I am going to compare buying three different Tracfones and spending around $100.

1. The least expensive Tracfone phone I can buy the $9.99 Motorola W175.
2. The Motorola W376 Refurbished for $29.99.
3. The $99.99 LG 225 DMFL camera phone with One year card.

With the cheapest $10 phone  I am going to add $90 in phone cards.  Three $30 cards.

With the $30 DMFL phone I am going to add $70 in phone cards.  One $30 and one $40 card.

With the LG 225 DMFL Camera phone I am going to just activate and use a bonus code.

Moto C139, Motorola W376 DMFL, LG cg225 DMFL Camera Phone

Cheap $10 Phone –Total spent $99.96–560 minutes–11 months*
I used bonus codes for 60 extra minutes on the three $30 cards and I got 180 minutes times 3  equals 540 minutes plus the 20 minutes when activating.  560 minutes

I received 90 days x 3 for 9 months plus the two months by activating.  Eleven months.

$30 DMFL Phone –Total Spent $96.96–820 minutes–11 months*
With the $30 phone card I got 120 x 2 + 60 (bonus code) for 300 minutes.  With the $40 card I got 200 x 2 + 60 equals 460 minutes.  I also got 20 minute on activation.  I got 780 minutes.  8 months or 240 days

LG 225 with One Year Card –Total Spent 96.99–1120 minutes–14 months*
I activated the phone and got two months and 20 minutes.  I used a bonus code for 300 minutes when activating the One year 400 minute card.

400 minutes x 2 dmfl + 300 bonus minutes equal 1100 minutes and 20 minute for activation 1120 minutes.

I received 12 months plus two months for activation equal 14 months.

Summary  of Tracfone vs Tracfone DMFL vs Tracfone LG 225 with One year Deal

It becomes obvious that the LG 225 phone for $100 is a far better deal.  First you get a much better NEW camera phone instead of refurbished, you get twice as many minutes as buying the cheap phone, and a third more minutes than the DMFL phone and you get three extra months of service.

Tracfone Purchase Discount
I also used a Purchase discount code which worked on the DMFL phone and the LG 225 for $3 off.  Check here for Tracfone Purchase Code.

Get the Moto W370 refurb + 60 Minute Card = $ 19.99  + Free shipping from the Tracfone Website.

* For simplicity I am considering 30 days of service time as a month.
