Tracfone - $39.99 Basic Phone Card - White

Q: So, how does this work? Do I pay for 60 minutes that will last for as long as it takes for me to use them or is there some time limit in which the minutes have to be used before expiring?

A: No, you do not have forever to use the 60 minutes. The 60 minute card gives you 90 days of phone service. If you reach your 90 days, and you don't buy another card, the remaining minutes will disappear as well as your cell service. The main thing with TracFone is that you're buying their air service. If you continue to replenish your airtime, all unused minutes will automatically carry-over. They have numerous card combinations available with a selection of minutes and air time. If this sounds a bit too confusing, google tracfone for their explanation. The program has served me well since my usage is low and don't want to pay the rates charged by Verison, ATT, etc in order to have cell & internet capability. But, on the other hand, I don't have coverage outside of the U.S. I've been using this system for many, many years and currently have 2,700 minutes to use. Doubt I'll ever use them, but that's the way they carry-over. Hope this helped.

Q: Can I buy a phone card today and wait several months to use it? I have two more months on the card I have now, but BestBuy is not that close and I need to go there for something else. So ideally I'd like to buy the card and wait to use it.

A: The service airtime cards do not expire. So yes, you can add them when you need to. Just remember to add them before you current service date ends. If you have a smartphone you can buy service airtime cards/plans directly from your phone. Saving a trip to the store. Hope this helps.

Q: Are minutes subtracted from the card for incoming calls or just outgoing?

A: Yes, the minutes are subtracted from in coming as well as out going calls. Same with texts.

Q: Does this rollover if not used? Thank you

A: Hi. This is Cristy from TracFone Wireless. Yes. When a new card is added to your phone, any existing balance of minutes rolls over. Unused airtime will not expire if deactivated service is reactivated within 60 days of the deactivation date.

Q: So, for every 90 days, does the service cost $19.99 or is that a separate cost?

A: Not a separate cost. You just buy an airtime service card of your choice by your service end date. This keeps your service active. They have a card for 30 minutes for $9.99 but you only get 30 days. Tracfone has many plans for any needs. Hope this helps.

Q: If my service becomes inactive can I still use the device for wifi use

A: YES! You can! And its free and unlimited......

Q: Does the basic card work on the smart phones if will only be used for talk and text only

A: Hi. This is Janet from TracFone Wireless, Yes. The basic plans will work when refilled to a Smartphone.

Q: Will this work with my old Samsung SM-J727A? It’s an unlocked Att issued Samsung J7

A: Hi. This is Cristy from TracFone Wireless. Yes, this will work to your Samsung J7 device. Aside from purchasing and redeeming this plan, you will also need to have the TracFone Bring Your Own Phone (BYOP) SIM Kit to active your phone. For more information, you can text the word BYOP to 611611. Thank you.
