I took the plunge. It's a good deal, IMO. I got the Polka Dot.

Yippie! Hope you like it. I use mine for work and never had a dropped call. I on,y use it for work when I work from home. I can block my number before calling someone. I'm going to get the pink stripe and upgrade. The only thing I don't like about the lg tracfone is there's no keyboard. The TSV does. I'm also transferring my minutes.

I did it for the upgrade too. I didn't really need it yet, but I wanted the android.

The last TSV was my third trac fone and I love it. I've had trac fone for 5 years and it works really well for me.

It's always a victory for me when I remember why I entered a room.

I don't think the TSV has a keyboard?

It doesn't, but it does have a touch board. Lg you had to keep hitting the keys. Like if you wanted to spell/text the word cat, you had to hit the one button there times for c, once for a and another key twice for t.

I've got the LG and I don't do that. It's a normal touch board.

Hmmmm. I only get the normal touch board for texting. When I want to get on the net, I have to do multiple touch thing. It's a pain and it's time consuming.

I did all the steps and had no problems setting up the phone. At first I kept getting calls for someone who had the number previously, so I got a new number. Got message that the phone was set up , but every time I would try and make a call, got a message to buy more minutes. Called tracfone and they said they would take care of it. I tried to make a call, same thing. Customer service agents could not speak good English and could not fix problem. After a few weeks of calling customer service on another phone, I finally just gave up and returned it to QVC. Will never use tracfone.......

All you have to do is call the number for the minutes code and then get on line. It takes about two minutes. This is my second Tracfone and I love it. Best service I've ever had - no static or dropped calls ever. I DO NOT call their customer service as they don't speak English. There is an e-mail form on their web site and the few times I've had questions, I've used that and they answer promptly. Also, somewhere there is a number that you can call that doesn't get you overseas. I don't have it at this point, but that number goes to FL which is where they are based.

I have had a Tracfone for years but I have an old one. O bought the TSV and customer service at Tracfone did not do what QVC said they would about taking my minutes from my old phone. So I did get my old number but they cut off my old phone and it still had 611 minutes left on it. I called QVC and told them I would be sending it back. I also called Tracfone back and they told me in order to get my old phone back on they would have to sen me another SIM card. I was ready for vacation so my hubby had a cell phone but I didn't. I was very upset. When I got home from vacation the Sim card was here and today I had them to cut my old phone on but all of my numbers were gone. So now I have to put all my numbers back in. I don't think I will ever buy another thing from QVC. Lately everything I have gotten I have had to send back.
