“TracPhone” Prepaid?
You probably noticed right away that I wrote “TracPhone” instead of TracFone. You also probably know the correct spelling, but people who are looking for help figuring out how to get started don’t necessarily know. And this article is meant to help people who have never used TracFone, or those of you who may be considering a switch to “TracPhone.”
Earlier this week I posted about the advantages of Net10 – now I thought I’d counter with all the reasons that people should consider TracFone for their wireless needs. I hope that those of you who are long-time TracFoners will consider it worthwhile to spend some time reading, and maybe consider passing it along to friends who are looking for a prepaid phone.
It’s actually partially a repost of an article I wrote 6 months ago, but I thought it was worth another look, especially for people that weren’t reading this blog back when it was first published. After I initially published the article, I was happy to have a great deal of feedback, and I’ve now incorporated many of those comments and suggestions to make the article even more informative.
Again, I’d really appreciate it if you would pass this info, and/or the previous post, on to those who might benefit from it. Now, here’s the link:

Thanks for the info. I’m a new Tracfone user and thi will be helpful.
I used to hate budgets. But I also hated spending money I didn’t have. I dumped my credit cards except for one for EMERGENCIES. Cash or debit card only now.
I’d decided to dump my AT&T phone for a prepaid phone. Got a Tracfone for 30 bucks but it was kinda-sorta free since it came with 30 bucks worth of air time.
Now I budget my phone use by buying the amount of time I want, up front. I also got a double minutes card which makes it an even better value.
There are some expenses that can be “managed” and those are the ones to budget.
