Tracfone TSV Coming Up

Jordan2 — Wed, 24 Feb 2016 23:37:17 GMT

I noticed in InsideQ there is a Tracfone Smartphone from LG coming up on March 23. It's printed on top of the program grid so there is no picture, price, or order number. It will have 1350 minutes, texts, and data. I'm looking to get a new phone so I'll hold off until this is aired.

i've been wanting to get one from on here since last yr. but i'm worried about calling them and getting it set up, and i hear transfering your old phone number can be a major pain. i dont want to have to go through talking to multiple people and taking days to get set up.. so i dont know, but there last deal sounded so good....

Darn....I needed a new one so ordered a few weeks ago. But, I like the phone and it works well.

If you set up your phone over the internet it is extremely easy and fast.

I didn't even see that in the insider. I suspected it was a phone.

I've bought eight phones over the years. Four for me, four for my mother. A couple I did over the phone and had no issue. They were nice and knowledgeable. I did the rest on the internet. I had a little trouble, but that was because I didn't follow the directions . Duh.

I am due for a new Tracfone, I noticed that HSN is also having a Tracfone TS on March 6th. Wish the Q and HSN would have them on the same day would be easier to decide which one to buy.

I have used Tracfone for years and am on new phone #9, same phone number and remaining time etc transferred over. I think some have issues with this because they either don't read ALL the instructions, or do not follow them 1 step at a time.

The only time I had a minor problem when I bought Tracfones 1st model smart phone. I think they were not as prepared as they should have been for now having to deal with: e-mails and data along with their normal minutes and expiration dates.

Dealing with Tracfone to me is much easier than dealing with a Rep in any cell provider contract phone store.

.Happy to see this, and I've been happy with the LG. I'll check HSN, too. It'll be interesting to see who the Tracfone rep is because Janice is no longer with them.

Is it one year of air time? Do you know the price? I don't have a cell phone at the moment. I could use one for emergencies.

I'm interested in the TSV item number so i can read the reviews,etc.

Thank you.

Usually these phones are good for 1 year. You can always add an airtime card to your phone to extend the minutes, data, texts, and time. HSN is having a TTV on a phone earlier in the month. If it seems good I might order and hold off setting it up to see what QVC has to offer. I can always return the HSN phone.

@hckynut

thanks for all the information on your trac phones it helped me decide to upgrade mine.

I ordered the early tsv from the other place..looks like a very good buy!

I have a blah trac fone and still have 1250 minutes on it...so this will be a big update for me.

@Cowboy sam

You're welcome, glad I was able to help. Saw the LG Tracfone you ordered. If I didn't have so many months till mine expires, I would have probably ordered one myself. Looks like a darned to good deal to me.

Let me know how you like it will you? I didn't see who the Carrier is for this phone. I always DVR every electronics show there on also the other network. I'll watch a presentation and see who the Carrier(s)is/are for this phone.

T-Mobile is useless in our area. The best for us is Verizon and AT&T, my old employer.

Enjoy your weekend. Hey! I have always LOVED the sound of the RAM Hemi engines going back to the 1950's and my drag racing days. Beautiful music to my ears!!!

Since QVC doesn't even list Tracfone as a carrier at this time I suspect there will not be a Tracfone TSV coming up soon. They may, however, offer an LG or other phone through Boost, Sprint or T-Mobile since they are the only carriers listed but "packages" offered through those carriers generally cannot compare to Tracfone packages.

I'm watching the LG TSV presentation on the southern channel now, @hckynut , and I can confirm that the carrier IS AT&T. Looks like a good one to me, too.

For anyone potentially interested... the LG Sunset Tracfone TSV mentioned above is item #075-741 $89.99 , 4 Flex or 5 with HSN card, Free Ship. 1350 mins/data ... HTH's

I tried to edit my earlier post to John, but the edit wasn't working.

Re: Tracfone TSV Coming Up

Moonlady — Sun, 06 Mar 2016 13:41:54 GMT

According to another poster, QVC *has* scheduled a TracFone bundle TSV for later this month. In addition, TracFone is not a wireless "carrier." As an MVNO, it purchases data, phone minutes, and texts wholesale from Verizon, T-mobile, ATT, etc. BTW, that HSN offer is spectacular, especially with 1350 units instead of the usual 1200. And the phone looks great. I'm partial to LGs but, since I already have the 4.5" screen Ultimate 2, I'm going to pass. LG just released their latest in the "G" series a couple of weeks ago (LG G6). Maybe Q or HSN will offer those in a few years lol.

Re: Tracfone TSV Coming Up

Jordan2 — Sun, 06 Mar 2016 21:15:17 GMT

I ordered the TS from HSN. I'm still going to see if QVC is going to have a TSV. I have a question. I wasn't paying close attention but I think it was said you can activate this phone whenever you want. You use to have to activate within 60 days or lose the triple minutes, is this true?

Re: Tracfone TSV Coming Up

Ms Nixie — Sun, 06 Mar 2016 21:32:04 GMT

The phone has triple minutes for life, it is the promotional package you need to redeem within 60 days

Re: Tracfone TSV Coming Up

tink — Sun, 06 Mar 2016 21:47:52 GMT

It is true if memory serves me correctly, either 30 or 60 days. So this sounds like a great deal; I can wait until my contract is up before I activate it. And the triple minutes are good for life, which is awesome!

Re: Tracfone TSV Coming Up

Ms Nixie — Sun, 06 Mar 2016 22:18:27 GMT

It is a great deal, but I am going to pass on it. I want the carriers to be Verizon and AT & T, that is what I have on my phone now. T-Mobile just doesn't work in my area.
