This is correct. Tracfone is only for light users. With Google Hangouts and WiFi, one can still can get a lot done with this plan.

All depends on your usage. personally I use most of my data on wifi so I would rather have 3 GB to use over a year instead of 250 mb a month where I might only use 100 mb one month and the next I need 1 GB for traveling.

I already have tracfone so I can just pound this card on top of what I already have with no cons correct? I do have triple minutes will I lose that advantage if I add this card. It says "this card won't triple".
The way I read the ad is it doesn't come with a separate card for the minutes but instead you get a sim card with activation code that when activated the minutes/text/data are added to the new line . You can transfer your existing Tracfone number to combine minutes/text/data but not the expiration part. (years ago you could but don't believe it is possible now)

for example current line has 600 minutes that expire in six months. After transferring you would have 1800 minutes that expire in 12 months not in 18 months however I did this about 3 years ago and somehow my minutes were set to expire in 2031 so you might get lucky.

I am assuming we lose existing minutes, text and data if we add this to existing line?
​No. Your minutes/txt and data will get rolled over.

From my experience at least, everything including minutes, texts, data and service time will get added on top of what you have. So if you already have a service expiration date of 5/17/19, this card will extend it to 5/17/2020.

You might be correct been awhile since I did this. I might have it backwards where you cant activate this line and then transfer the service date to your current account.

There are wifi options to phone people from where wifi is available. So you can phone as much as you want. Use data from wifi etc.

So in reality this works for a lot of people. Like sometimes couples will have one phone unlimited and the other just used to connect the two while shopping or whatever.

The data is nearly triple what they used to do. 1.2 GB.

Also this is a good price. Before had to buy a phone to get 1200 minutes and a year for perhaps as low as $40 but usually $60 or more.

Looks like the normal price will be $60 and this is a sale price. The sims are a dollar and it must cost them more than that to ship them.

Don't know how this is beating RP at their own game. Red Pocket's basic plan gives you 500mb per month.

Good price.

As to the phone you can get a Samsung S7 for under $90 on ebay. If it has a spot or line on the display for $40 or so. 32 GB data and 4 GB Ram and a very decent camera. The Active is good if you want a strong phone and the battery is a bit larger. AT&T unlocked.

Edit. Used. Not new.

Edit 2: Unlimited carryover. So you get this added to your plan if you have it. You will just need an unlocked phone for the sim card.

Agreed that Red Pocket lowest plan is generally better at $5/mth since it works out to 500MB data per month vs $4.17 for 250MB, but the Tracfone cheapie could possibly work out better since as I understand it the data/minutes/texts don't reset every month so if real low needs most months due to wifi options, you can still splurge once or twice a year while traveling or whatever.
