Get a Pager for $6.66 per month

Pagers are not very popular any more.  At one time they were very popular and expensive.  The advantage to a pager is if you want to be reachable but not necessarily talk you can always be in contact.

Use a Tracfone as a Pager.

You can buy a Tracfone for $10 to $20.  With Caller ID you can always see who is calling or who has called.  Pay $20 and put 60 minutes and 90 days on your phone ($ 6.66 per month).  Put a message on the phone saying “You have reached the Pager of James Madison, I will call you back shortly.”  If you buy the $20 Tracfone cards and use your Tracfone for calling you will pay a lot to talk.  As a Pager they work just fine.

Leave an Outgoing Message

If you want to leave a message about your where you are or where you are going to be you can use a Tracfone as a messenger.  You can change the message from a land line or another cell phone without using your minutes.  Just call in use your PIN number which you will get when you set up your voice mail and set up your message.   You can also check your messages without using your phone minutes.

Is your Child Grounded?

If you take their cell phone away but you still want to be able to reach them give them a Tracfone with only 60 minutes on it and make them use it as a pager.  They have to call you back as soon as they get the call from another phone.  They are not allowed to call or text or answer any other calls.  You can easily check the call log on the phone.

The Best $16.66 per Month Cell Phone

So I know what you are thinking.  You cannot get a cell phone for less than $40 a month plus taxes and you have to sign a one year or two year contract.  That is no longer true.  You can get a phone for as little as 6.66 per month–here is an article on the Best Emergency Phone.  Which could also be called the best $6.66 per month cell phone.

Net10 and Tracfone Samsung R451c Qwerty Keyboard

What makes the Best $16.66 per month Phone?

{In my Opinion|My evaluation} the most important point would be who has

• The most minutes to use for $16.66 per month.
• No Contract to sign.
• No Credit Check Required.
• Usable every day
• Available

With that in mind I have evaluated T-Mobile Prepaid, Tracfone, Net10, Go phone and Verizon Prepaid.   All of these companies have national or nearly national plans.

The Options.

T-Mobile, Go Phone, Verizon, all have pretty much the same options.  If you purchase a $100 card you can have access for a year.  They have $1 per day plans that give unlimited calling to their own network and after you pay your $1 you get 10 cent minutes.  They also have 25 cents per minute plans with no daily charge.  T-Mobile has a straight 10 cents a minute plan as long as you put in $100 first.  There are better options

$16.66 per Month is $200 per Year

That {is|happens to be} the cost of one of the best values in Prepaid phone usage.  The $200 per year phone plan from Tracfone.com gives you 3,000 minutes and One year of service for $16.66 per month if you pay {for a year|$200} {to start the plan|in advance}.

6.6 cents per minute.  No limits on your calling, no long distance charges, no roaming charges and yet your phone will roam onto several cell networks.

If you use all 3,000 minutes before your year is up you can purchase more for the same price (you will have to spend $200 to get the 6.6 cent rate.)  If you do not use all of your minutes they Roll Over as long as you keep your service active.

You are in control of your minutes.  You buy them and use them as fast or as slow as you want.  You will always know how many minutes you have left because it shows right on the screen of your phone.

If you average 250 minutes a month your minutes will last for 12 months.  You can use 400 on month and 100 the next.

As recently as 2005 you would pay at least 20 cents a minute for prepaid minutes in the US.

Tracfone has the best $16.66 per month Plan

You can only purchase the $200 one year 3,000 Tracfone plan online at Tracfone.com.  To get 3,000 minutes you have to have DMFL on your phone before your add the $200 card.

Get $3 off on any Tracfone phone of $19.99 or more with coupon code 23444

Runner up in the $16.66 per Month Phone Contest

In my opinion runner up goes to Net10.com.  You can purchase phone cards for $30 anytime from Net10 that give you ten cent minutes.  No $1 per day monthly fee just add a $30 phone card and you get 10 cent minutes.

Net10 up will give you 166 minute per month compared to Tracfone’s 250 minutes per month for $16.66.

You will only have to spend $30 for two months with Net10 and you will have to invest $200 to get the Tracfone deal.  If you were getting a Contract phone the $200 would be about 3 or 4 months service charge.

