How many apps can the tracfone support without using up too much space?

How many gb does the phone have?

The one I was using only had 8gb so you really could not add much of anything. I removed all the apps my phone would let me remove. I was trying to use Wal-Mart grocery app but it stopped working. The phone kept telling me I needed to delete apps but nothing left to delete.

I bought  an unlocked Nokia with 32gb so I don't have those issues now.

If you are a regular Tracfone customer, a 32GB Motorola G7 Maxx from HSN running on Verizon  will be just fine

Please do not buy an unlocked phone from Walmart. HSN or QVC sells very good Tracfones running on Verizon CDMA network. 

 

I  used a 32GB smartphone for about 4 years, and I storage my photo on Google Photos free.

I bought my Nokia at Amazon. It's a new phone that comes with updates. 

I could no longer buy a Tracfone because none offered work on the GSM network which is all that works in my area with AT&T. The only Tracfones offered with GSM were 8gb. I bought them for years but for some reason Tracfone is not selling them now? Has to have something to do with the new 5G?

If I talk to a customer service rep with Tracfone they say Tracfone does not work in our area even though I was on a Tracfone talking to them??? LOL!!! It's the only phones we have ever used until now.

Check your phone storage to see how much free space is available. Check the app information to see the size of the download. Then do the math.

 

If you need more storage space, add an SD card and move what you can onto that.

LOL, 

Customer service does not know what will work in your area.

Thx I am really trying to decide what to do.  I have an iphone 5s - which I love, but which needs to be replaced soon as I got a notice they would not be doing more updates after some date in 2021.

 

I love the size of it.  Actually I preferred the size of the iphone 3 which I had until I had to give it up.

 

I'm thinking of a tracfone, but I also love everything the iphone does and don't want to lose apps and features and end up frustrated.

 

Still considering.  Thanks for the info.
