Tracfone - No Contracts + No Monthly Bills = No Worries
A cell phone these days is a necessity if for emergencies alone. A while back before I had a cell phone I thought it wasn’t necessary at all. I had friends telling me you need to have one even if you just use it for emergencies. I didn’t listen until I had an emergency and found myself without a phone. I was coming home late from work one evening waiting for a bus when someone followed me. No matter where I walked or moved to get away from him he would follow and stand right next to me. Long story short I found my way to a restaurant where the owners scared him off and I was able to get home. That experience scared me into buying a cell phone.
I didn’t want any monthly contracts or bills. I just wanted something I could add minutes to when needed and use it for emergencies. I did much research and found Tracfone. What I liked about it was the simplicity. I ordered the phone online and it came with detailed instructions and everything I needed to get started.
I did not have to sign any contracts, I don’t have monthly bills and I just add minutes online when I need them. You can also buy minute cards at some retailers though I like doing it online.
This particular phone is very sleek and stylish and has all the bells and whistles you need these days. These phones are also great for teenagers, I bought my nephew one because there aren’t any monthly bills. They cannot rack up any charges. You simply buy the minutes when you need them.
I wanted to share this with you today because I think cell phones are important especially for emergencies so if you don’t have one check this out.
Hi Jo,
I am with you on no monthly phone bills. My cell is a Go Phone and I have no bill, just refill as needed. It works for me.

I have a tracphone. I also search online for promo codes to double my minutes when I buy my minutes online. I pay less than $5 a month for my tracphone minutes.
I have a tracfone too. I pay about $7 a month. I love it!
I do the same thing as jans and search for the promo codes to get double minutes.
Hi there, btw did you ever get my comments. I tried commenting and I’m not sure it worked.
Tracfone has pretty good signals. The other night I was at a restaurant with friends and my phone was the only one with a signal so everyone had to use mine and eat up all those minutes. As for texting, I don’t text because it takes me so long to do that it’s easier to just call the person. However you can text and it works the same as minutes. Thanks for dropping by.
