You can buy a pay as you go phone at Wal Mart for around $30. As long
as they don't use it much it will not cost too much. The phone card
you buy to load minute onto the phone expires at some point after it

within that time frame they will expire.

Good luck,

I don't like that. If I keep a cell phone in the glove box of my
truck, it expires, I have an emergency, then what? Do Tracfones
expire too?

It's a combination of minutes and the expiration date. With $100, you get
about 400 minutes that will expire in one year.

This increases often. I first got a Tracfone in 2000 and it was 100
minutes then.

For a little extra you
have it set up so that for the life of the phone, you'll get double
minutes.


I seem to remember $50. Of course "for line" refers to the life of
that phone, which should be a lot less than your life.

I bought my Tracfone around 2002 or 2003. I've had great phone service.
