Tracfone Prepaid Double Minutes for Life (DMFL)

The newest Double Minutes for Life Card is available from Tracfone for $20. Initially this card was $50 to purchase and not one of the mobile handsets came with DMFL. Then after about a year the phones that Tracfone prepaid sold for $79.99 and up included Double Minutes for Life.

The Double Minutes for Life card provides you with twice the amount of minutes on your phone as the unit card states. So the $20 60 unit Tracfone card will actually put in One-hundred-twenty minutes on your cell phone. This gets the Tracfone Minutes down close to Ten cents a minute which makes them competitively priced.

Do Not Purchase a DMFL Card

In case your Tracfone does not have Double Minutes for Life on it you are better off to buy a new Tracfone prepaid cell phone with DMFL than to pay $20 for a Double Minutes for Life card. In most cases you are able to purchase a different Tracfone with DMFL for the same price or less than the price of a DMFL card.

Do Not Purchase a Tracfone

Do not purchase a Tracfone phone which does not have Double Minutes for Life already installed. It is less expensive to purchase a Net 10 Cellular phone than to buy a regular Track Phone and install a DMFL card. When you compare purchasing a Tracfone to buying a Net 10 Cellular phone remember to subtract $30 from the cost of the Net10 prepaid cell phone since it comes with 300 minutes and the Tracfone phone does not.

The Double Minutes for Life program brings the purchase price of the units to about what you will pay with Net ten prepay.

Half Price Text Messages

Your texting will cost half with DMFL additionally. Most Tracfones charge .3 units per text message both to receive and send out. When you buy your tracphone minutes with DMFL your texts will be half price also. Some Tracfone models charge .5 units in and out.

How Straight Talk Prepay Works

Straight Talk, Tracfone and Net10 LG 200c and Samsung R451c Phones

The Straight Talk Wireless Prepaid programs are built to compete with 2 year contract phone plans. A long term contract cell phone plan will require you to sign a one year or two year post paid to get service. Straight Talk Prepay is prepaid so you have to pay for your service prior to using it and if you use all your minutes or the time period expires you lose service. You will not have a termination fee and if you want to restart service just as before you may buy a Tracfone Straight Talk cellphone card and reactivate your cellular.

Straight Talk Wireless Prepay is a joint venture with Walmart, Tracfone prepay and Verizon Wireless. All phones are CDMA and work on the Verizon Wireless network.
