Trafone add ons

bargainsgirl — Thu, 15 Sep 2022 01:18:07 GMT

I used to be able to buy just service days within the "add ons" extra. Now I can't seem to get that option. Has it changed? Can I still buy service days? Not liking these changes! If someone knows how please let me know.

I haven't seen that in a while.

I have more minutes and texts that I'll never use because of the way Tracfone has changed the add ons.

I just renewed my tracfone for another year. I have had tracfone for 6 years but the only service amount available during that time is one year. I renewed about 3 weeks early but they started my year in October when it would have expired. I only ever have to add on phone minutes because I don't text much or use data. I use my ipads with wifi when I am home.

I can add on and it's usually texts. I don't use data much or phone. They extend service for add ons, at least not for me. You have to pay to extend your service or use an auto plan. I usually get a new phone if HsN is offering one when it's close to my service time. Cheaper and everything can be transfered over from old phone.

Text HELP to 611611. Choose 2-add a plan. Follow instructions.

I hope this hasn't changed.

The last I checked, you could still add on texts or data and it will then give the option to add on a year of service st a cheaper rate. Can't remember if it was $49.99 or $59.99.

You really have to massage the website to get what you want these days, but usually if you add something minimal to the cart, other options pop up. Calling 611 611 seems to offer more limited options. Logging into the website seems often to lead to glitches, but you don't necessarily have to log into an account to add whatever you need. You can do so by using your phone number. After many years, I might be moving on, as Tracfone is not what it used to be. It's a shame, another once good service taken over by a major company who've managed to make a mess of things.

Go to add-ons and select texts (cheapest), minutes, or data. Then in the next screen, you will see the option to add on 365 days of service for $49.99.

@bargainsgirl did you get it to work?

Re: Trafone add ons

@In-x-s

That option wasn't available when I added data last week.
Since Verizon now owns Tracfone, some options have changed or been eliminated.

@Ainhisg : I just tried this because my plan ends on 10/9/22. I followed your instructions. Cheapest add on was $5 for 1000 text and my only option for 365 days for $125 and not $49.99. Bummer. I really needed the $49.99. I have been dealing with a lot lately and wanted this deal instead of looking for a new phone.🥲🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️. Do you or anyone else have any better suggestions? Thank you in advance.

@SouthernBee on the texts choice, click on select plan. The next screen is the second screen shot I posted, which shows the special offers in the bottom left. Click on the bottom one, which is 365 days of service, and then check out.

@Ainhisg : Thank you. Sorry for the misunderstanding. In cart = 1000 text for $5 and 365 service days $49.99 So I still have left over : talk = 1540 , text = 1718 and Data = 2.8 GB - will this roll over ? Or do I need to purchase more? Your help is greatly appreciated.

@Ainhisg : Thank you for all your help. I am relieved that I can keep this phone for one more year. I will go finish my order. Enjoy your weekend.
