Tracfone’s Double Minutes for Life is an AWESOME deal if you plan to keep your Tracfone for an extended period of time AND you have a new phone.
The way the DMFL promotion works is you purchase the Double Minutes card for $49.99 or the $139.99 card which adds 1 year of service and 800 minutes of airtime. After purchasing either of these cards you will receive double minutes on ANY future minutes you add to that phone. The catch is that if you switch phones, you will need to add another “double your minutes” card.
If your using less that $20 or plan on changing to the newest phone later on, you won’t realize any savings by switching to the double minutes, but for the heavy talkers this could save quite a bit of money when compared to Virgin Mobile’s pay-per-minute plans. If your hesitant of this promotion, and are spending over $20 a month and happy with your current phone, you should go for it

The Comparison to Virgin Mobile is simply not true. Even with double minutes, Tracfone still gives you fewer minutes for the same purchasing dollar.
Examples:
$20 Purchase
Tracfone Double Mins: 120 Mins
Virgin Mobile: 200 Mins
$30 Purchase
Tracfone Double Mins: 240 Mins
Virgin Mobile: 400 Mins
Tell me exactly how using Tracfone double minutes “saves money compared to Virgin Mobile”.

Virgin Mobile screws people royally!! My nephew has approx $26.00 bal on his phone, but virgin mobile turned it off! they didn’t send out a notice via email, instead they sent a phone alert on the same day they changed their “plan” services, informing him that he must add additional monies to his account monthly now to continue service. They will not apply his current balance toward their new “plan” services and insist that to restore service he pay an additional $20 (min)… and that he zero his $26.00 credit by purchasing ringtones or within the next 30 days in minutes. Bulls&*( my nephew is 11 years old, he uses his phone responsibility and should not be forced to use his credit for bulls^*(&%.
lol
Additionally, he got a new phone from them! the phone had a options labeled Xtras, once he clicked to see what “Xtras” was or when he was forced to used the “Xtras” option to get the ringtone he purchased for his new phone… without notice or agreement, virgin mobile started charging him .15cent a day, for a service he never used or wanted. he just wanted his one ringtone! That’s crap, when someone buys a ringtone; they should be notified that once they download the ringtone (which wasn’t free) that they will start charging a .15cent a day to browse!! If wasn’t browsing, they shouldn’t charge! If I hadn’t checked him account, I would have never known! and if you don’t call virgin mobile, they will not stop the service and no matter what they will not refund you the money! .15cent a day, may not sound like much, to many people, but that adds up to millions of dollars for Virgin Mobile, for fees that customers never agreed to and services not rendered! Screw that!
i’m pissed, so i missed a word or whatever!! so what
