Q: QuestionI AM INTERESTED IN A "BURNER PHONE" I PLAN TO USE IT FOR EMERGENCY CALLS ONLY, THIS PHONE SHOULD LAST FOREVER' OR UNTIL THE MINUTES ARE USED UP, I DON'T WANT A PREPAID PHONE!!!. DO YOU SELL & HAVE IN STOCK SUCH A PHONE IN STOCK??????

Asked 3 years ago by JANBOOK8.

• A:Answer "Burner" phones are not like you see on TV. You can't just open the package and start using them. Prepaid phones are what is typically refered to as "burner" phones. TracFone is the best and easiest for the "emergency only" use.

Q: QuestionIf I buy this phone do I only have to pay $19.99 or do I have to pay for a plan and or internet provider and monthly bills?

Asked 3 years ago by rygirl25.

• A:Answer After buying the 19.99$ phone, you will need to purchase time for your phone. The easiest and cheapest is to go with TracFone. You will get, minutes, text, and data. Depending on which phone you choose, many of them are triple in, minutes, text, and data. And they are good for 90 days. Then you will need to add more, however any unused minutes, texts, and data will roll over when you add the next 90 day plan giving you more time for you money!

Q: Questionwhere can i buy a phone case for this phone?

Asked 3 years ago by bobitt.

• A:Answer I have had a few of these over the years and the truth is, they don't a case. The reason I only ever have had to replace them is when I lose them. I had my last one for about four months, dropped it anywhere from fifty to a hundred times in that time and it never broke the screen or really became damaged at all... flip phones are just more practical for everyday use and more durable than smartphones in every way!!!, Smartphones are GREAT "hand-held computers" but they make terrible daily use cell phones. If you d still want a case, usually if BestBuy sells the phone, they wiill sell some cases for it also...

Q: QuestionCan I track location through GPS with this phone?

Asked 3 years ago by Anon.

• A:Answer The cell system tracks it as long as it is turned on. I have never tried to access that data, I believe that you have to pay for it. However, it does have the GPS receiver that can record a latitude and longitude when you request it to do so through one of the available apps.

Q: QuestionDoes this phone work unlocked with all carriers? Does it have a mobile hotspot? If this phone doesn't apply I am looking for a flip phone with these features. Please advise thanks

Asked 3 years ago by Jg.

• A:Answer I was told by Tracfone that you can now only use a phone as a hotspot if you buy a specific $40/month plan. I had found it useful to use my flip phone (othet kind, not Alcatel myflip) as a hotspot. When it stopped working tthat way, i thought something was wrong with my phone. I asked about it on the chat and was told i can no longer use that feature of my phone. I'm unhappy with this reduction of service.

Q: QuestionCan I use my service from at&t?

Asked 3 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer No, you have to use TracFone pre-paid cards for service. I have been using it for years and customer service is great and I have never had any problems making or receiving calls. And the service is $20 a mo. unlimited talk & text plus 1gb of data. Even if you could use at&t service I don't know why you would want too... you'll only pay more for the same service you get from TracFone for half the price...
