A:Answer Mine was bought under the TracFone section of Best Buy. There is another phone carrier (don't remember the name off the top of my head), that sells the same make/model phone, but at a higher price. I am not familiar with their service, I have been with TracFone for about 5 years or so, so I went with what I know and the better price. WIth that said, I purchase a 365day plan, which I believe included 1500 minutes, 1500 text, and 1.5GB of data for about $110. It is for emergencies for my son when he goes to work, so I bought a plan that provides for a year's worth of activated service, you can always add minutes for an additional price. Hope this helps!