Summary

The Best $$16.66 250 minutes per month deal is only available at the Tracfone Website. Buy the $200 1500 minute refill with DMFL already installed on your phone and get 3000 minutes.

How do I check my Tracfone Service Time?

If your “Due Date” does not show on your screen you can go to your menu and click on prepaid. Then scroll down to “Airtime info.” Both your airtime balance and Due date will show. You must add another Tracfone card to your phone before the Due Date to keep your service active. Even if you have minutes left you will need to add another card to keep your service active.

Tracfone and Net10 LG 200c and Samsung R451c Phones

If I transfer my Minutes to a new phone do I have to transfer my phone number too?

No you can easily transfer you minutes and service time to a new phone. This new phone can be active or inactive. The phone you are transferring from must have both minutes and service time left.

The $200 Tracfone Annual Plan

The $200 annual Tracfone plan is the best deal in pre pay phones. No one else offers the length of time you get to use the phone with the very low minute price of 6.6 cents a minute if you are using Double minutes for life.

What is Double Minutes for Life

Tracfone DMFL is Double Minutes for life of your phone. With DMFL you will receive twice the units which are printed on the Tracfone Unit Card. This will last as long as you use this cell phone. If you let your service to lapse the Double minutes for life will continue to work when you reactivate your mobile phone. I do not suggest ever adding units on a Tracfone which does not have Double minutes installed on the phone. If you install two double minute cards you will not get quadruple minutes.

Verizon Prepaid Wireless Review

Verizon Wireless features one of the largest and most reliable cellular networks in the nation. Verizon Wireless also offers prepay Wireless services. Here is the Logo which we all relate to “Can you Hear Me Now”

Verizon offers four Prepaid Wireless plans

The Verizon Prepaid Basic Plan with 25 cents per minute and no daily access fee. The Verizon Wireless Basic plan is not a good value when you compare to other prepaid wireless plans. Net10.com for 10 cents a minute or Tracfone.com from 6.6 cents up to 33 cents a minute are much better options.

The Verizon Core Plan is 99 cents per day for access and calls are 10 cents per minute. Unlimited calls to Verizon Wireless cell phones are free of charge. I utilized theVerizon Core program for almost a year, if your main calls are generally to other Verizon Wireless phones this can be a great deal.

The Verizon Plus Plan is $1.99 per day access and charges 5 cents per minute. In essence this is the same as the Core plan with Unlimited Nites and Weekends added and you will only pay 5 cents per text to receive and send.

The Verizon Prepaid Unlimited Talk Plan offers Unlimited minutes and one-cent text messages for $3.99 per day.

Verizon Prepaid Per Day Fees

The Per Day fees are only charged on the days the phone is used.

The Per Day fees are from Midnight to Midnight local time. If you haven’t used your Verizon Prepaid phone for a full 24 hours and then you make a phone call to another Verizon phone at 11:55 pm and the call lasts until 12:05 (ten minutes later) you will be charged $1 for each day or $2.

If you only make one call in a day it will cost you $1 plus airtime. If you mainly make calls to non Verizon Wireless phones the dollars go away quickly.

Verizon has over 80 million customers therefore the Basic plan with Unlimited Verizon to Verizon calling for 99 Cents a day gives you a lot of phones you can contact.

Initial Charges for Verizon Prepaid.

You will pay up to a $25 fee when you initialize your Prepaid Verizon cell phone. I activated mine at a Verizon store and purchased a $30 card all at once. The person that helped me did not charge me the fee. I did spend $79.95 on the cellphone.

Verizon Prepaid Customer Service

Customer Service can be reached 24/7 by email, a toll free number and from your Verizon prepaid cell phone without incurring airtime charges. I have used the Verizon Customer service several times with great results. I have used Tracfone and Net10 and Straight Talk customer serviceand it is not nearly as good as Verizon Wireless Customer Care.
I have gone to a Verizon store for assistance as well as called 611 from my Prepaid phone. The Customer Support people have been excellent. The phone support person was located in Arizona not Chile.

Free Calls to Customer Support.

