NEXT TRACFONE SPECIAL COMING UP?

Tinkrbl44 — Tue, 25 Apr 2023 08:18:51 GMT

Either on HSN or QVC ... or wherever .... anyone know when the next Today's Special is coming up for Tracfone with a phone and ... yadda yadda yadda?

The last one was over before I realized it was being featured.

There are some current good deals on TracFone phones on both channels. QVC has two good deals on Motorola phones. You can get two Moto G Power phones, each with the 1500 minutes+ for $104.98 or the Motorola Moto G Stylus 5G for $110.11 also with the 1500 minute package. They also have the Moto G Stylus 5G listed further down for $355.78 which is crazy. The same phone at two vastly different prices.

HSN has the Samsung A13 with 5G for $99.99. All three phones are pretty competent little phones for less than $120 with a year's service. Less than $10 a month gets you a new phone (or two) and service plan.

@Tinkrbl44 In addition to gardenman's comments, HSN has FREE S&H on all their Tracfones.

TODAY ONLY (4/25)-------> $20 off on all orders over $99 if you use a HSN card.

That is one sweet deal if you have a HSN card. I would jump right on it if you have their cc & looking for a cell phone.

@gardenman I have the Samsung A13 and am very pleased with it. It does all I need!

I have been a Tracfone phone user for 19 years and I will never buy another one. QVC said I get 24 gigs with my phone buy only got 12. I have screen shots and neither Tracfone on QVC would give me the missing 12 gig. Then to make matters worse, the data I had left, which was like 17 gig just disappeared. They said I need an unlimited plan, which I have, was the reason I lost 17 gig. I spent over 2 hours calling every number I could find to get it back before some lady there said I would get it back in 24 hours but that was a lie too. I will never buy Tracfone or QVC again. I got burned 2 times on 1 phone. That other tread was right. Tracfone service went down hill

@kemame3

Like you, I too have had TracFone for many years. Didn't know they had an unlimited plan. How much does that cost you per month?

My reason for using TracFone is because of the pay upfront, so no monthly bills. I didn't know that data was that important. I use mine rarely, but I have yet to use it where it wouldn't connect to my locations free wifi.

In all the years I have used their service for a 12 month period, I have yet to use over 200mb of data. What exact plan comes with 24gb of data?

I know cell phones that come with 100's of GB of data, but a TracFone plan? Not aware of that one. Mansplain please!

@Mz iMac

Thank you for this info. Looks about $17 a month, which ain't bad for those that use their cells a lot.

For my $5 a month I get way more than I need. 24g of data? Where do people live that need that much?

i want to see smaller phones with less features. one of the most promising phones ive seen in the past months is the nokia 6300, the modern 4g one. i would have commited to it if it wasnt for the kaios it runs on. its almost perfect except it doesnt have spotify available to install, and from what ive read its impossible to offload some apps that i dont need like facebook or youtube. ive looked and theres a ton of these niche brand flip phones that can run this or that, but for some reason i dont want to show up at my service provider with a phone that i had to buy off of a reddit link

@destructor

While squinting to read your small font, I came up with this.

From what you describe you want, you really don't want a TracFone. Offload Apps? Good luck with that with a Tracfone.

@Mindy D That phone does not come w/a wall (AC/USB) charger!

"Plus, this bundle comes with a phone case, car charger, desk stand, and voucher to keep you educated and entertained."

"Includes Samsung Galaxy A23 smartphone with one year of service/1,500 minutes/1,500 texts/1.5GB data; case, car charger, desk stand, and voucher"

You have to run out to your car to charge your phone?

If you don't own a car, you are SOL.

Re: NEXT TRACFONE SPECIAL COMING UP?

Mindy D — Tue, 02 May 2023 22:50:57 GMT

@Mz iMac @The phone includes a power cord and charger adapter. Someone named Anneca asked about this and received a reply from Janet in Customer Care in the Questions section for the item online.

Re: NEXT TRACFONE SPECIAL COMING UP?

gardenman — Wed, 03 May 2023 10:15:15 GMT

This is the norm for phones these days. USB charging is fairly universal. If you have any USB charger already, you can use it with your new phone. If you have a power strip, clock radio, computer, or anything else that lets you plug in a USB device, you already have a charger and don"t need to use your car. The vast majority of buyers don't need another wall charger which is why manufacturers stopped including them.

Re: NEXT TRACFONE SPECIAL COMING UP?

Tinkrbl44 — Thu, 04 May 2023 20:18:08 GMT

@gardenman

I believe I got car charger with my Samsung, but have never used it. No idea where it might be, either.

Charging a phone in your car? Why don't they just come up with batteries that have more power and can last longer?

Re: NEXT TRACFONE SPECIAL COMING UP?

gardenman — Thu, 04 May 2023 21:21:07 GMT

@Tinkrbl44

Car chargers are handy for people who drive a lot and use their phone for GPS. They're also handy if the power goes out for an extended time or if you forgot to charge your phone overnight. I keep one in my car's glovebox just in case.

Re: NEXT TRACFONE SPECIAL COMING UP?

hckynutjohn — Thu, 04 May 2023 21:39:57 GMT

@gardenman

Some cars will not charge without the key in the ON position. We have one of them, and my wife found out the hard way, when she thought her phone was charging overnight. Works good while driving but worthless unless one wants to leave the keys in their ignition.

I called and their answer was send it back for a refund. Who can go without a working phone because I bought 2 that were all our phones and couldn't go back to our old phones. They wouldn't send new ones with the full 24 gig.
