Tracfone Vs Net10

Security Cell Phone for your school child.

If you are looking to buy a Tracfone Security cell phone for your school child or a grandparent or someone here are the best ideas I have for you.

#1 Basic Net10 wireless phones are also a great value if you are looking for a Net10 Prepaid Security Phone. The Samsung T201g with the $20 phone card is the very best deal available. For $20 you will get 500 minutes or 1000 texts and 3 months of service. If the T201g is not available in your zip code the LG 220c is a very nice phone for $30.  

Be sure to buy the Net10 cell phone that comes with a Phone card. They will have a picture of the phone and phone card together. These are a much better deal with the extra phone card included.

#2 Basic Tracfone with Double Minutes for Life(DMFL). You can purchase a Trafone with DMFL for $19.99 right now. Do not purchase a Tracfone that does not have Double Minutes for life already included.

Good choices right now would be the Net10 LG 220c flip phone for $19.99 with DMFL, Motorola W376g with 60 minute card and DMFL for $19.99 and the LG 420G with DMFL. The Net10 Samsung T301g slider phone is a good durable phone also, your kids may feel it is a cooler phone. The 401G slider is available with a phone card and DMFL for $19.99.

NET10 VS Tracfone

With both Net10 Prepaid and Tracfone wireless you must add phone cards to your phone to keep it active. You must have minutes left and service time left for your phone to work. With most Tracfone cards you get 90 days of service per card. With Net10 prepaid you normally get 60 days of service and 300 minutes with the $30 card and only 30 days of service and 200 minutes with the $20 card.

Tracfone

All Tracfone and Net10 cell phones have caller ID.

The inexpensive Tracfones and Net10 cell phones usually will only need to be charged once a week unless you are using them a lot.

The more expensive Tracfone cards give you more minutes per dollar. As I stated earlier do not buy a Tracfone that does not have DMFL.

If your phone does not have DMFL you will pay twice as much per minute when you add any of these cards. You can purchase DMFL for your phone for $19.99 but I would just buy a new phone with DMFL included for $19.99.

What is Tracfone DMFL

Tracfone has two pricing plans. Some phones come with Double Minutes for Life which means that whenever you add a Tracfone phone card you will get twice as many minutes as are stated on the card. DMFL is normally not transferable to another non-DMFL phone. You can add DMFL to any Tracfone for $19.99 at Tracfone.com.
