I have the Tracfone Ultimate 2; I bought it from the Q several months ago. Overall, I am very satisfied with the phone, especially the larger screen.

I have that one too and I love the bigger screen. I just thought it was kinda nice that they were offering all those choices, instead of just presenting one. Different sizes, different prices, something for everyone.

I agree, that's better for the consumer and is more like the normal shopping experience of comparing different versions of the same thing.

I've never owned a phone other than a Tracfone. I refuse to pay monthly charges. I only use it for emergencies.

I was with Verizon for years. Then decided to try Tracfone. I was hesitant but glad I did. Bought it here on the Q, 4.5" screen, data and text, with triple minutes for life. Works great and no more monthly bills.

I have had Tracfone for years. In December changed to LG L34C not happy with it. The worst thing is in less than a month I have lost over 4700 talk minutes and 5000 data minutes. Don't have a clue why.

Tracfone suggest that I didn't hang up after a call, but I told them the battery would have went dead before I used 4700 minutes. I not a heavy user - maybe 4 -5 calls or text a month and have never used data.

I am on a monthly plan with my husband and his phone updates with minutes every month, my old phone did also. This phone does not, have to call or chat to get minutes. Debating on to keep the phone or go back to old one.

I have a tracfone too and when I buy the yearly minutes I also buy an additional year card so when I have to renew again it won't be until 2017.

I have been using varied styles of Tfone for 10 years now-no contracts, just purchase minutes. I don't want a camera or texting so this works for me.

Jordan, I have the LG Ultimate 2 and I LOVE IT!  I don't think you can go wrong with this phone.

How much do you pay per month for the Android TracFone?

I pay nothing per month as I don't come close to using the 1200 texts, minutes or 1.2 gb's of data over the course of the year. (I do nearly all of my online stuff using wi-fi.) Next January I'll need a new yearly card, but they're available for around $90. If you divide that $90 by twelve you end up spending about $7.50 per month. That's a pretty good bargain for those of us who don't live on our phones.

I bought one in April, with 1200 minutes as part of the purchase.

Ive been unable to activate since beginning of May, either by Tracfone.com, or by phone.  The experience has been horrendous.  Today alone, Ive been on hold for almost 20 minutes, waited for call-backs for 30 minutes, only to be disconnected.  I have spoken to several people, but the final straw was today, still trying to activate this phone, when I was told by a Tracfone agent, they dont support technical help for the phones.  I should contact Samsung!!  Ive now written to Rick D via Facebook, and attempted to contact Corporate, with no success as yet.

 

customer service were very helpful, as always, but they could only give me another number to call. This was the tech support who told me to contact Samsung!!
