Any Tracfone TSVs coming up?

Stargazer77 — Thu, 10 Aug 2017 00:54:15 GMT

My mom needs a new Tracfone and I noticed QVC and HSN have pared down their available phones for sale (moreso HSN, which used to have quite a variety). Anyone know of anything coming up?

The q had a TSV somewhere around 5 weeks ago. There will probably be another closer toward Nov.

There is a LG Fiesta on the other channel which was a special earlier in the summer. Today it looks to be the price of the last special which is just under $130. It has 1500 min/text/data. These newer phones don't triple but the smarrtphone plans come out to be about the same so don't worry about that feature. Put LG Fiesta into the search because it doesn't always come up under tracfone.

@Stargazer77

Saw one on hsn that still had the triple minutes. I DVR everything I watch so not sure, but it may have been yesterday. Actually, I think they had 2 of them. One was a Smart Flip Phone with real keys, but with a smaller screen than those most seem to prefer these days.

The other was a newer version of the Samsung J7 that had the 7.0 operating system, and more internal memory. Not real sure if it was the 16 or 32g on that one. Seems like it also had an "Octacore" processor, and I am thinking 2g of RAM, and very few I've seen with that amount of RAM. Seemed like a good buy to me, but not 100% sure about the triple minutes. Seems like it was $129.

My husband has the ZTE flip phone on HSN and loves it. He never had icons that you touch before and learned quickly. I have the LG Fiesta and I have to say it is my favorite Tracfone. My sister-in-law called me today and wanted to buy the Tracfone I have. I emailed her the HSN info and she was going to order it. I have a lot of friends or family call and ask advice as I love to help them understand what it is they want to want for their needs.The LG Fiesta Tracfone has the 1500 minutes and I year built in the phone when you activate it so you don't have to make multiple calls to set up now. Hope this helps.

@lizzys..... I just wanted to thank you for that heads-up! I've been kicking myself since I missed it. My friend got that Fiesta when it was "today special" and loves it. I've been watching for it to come back in stock. Been searching in "tracfones" and you're right, it doesnt come up with the tracfones. So ... Thanks much! I think it is the same today's special price.

@MKR14.... Thanks for your terrific review! Been using tracfones for years.

I had looked seriously at the Fiesta about a month ago and that would be the one I would buy now; however, I decided to keep the one I have, the Samsung Core prime, for another year and just purchased 365 days of service for $50.00, so I'm good until 9/18.

You are welcome @Tabbycat! You are correct about the special price. I didn't have time to look into it that one special day and noticed it only went up $10 after the event. When I finally sat down to order it a few weeks later the price went up to $199!!! I couldn't believe the price went up so much so I ended up with something else I'm glad you were able to catch it at the good price of under $130 and free shipping! Enjoy it!

The QVC host said that the Samsung TSV offered last month was going to be the LAST Tracfone of the year. I thought that was odd because, as I recall, they've always had a TSV in late fall, but that's what prompted me to get the HSN Fiesta after their special presentation. I wouldn't normally do that for fear of getting faulty merchandise that had been returned, but one look at the comments indicates that most were returned for lack of triple minutes, so I got one and love it. The price was the same, and also included free s/h. This is the best one yet.LGs are quickly becoming my favorite.

Thank you for the replies, everyone!

Does anyone have experience with the LG Rebel 2? It's only 60 dollars, runs Android Marshmallow and I'm trying to figure out why it's so inexpensive, like what's wrong with it??

@Stargazer77, I checked out the Rebel on the LG site and see that the OS is the 5.1 Marshmallow, which is older. The newer phones are now running a 7 something. The newer phones have better cameras and some, like the Fiesta, have 16 GB of memory, which is so much better than the typical 8 GB. IHTH

Hi @lizzys ... Kind of the same thing happened to me. I decided after a little while that I would buy the phone after the glowing review my friend gave me. Then it had gone up to $199!!! My current Tracfone doesn't expire until January, so I figured they would have another special around the holidays and in the meantime I would watch for the phone to come back in stock. When you explained how to find it over there ... and I saw the price, I didn't wait. It will be delivered late in the week. Thanks again, Friend!

@Tabbycat That is great! I really hope we like it. I couldn't help myself and ended up ordering it too. Looks like mine might be coming on Friday. Enjoy it!

Hi Lizzy E...... my phone came yesterday, Thursday. I have it up and running. I think it's going to be a great phone. Still learning my way around. It has some differences from my old LG Power. Hope you have yours by now..... and loving it!!

@Tabbycat What differences?

HSN has the LG Fiesta back in stock at the TS price of $129. I'm tempted because I bought my current LG in August of 2016. Amazon also has this phone.

@Tabbycat I just got into my new Fiesta phone last night and think I will really enjoy it so I decided to get one for my husband too! Hope you are happy with your new phone!
