Does it come with a wall charger and cable?

I was going to wait until Christmastime, but I may just get it earlier. The one I'm interested in is QVC's E315229, currently on sale for $121.11. This appears to be the same one selling at HSN for $299.99, model XT2131DL. The price difference could be the software included in HSN's bundle, but I'm not interested in the office suite, teaser subscrptions, etc. It could also be the charger/cable, which HSN does say is included.

I have to say, QVC is remiss in not including on their site pertinent info that HSN does include--no charger info, no model number, no OS (I'm assuming it's 11). I also watched their original video clip, where they say the car charger is included, but don't mention a wall charger. That seems like an odd thing to leave out, especially these days when most companies aren't including them.

Thanks for your help!

@Moonlady   I don't actually know, but I believe if there's no info about a wall charger, then it's not included.

I've never seen a listing by any company telling me what is not included.

Some questions from about five months ago ask the same thing and people said E315229 did have a house charger in the box.  Check out the Q & A on the product page.

@Moonlady - Yes, I have this phone.  The home wall charger is in the Tracfone box with the phone (just as all Tracfones do).  I've never bought a Tracfone that didn't come with the charger.  I also like the small stand that comes with this phone - it's on my desk right now and is great for having the phone next to me while I'm working.  

I love this phone.  I left a review recently about the "no internet" problem that people have mentioned, as well as posting a thread on these forums about how to fix it.

If you have that problem, have a look at that thread.  There is nothing wrong with the phone - you just have to turn on a particular setting.

I think they don't mention the home charger because it's a given that it's always included.  The car charger and stand are additional accessories included.

It's a great phone!

@Moonlady - One other thing included with this phone (and most that can be upgraded for memory) is a tiny little metal "key".  It's in its own little plastic bag and can easily be overlooked (and even tossed away with the packing materials).

You use it to open the microcard slot, if you want to add more memory.

I haven't needed to and I have more photos and videos than I can count.

Hope you love the phone, if you get it.

I just ordered the phone; thanks to everyone for their help!

@Venezia, I'm happy to see you have this exact phone, and I do remember your post addressing the internet setting. I'm sure I'll like this phone, as I've noticed that other reviewers, too, outside of those on QVC/HSN have given it high marks.

@millieshops - I've never bought any Tracfone (or any electronic device really) that hasn't included a wall charger.  It's a standard item, in my experience, so there's no need to specify it.

The other things are listed because they're an included bonus.

@Venezia   Definitely used to be common no matter the brand.  I paid extra for a new wallcharger for my most recent iPhone.  If I'd been thinking better, I would have skipped that fee and added my dollars to get a wireless charger instead.
