Yes- you're correct- expiration was the reason.

Also my phone HAS to be on when I'm in the car in order for it to "link".I don't understand "DATA?--- I only give my cell number to my family- Ihave a home phone w/answering machine for anyone else.  ..

I don't understand the way talk, text and data are purchased- how do I judge how much I would need? I do text sometimes- I do "call" sometimes and some are long-distance (but in the states) -- what is data?  I prefer a camara for photos (I am able to take them on my lg but usually don't)     Also I've tried to find batteries for my LG360 and not having much luck (checked amazon) and I really don't want to spend a lot on a battery that may not be a used or made by some weird company that ends up not being compatible.. I was also unaware that I could buy a one year card w/o minutes- yes I have so many minutes because I buy the 60 minute cards (which triple to 180) in order to keep it active- so I thought that's what I had to do- had tracfones for so long - never thought to investigate into new frontiers lol!---

If you are hesitant to purchase a new battery through Amazon check out specialty places like batterywarehouseonline.com or batteriesplus.com

Data is when you are using the internet. 

I use very little data because I use the computer for browsing.

Can anyone suggest a decent point and shoot camera for under $200 ? I am not a photog wanna be and the camera on cell phones are a joke, just want something I can carry around and take a pic when needed. thanks

 DATA is internet access when you aren't in a Wi Fi area. For instance I was waiting for DH at the dentist for an hour. I wanted to use the internet but there was no public Wifi so I turned on DATA and played some games while I waited for him.

Not sure what kinda cell phone you have, but my $79 5mp Samsung takes great pictures. And my wife's 13mg Galaxy S8?  I ain't a photog expert, but those look better than Kodak 10mp/50X zoom camera!

Now if zoom is what you are looking for, even my wife's S8 doesn't do that job. I can't recommend any brand because don't do enough pix taking to check out the newer under $200 cameras.

@wagirl....I have a panasonic digital camera.  It takes good photos, it is pretty old now and I would guess you could get one with more mega pixels than what mine has.....it's easy to use as well.

After I take photos I transfer them to my MacBook via the cables that came with the camera, I also have a HP Photosmart printer that I can print to....very convenient.

Hmmm--- so if my phone links to my car- (can make and get calls but it will require using data? and if I'm driving- Am I using my data even if I'm not calling or getting a call?Or just when I'm talking w/someone?

If and when you only need to extend your service date for one year,

remember you can go to Tracfone site and  buy one year for $50.00

I do that because I don't need any more mins., data, etc.
