I have this phone, or the predecessor?   Yes, the carrier is TracFone. For $100, plus tax, you get 1000 minutes for 365 days.  You need to buy the lousy phone, but it&#x27;s cheap.<p>It&#x27;s fine if you just want a cheap phone.  I only use it for calls, because that&#x27;s all I&#x27;ve been able to do with the phone.  So, even though it has Internet access; I haven&#x27;t got it to work.<p>Oh yea, you need to unlock the screen whenever you call, and the touch screen software has a bug in it.  It&#x27;s hit it miss if you can access the answer button.<p>That said, if you don&#x27;t have much money, or hate paying huge monthly bills--this phone plan is fine.  The phone is chitty.    I have a iPhone 4, and an android I use at home.  Both are not with a carrier, but work for my needs.<p>Will I buy another year&#x27;s worth of minutes--maybe?  I like not paying a monthly phone bill to some company that I really never cared about, and only frustrated me, for years, with their rediculious billing practices.
