[Electronics-talk] [Bulk] Tracfone cell phone service?

[Michael]

Hi Raquel
I had a track phone for about a year when I had low but reasonable vision. 
I found it very difficult to use.  I had to use a magnifying glass to see 
the menu's.  The buttons were so small I had to have a friend put bump dots 
on the buttons.  If I didn't purchase what they considered an adequate 
number of minutes, my SIM card would not work and they had to send me a new 
SIM card.  Activating the card required putting multiple 13 to 15 digit 
numbers in the phone and I had to have a friend do this.  So I found the 
phone to be a total pain, mainly because I had low vision.  But they only 
charge ten cents per minute.  You purchase these minutes and then enter the 
codes into the phone to activate them.  They require that you purchase an 
average of 120 minutes per month if I recall to keep the SIM card from 
expiring.

Although the cost seemed reasonable, the frustration that I got using the 
phone made me junk it.
