Tracfone - www.tracfone.com Review

Purchased a Tracfone for US$15 for our 2 week vacation in the USA. A very useful and very cheap for phone and minutes. Got 20 minutes local and international calls with the phone and purchased another 60 minutes for US$20. International calls work very much like those cheap phone cards, you can't phone direct, you need to phone a special number, wait, follow the instructions and at the end put in the phone number you wish to call. Simple enough but a little time consuming. And it did take 24 hours before international calls were allowed. The instructions for making international calls were hard to understand until you got the hang of it.



Activating the phone is a bit of a pain!

You need to activate the phone using their website or call an activation number but on another phone as their phone isn't working yet (say "irony")



So other than tricky instructions this was a great phone. Excellent price and dirt cheap international calls.



Would/will buy another, anytime.
