Tracfone - Best way to get cheap minutes
The Tracfone pre-paid cell phone system is fantastic for those of us who are not lemmings. Those of us who stand above the teeming millions and their idiotic cell phone contracts. Those of us who actually enjoy life and don't feel the need to call their friends to tell them that they are standing in line at an ATM.
Using Tracfone, I pay about $40 a year for cell phone service. You can too. But you already know all this. You are a fellow Tracfone user. You just want to find out how to buy the cheapest minutes possible. Well calm down my furry little friend. Here is what you do...
First, do NOT buy a Tracfone pre-paid minutes card at Wal-Mart or any other retail store. Put it down and back away from the counter. Have a little patience. Jeez. Go home, get on the frickin' interweb and go to www.tracfone.com and do the following. Buy a new phone from Tracfone.
"But I already have a Tracfone", says you. "No worries, my feathered friend.", says I. Go to the "Buy a phone" section of the website and purchase the deal that offers you a Motorola C139 with 2 60-minute cards for $19.99.
See? Why would you pay $20 at Wal-Mart for a 60 minute card when you can get two for the same price? You learn quick! But avast, we are not done yet and you may lay to that!
Wait a couple of days for your shiny new phone and two 60-minute cards to arrive. Upon arrival, examine your beautiful new cellular phone for a few minutes. Now throw it in the trash. Who the frick cares about the phone? It's the booty we be after! Two 60-minute cards be Tracfone gold!
Now activate one of the 60-minute cards and magically transform it into a 120-minute card. "What you say?" "Someone set up us the bomb", I say. It is true my little munchkin. Little did you know that you actually received 240 minutes and a free phone with that measly little $20 purchase!
Go to www.tracfone.com and go through the process of adding air time to your existing phone. When you see the option to enter a Promo Code, enter this:
51283
*** NOTE NEW CODE ***
53784
This little number will transform your 60-minute card into a 140-minute card and give you 90 days of service. Now do it again with the second card. Violin! You've done it!
You've just received 240 minutes and 6 months of service for $20. Good job. Isn't it great to sit in the tree and watch the lemmings fall off the cliff?
When I bought my cell, one promo code was offered to me. By the time it got to me, that one was no longer being accepted. I was able to search their site and find another promo code for the same deal, though. :-)
My tracphone expired last Friday. It slipped my mind and I didn't renew. I wonder if I can still pop more minutes into it.

sometimes they get the phone to work, but it seems as soon
as they leave the line it goes back to "searching{ or no service"
or {emergency only" = no phone for over a month to use. Have
pur'd more minutes - what am I to do? Could it be the phone.
It accepts the codes they keep giving me. HELP> I need an
expert.
GOOD UNTIL 01/18/08 AND 01/21/08. WHAT HELP IS THAT?
and thats the truth......silly,if not outright stupid
if you go any other way..................
advertise it, and when you try to use it,they tell you it's
expired....they need to update thier website with exp.dates
on their offers,so as not to false advertise....and fool us....
i personally dont like being fooled or lied to.
