For anyone looking for a cellphone HSN has an LG Sunset 4.5" 4G LTE Android 5.0 Tracfone with 1200 Minutes tripled for life, for $129.95 Free Shipping & Handling. I just got a phone so I won't be purchasing it. You can buy it now, I think it's the TS for tomorrow.

I think that's the first 4G LTE Tracfone. Everything before this has been a 3G phone. I may upgrade to that in January when my current minutes expire.

I thought your minutes can be added to your new phone? That's what I did when I got my new phone.

When you use a TracFone, there are two components to consider.  First are your minutes which can carry over to a new phone.  The second is your period of service, typicalły one year when you purchase one of these package deals.  The year starts the day you activate your phone and any time you had on your old phone is lost.  That's why you want to purchase within a few weeks of your phone's expiration date.

When I upgraded my Tracfone ealier this year, I didn't lose any time from my old phone.

Do you mean you may upgrade when your airtime expires? Minutes left can just be tranfered.

Looks like a good one. I ordered last week the same phone I have had for almost a year now. I have a Samsung Centura and am happy with it, and since my year expires on the 26th? It is scheduled for delivery tomorrow.

For my use the Centura does what I need, so it was cheaper to buy a new one than add minutes. At $79.95 delivered, that is about $6.50 per month. Add my 3,000 of texts/data and minutes to the 1200 with this new one? I did get a different color cover, so not exactly the same. Might also be a newer version of Android, didn't even check.

This is one of the first branded Tracfones to have 4G and the newest operating system...Lollypop 5.0.  It is one of the first Tracfone smartphones to run off the AT&T network, so it does have a simcard.  It has a nice, big screen the same size as my Ultimate 2.  Unlike the U2 that only has a dual core processor, the Sunset has a quad-core processor.  When you upgrade from one TF to another, you do not lose days of service or minutes.  You activate the phone first, and all airtime and minutes are transferred to the new phone.  Then you add the 365 day/400 minute promotion (triples to 1200), and it is added to the existing days/ minutes that transferred.  I bought a new phone last September and then upgraded in December.  My service time does not expire until May of 2017, and I have a ton of talk, texts, and data to use.

Which is better T-Mobile or Tracfone?  I was planning to upgrade my T-Mobile phone before I saw this.  Really need some input.  Thanks.

I've been waiting patiently for this. I've used TracFone for almost 10 years without a problem I live in AT&T territory so I needed a GSM based phone, and the features on this one are superb. When I bought my last TracFone about 3 years ago, the time and minutes did transfer. The phone I am using now is an LG and it is the best cell I have ever had.
