I searched and didn't find a definitive answer on this topic. I know how to port a number to tracfone. However say, for instance, I have a postpaid plan that the contract is up and I want to find something else. In the meantime I don't want the postpaid plan anymore and want to park my number. So,...
Anyone know why the Motorola phones are gone from Net10's website? I was considering one Monday of this week and now they're gone. Thanks !
I've searched the forums and could not find this particular scenario addressed. I'll try to phrase this as succinctly as possible... I've had a Nokia 1100 w/AT&T SIM for 3.5 years. Great reliable cheap cell phone. I added a DMFL card to it a year or two ago. No need to retire it...only...
My phone expired yesterday and instead of adding service days I just wanted to port the number to a VA phone. (TF is just a place to park this number) I used the guide at http://www.thejmart.com/port.htm and it still did not port? The new phone tells me to activate at tracfone.com and the ticket...
I'm a long time tracfone user. I recently upgraded my Tracfone to the LG 420G phone. Since I was not able to find any reviews of the LG 420G before I purchased it, I will provide a brief review here and maybe it will be helpful to others. First, some corrections to errors and omissions in the...
I have had a Safelink phone for 4 months and it gave me 60 min. a month this month it gave me 200 min anyone else get this?
Hello, I think it was this website someone published a site that you can type your cell phone number into and find out who the carrier/provider behind your MVNO, in this case tracfone. I tried googling it, but so far all i have come up with is junk sites. I think someone here knows a...
I have a LG 420g and am able to transfer files between my PC and the phone using OBEX. In one of the thread here, I thought someone mentioned they can transfer contact information as well. Can anyone confirm contact info can be transferred? If so, how?
I never see Net10's LG100C in retail stores. It's on Net10's website & K-Mart's website but nowhere I've seen on the retail rack. My daughter has one from another carrier and it's a better device than the Net10 LG candy bars normally seen for sale.
Can anyone with the experience do a brief comparison of these two TF handsets? I have experience with the LG 600 and think it it a really nice phone, but don't know anything about the newer 420, as I'm waiting for Patrick's review, which should come out soon.
I have an LG225. I am trying to e-mail a picture that I have on the LG225 to my e-mail address. I have talked to Tracfone support and contacted technical support via e-mail. The instructions that they have provided do not work. Has anyone had success using e-mail from their LG225? Thanks for...
I was just checking out phone prices in a store I'd never been to, and noticed this "Senior Value" blister pack containing an LG 220C, which was obviously a TracFone product. It was hanging right next to a TracFone LG 220C, but the Senior-aimed phone was $5 more ($19.95). What does this offer for...
Recently bought a second-hand Motorola W375g (foolish, I know now, but apparently I have registered it successfully with a clean ownership according to CS). I like it better than my existing Samsung T201g, so I'd like to transfer number & minutes from the T201 to the W375. Another appeal is that...
The LG 420g I bought comes with a quick start guide. Is there a document with more details for the phone? Couple of things I need the manual for: 1) Shortcuts (menu-> 9 -> 2 -> 2). After one or more shortcuts are set, how does one invoke them? 2) Can I re-program the message key (the one above...
Is it possible to get a Net10 CDMA phone from Net10 to use in an area with good GSM coverage ? (I searched and read before posting.) On the Net10 site you can enter a fake zip but you'd have to correct it to get it sent to your true address. And if you got it in your hands, would Net10 allow its...
I switched to Virgin Mobile and am parting with our families Tracfones and Net 10 phones. All have legit airtime, minutes etc. Here are my situations. I want to give my phones to a couple of people I know who will use them. 1. My LG600 I activated on Net 10 for a few days until I was ready...
I have a few phones in my posession that I've accumulated thru bundle purchases...How do I go about setting a friend or family member up with a TF account? I expect the recon fone is somehow registered to me and I'd like to set a friend up with his own account. How do I go about taking my name off...
I have a 3 1/2 lb chihuahua that has the lg 3280 it is I think the only tracfone that has auto answer. I call that phone when I am running late from work initially to hear what was going on at home. then she started answering it, she would bark into the phone and when I would kiss her on the...
I have a pile of used up phones. It isn't worth to sell them because you only get a few dollars at the most. I do know about phones for troops. Other than that nothing. I wouldn't mind unlocking the Samsung slider phone, and being able to add a Straight talk card. I'm sure If I checked I...
