A: Hi. This is Arianne from TracFone Wireless. Yes, you absolutely can buy minutes, texts, and data as you go with the Tracfone BLU Flex 8GB instead of a monthly plan. Whether it's cheaper in the long run depends on your usage. Monthly plans often offer more value if you use your phone regularly. To buy minutes once you have the phone, you can visit our website, use the Tracfone My Account App, purchase prepaid cards from retailers, or call our customer service. For further questions, send us a private message on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter. Thank you.
A: Hello. This is Joel from TracFone Wireless. Regarding your concern, no. The 8GB is the internal storage of the device. Which means, you have to purchase a plan for the phone to be activated. To better assist you, kindly contact us via this chat link https://www.tracfone.com/support/contactus. For your convenience, our representatives are available Monday-Sunday from 8:00 AM to 11:45 PM EST. You can also use our self-service menu by simply texting the word HELP to 611611.
A: Yes, you can use the phone for one month because you can pay month-by-month. Check out tracfone website to see costs. But I don't suggest getting this phone unless the person wants NOTHING MORE than the ability to dial a number and speak to someone on the other side. Otherwise, get the BLU smart phone. You can access internet (maps, directions, and all the other things a visitor might want or need). Or bring along (or borrow) an older unlocked phone and pick up a SIM card

Simple phone for elders
For a simple tracfone, it's fine. For someone who just needs a phone to call and not do anything else. (Like my 95-yr-old mother). Just like with other flip phones, texting is not fun, but it is easier to do with the BLU than with others. (Mom doesn't text, but putting in the contacts via keyboard is a pain).

Exactly what we needed!
The flip phone is perfect for my elderly parent. It’s easy to use, although texting is time consuming. If the main user doesn’t text (like mine), that is no concern. Great customer service and quick set up, too!