With Tracfone, Net10 and Straight Talk your calls to customer support it will cost you minutes. Call Verizon at 611 and it is free.

Converting from Prepaid to Contract

Your Verizon Wireless Pay as you go phone can be converted to a Contract phone if you have used it for six months or more as a prepaid phone. You will not have to sign a contract to add this to a contract. I was able to add one to a Verizon contract for $10 a month on a month by month basis. This worked well for me, a Long Term Contract rate without a long term contract.

Verizon Prepaid Phone Service

It will cost you a minimum of $10 a month or $100 per year to maintain Verizon Prepaid service.

Verizon Service Expiration

If your balance goes to Zero or if your Service time runs out your account will expire.

Using your Prepaid Phone as a Pager

Caller ID can act like a pager when your account balance is low on Money. Check the caller Id and call back on a landline.

Tracfone DMFL stands for Double Minutes for Life or Unlimited Double Minutes. If you have this on your phone any time you add minutes you will get twice as many minutes as stated on the card. It normally is not transferable to another phone. When they first came out these cards were $50. Now a lot of phones come with DMFL already installed. They are currently available for $20 at Tracfone.com. I do not recommend adding minutes to a phone that does not have DMFL.

Tracfone Prepaid Annual Mobile Plans

Tracfone has two yearly plans to select from.

$100 Tracfone Annual Plan

They market a $100 annual unit card that you receive Four hundred minutes (800 using DMFL). This unit card frequently has bonus codes available which will in most cases allow you to get an additional 200 to 400 minutes. Check for the most recent Tracfone Bonus Codes.

The $200 Tracfone Annual Plan

The $200 yearly Tracfone plan is the best deal in pre-paid phones. No other Prepaid phone company provides twelve months of service to use the phone with the low per minute charge of 6.6 cents a minute with DMFL.

What is Unlimited DMFL

Tracfone Wireless DMFL is Double Minutes for life of your phone. With DMFL you will receive twice the units that are stated on the Tracfone Unit Card. This will work for as long as you use your cellphone. In the event you permit your service to lapse the Double minutes for life will continue to work when you reactivate your cell phone. I do not recommend ever adding units on a Tracfone that does not have Double minutes installed on the phone. Adding two DMFL cards will not get quadruple minutes.

Buy the Tracfone.com $200 Yearly plan and get one year of service and 3,000 minutes with DMFL. Please be sure you have DMFL installed Before adding the $200 card.

Summary The Plan I would Buy Depends on My Usage

I would choose the Tracfone.com plan. I do not use a lot of minutes and my favorite plan is the $200 3,000 minute plan from Tracfone. My usage is all over the map, some months I don’t use more than a hundred minutes and some months I will use four or five hundred. I am almost always around a land line to talk on so my cell phone is more for messages. This changes my Straight Talk Wireless vs Tracfone Prepaid strategies.

If I used all of my 3,000 minutes in seven months it would be the same as me buying the $30 Straight Talk cards every month. Seven months at $30 equals $210. If I am able to stretch the 3,000 minute Tracfone plan for more than seven months I am getting cheaper cell phone service.

The magic number is 428 minutes a month. 3,000 minutes/ 7 months= 428 minutes per month. If you average over that you are better off spending the $30 a month for the Straight Talk Plan.

Compare Straight Talk and Tracfone Summary Two

If you are using just a few minutes a month Tracfone is great, you can keep your service active for less than $7 a month. If you use 400 minutes a month you can purchase the $200 1,500 minute card and get 3,000 minutes with DMFL. This will cost you less than $30 a month. If you use over 400 (428) minutes a month purchase the $30 a month 1,000 Straight Talk Plan or $45 a month unlimited plan.

Happy Calling

Straight Talk is a new partnership between Verizon, Tracfone and Walmart. The phones range from a basic phone for $60 with a $30 phone card to a pretty nice Smart phone that runs just over $300. I recently bought the Samsung R451c for $130 which included a $30 “All You Need” phone card.

This setup was good for one month of service, 1000 minutes, 1000 texts, and 30 mb of web browsing. That is quite a bit of browsing on the little screen of this phone.
