you actually use tracphone? damn they are the most expensive prepay phone service i know of, i had 1 for 2 weeks the phone was givin to me and i said fuck this and paid for a verizon prepayed and spent much less money on my phone usage tracphone should be boycotted seriously there is absolutly no reason to use them every other company gives better features at a lower cost!
TracFone is actually the fairest prepaid provider and great for limited use and emergency phones.
- I pay $100/year for 1000 rollover minutes which comes down to < $10 / month. Texts are 33c.
- Whenever you add minutes they extend the airtime at the end of expiration time. No other prepaid provider does that. (With ATT if your due date is still 6 months out, but you add more minutes, they reset the due date to that of the value you add)
- Roaming = yes. Other prepaid providers don't roam. ATT dropped roaming for prepaid phones and requires you to use GSM now. Only calling using a GSM ATT tower is very problematic next to impossible in some areas. Whereas my CDMA TracFone roams anywhere in even the most rural areas where GSM won't come in the next 5 years, if at all.
- International calling at no extra charge!
- No credit card / credit check / SSN required.
I don't see how that's bad and don't know which provider will match it for value.
The X-Fi3 keeps with the company's commitment to audio fidelity, thanks to the apt-X codec, which supposedly offers audio quality similar to a wired connection when streaming. On that front, the device also handles FLAC files.

I have requested a couple times to have text messages turned off (due to incoming SPAM) with TracFone, but they say they are unable to do it.
I agree:
- make incoming free
and !
- make it so providers have to disable incoming TXTs upon request as well.
