QuestionDo you have a plan where the minutes never expire if you don't use them? We need an emergency phone only. thank you
Asked 7 years ago by sf2018.
- Answer Minutes on my basic phone do not expire. Service time does. Best value is usually 60 minute, 90 day card for $19.99. 60 min becomes 120 with double minutes, plus promo cod offers up to 60 bonus min. I just purchased 5 of these cards online, used a bonus 60 promo code and got 450 service days, 300 units plus 360 bonus.

QuestionHow many minutes can I get
Asked 7 years ago by Coco.
- Answer You can get as many minutes as you need, or as little as you need. I got this phone for my grandma as an emergency phone, and TracFone is the only service that I could find that had a plan that lasted 365 days (a year). It only gives you 400 minutes/texts/mb of data, but for an emergency phone the most important part was having the service plan last a year. But they also have much larger monthly plans to give you as much time as you need.
