Buying a Tracfone without Unlimited Double Minutes –Mistake  1
The Unlimited Double Minutes Tracfone will always get you double
the minutes listed on the Tracfone minute card. You can get a new Tracfone with DMFL for as little as $19.99, do not buy or use a phone without DMFL.

Adding minutes to a Tracfone without DMFL–Mistake 2
Unless you use less than 20 minutes per month it is much cheaper to use your Tracfone if it has DMFL. Never add minutes without using a DMFL card.

Not using Tracfone Bonus Codes –Mistake 3
It is simple to use Tracfone Bonus codes when you add a minute card to your phone and you will receive between 20 and 200 minutes extra depending on the Promo code you use.    Go to Tracfone Bonus Codes.  The Tracfone Bonus code will always have 5 digits.

Buying a DMFL card –Mistake 4
I do not recommend buying an Unlimited Doubler card for your phone. You can usually purchase a new Tracfone with the DMFL installed for less than buying the DMFL card.  It is not so bad anymore to buy a DMFL card, they used to be $50 and you could buy a DMFL phone for $30.  Now the card is $20.

Buying $20 TracFone Cards if you talk a lot. –Mistake 5
It is always cheaper per minute to purchase larger denomination Tracfone cards.  The lowest cost per minute currently is the the $80 four hundred fifty minute card.  This comes to 8.88 cents per minute if you have a Unlimited Doubler phone card.  If you use Promo codes you will get the minutes even cheaper.

Buying the Tracfone Extended Warranty –Mistake 6
The Extended Warranty for your Tracfone costs $20 per year and is not a good value costs for the Extended warranty is a waste.  My experience with Tracfone phone problems has been resolved by Tracfone sending me a new phone without having the warranty.  The Tracfone phones are cheap enough that the warranty is not a good value.

Buying Tracfone Codes from eBay –Mistake 7
All the codes you can buy from eBay for $3 or whatever you can find at this Tracfone Bonus Codes page.

Still using a Tracfone without DMFL? –Mistake 8
Several phones are available with Unlimited Double Mintes: LG 225 , Motorola W370 with DMFL, Motorola W376g Bluetooth With DMFL, Lg 600g Bluetooth with DMFL, Samsung T301 Slider.

There are two Tracfone airtime codes.
One is a 15 digit number.  You will always have to pay for these codes.  The 15 digit code will be on a Tracfone Minute Card.  It will be on the back of the card and under a scratch off. This is much like the number on Lottery ticket.

The Free Tracfone Airtime Code
The free code will be a 5 digit bonus code. This is the bonus code you will put in as you are putting in the 15 digit code. This will add from 20 to 350 free minutes to your Tracfone. There are several places to get them. The best place I have found to get Free Tracfone Airtime Codes.

Always use Free Tracfone airtime codes.  Otherwise you are paying too much.  It is very easy as you are putting in your 15 digit code to add the 5 digit code.

Some Bonus Codes Only Work Once
Many of the bonus codes will only work once on a particular phone. Some will only work once per two months. Tracfone does not disclose much information about the codes when they release them so after you have used a code on your phone it is trial and error to see if a code will work again.

What is DMFL
DMFL stands for Double MInutes for lIfe on a phone.  When your phone has this you will always get twice the number of minutes that is stated on the phone card.  To convert any phone to DMFL will cost about $50 but you can often purchase a DMFL phone for $20.

Buy the Tracfone Cards that come with a free DMFL Phone
At Tracfone.com you can purchase phone cards that come with a free phone.  A couple of these cards come with a DMFL phone.  These are always the best deal.  I do not recommend buying or adding minutes to a Tracfone that is not a DMFL phone.

Buy Two Free Tracfones
I have always recommended buying two DMFL phones at a time.

The Free Tracfone Phone deals will always offer you a good phone for free if you purchase a high unit or yearly Tracfone card.

I recommend buying two at a time.

1. This gives you a spare battery.
2. Spare Battery charger.
3. Spare Phone  if your phone gets wet or something you have a spare phone that you are already familiar with.
4. Spare card to add when you run out of service time or minutes
5. Sometimes buying two at a time will save you paying for shipping.

It is nice to have a spare charger to use in your car or at the office. Charge up the extra battery and put it in your car or purse is also handy.