Once again I tried transferring my existing net10 phone number and minutes to a new net10 phone, and it didn't work again. The original phone is stuck with the minutes I had on it that never transfered. But I can't use this phone now because it's "emergency only". The new phone which was...
Hi! Need some help or advice on what I'm thinking of doing for my mom... I'm planning on ordering a tracfone on the internet for my mom who lives in Toledo, Ohio. I'll use this zip code, 43614 to order the phone, but have it ship to me in Marietta, Ohio. I was going to activiate it in...
:2thumbs: Tracfone is now offering an Samsung T155g handset in Lake County, Florida. It is offered in two different packages. A bundle in a standard bundle box and a new packaging which is White with gold trim and is called the Senior Value package. Both the bundle and Senior Value package have a...
Has anyone been able to create their own ringtones and graphics and send them to their TF LG220c via bluetooth? None of the sites I've tried will work. TracFone doesn't have anything I'm interested in. I'd like to make my own. If it doesn't work, I won't waste my money on a bluetooth usb...
So, the LG 420g is a mystery phone specially labeled for Tracfone, does not appear on the LG website, no manual with power specs is available anywhere, nor any accessories...even Tracfone does not sell a car charger for this model...at least not one they guarantee would work. I haven't been able...

How does tracfone decide what brand of fones they get; i would like to see the nokias return and more motorolas.
I've got a Nokia 1112 GSM phone from the Twin Cities (55104) that I've been using in Montana (59715 and elsewhere) for the past two years without problem. Perhaps I'm getting charged a little more on calls - not sure - but it's really only used for travelling and emergency, and off the rest of the...
:disappoin Did anyone see the Tracfone Infomercial last night, offering the LG420G bundle, including DMFL, at Walmart, for $19.95, while supplies last. I called the Walmart at Mount Dora, Florida and was told the bundle was not in stock. If anyone finds the bundle in another Walmart please post the...
I emailed TF regarding turning VM and Browser off. As per your request, we have already reset the voicemail feature of your phone. If you do not call in to set up your voicemail once it has been reset, all incoming calls will not have the option to leave a voicemail message for you. Also,...
Caller leaves a voice message on your Tracfone number. How long does it take for the message to arrive on your Tracfone? If Tracfone is off? If Tracfone is on?
was wondering it was possible to tether phone for interet since it comes a data setup? thankyou computerhead
I just noticed this on the Tracfone website (It may have been there before and I just didn't pay attention) PowerPlus Card 1500 MINUTES & 365 DAYS OF SERVICE EXCLUSIVE only $199.99 So, if the minutes double on a DMFL phone, you get 3000 minutes (about 6.7 cents a minutes) and a year of...
Taken by the same friend in PA that took the pic of the ST T-401G. Found at K-Mart.
As far as I can tell, they're pretty much the same with the exception of two features - camera & file transfer. The 290C has a 1.3mp camera vs the 420G .3mp. Advantage 290C. File transfer via Bluetooth is fully enabled on the 420G vs having to jump through hoops (although ultimately...
My LG3280 got very wet. I immediately took battery out. Tried to get all water out of phone. But got home and turned on and got zero on screen and a buzzing sound. Took battery out again. Let all air dry for one day. And low and behold. All works properly now. But, I ordered the...
I missed my Tracfone renew date by one day and am wondering if it is still possible to renew my contract by applying a new 60 min card to the phone over the internet? Or is it too late and I would have to call them and get a new sim card mailed to me? Thanks for any help.
I have a web server on which I can check the access logs. When I browse to it using the browser in my LG 420G phone, the following info is logged: LG-LG420G Obigo/WAP2.0 Profile/MIDP-2.1 Configuration/CLDC-1.1 I've obscured some of the info, but the xxxx part is my IMEI, the yyyy part is...
Its a $19.99 phone WITHOUT DMFL. It does mention Bluetooth and also web access. Link to GSM5AT market: http://www.tracfone-orders.com/bpdirect/tracfone/Start.do?action=view&market=GSM5AT
Samsung 301g has worked perfectly since April, 2010. Just this week it has developed 2 problems, both to do with texting: 1. When I receive a text (email) generated from a computer, the phone charges a minimum of .9 mins (all the way up to 1.5 min) 2. The phone does not remember the AT&T...
Tracfone is offering a reconditioned LG 3280 with DMFL for $24.95 on their website. Several TF users have commented that this is "the best" CDMA phone available from TF. This might be a good choice if you are limited to US Cellular, Verizon, or Altel because of poor GSM coverage in your area....
