LG 800G comes with 1200 minutes? How do you get them?

**mykem** · 05-18-2012, 06:17 PM

I found a seller (not Tracfone itself} who's selling the LG 800G at a decent price. Seller says it comes with 1200 minutes.

How can they do this? Do they ship a a 400 Minute/1 Year of service card (400 X 3 + 1200 minutes) along with the LG 800G?

Or is done some other way?

Thanks

It is done in several different ways. It depends on the seller. Sometimes you get a regular card, sometimes you get a pin that is locked to that phone's serial number, sometimes it is something else. Ask the seller.

Is it shopcelldeals on ebay/amazon? Very reliable seller.

Seems like I read about a seller in a different thread here making that offer. Doesn't mean it's new. He might have just applied that many refill cards to get a balance like that.

Yes, very good. I have bought several phones from them.

They maintain a thread here in the HoFo > Tracfone/Net10 forum

No, the seller is shopcelldeals and he explains in the listing how the minutes are applied.

The LG800 he sells is TMFL so it wouldn't be multiple refill cards. It would be one 400 minute card or a pin. It can be figured out from the ebay listing.

Actually I just posted on this a little while ago asking how to use up the 1212 minutes i left.

My father actually bought it from HSN and they gave him a 400 minute card with 1 year and triple minutes for the life of the LG 800 phone. That's what gave him 1200 minutes plus whatever from Tracfone themselves. By the way, not thrilled with the phone itself.

The OP said the seller is shopcelldeals on ebay. See post #4.

It is ebay Item number: 140739466464.

And graveboss, if your father isn't thrilled with the LG 800, he hasn't tried any of the other Tracfones.

By the way, what version of the software is on the phone? Is it Vers 10d, 10e or 10f?

Menu (blue die) > Settings > Phone > Information > Device Information > S/W Version

Does anybody know what the difference is between the versions? I assume "e" was a fix for the texting problem.

Actually in the second paragraph, I was answering the OP on how they could get 1200 minutes, not anything else.

S/W Version: V10e, but why is that important? Keep in mind that I (myself) haven't used Tracfone in 10 years and I didn't use my fathers Tracfone at all.

He wasn't thrilled with any of them that he looked at. But he just wanted a cellphone for very light voice use. Now of course he has changed over to AT&T GoPhone.
