I have had a tracfone since 2003 and it has served me well. I started buying the year contract a couple of years ago. Last year it was 139.00 for 250 minutes but because of specials they will give you more minutes usually double. This year the price went down to $99.99 for 250 minutes plus 250 bonus minutes for the year's contract. My phone is basically an emergency or per need phone. I don't think about calling people when I'm out. i usually can take care of those calls when I come home.

I figured out that my phone including the cost of the phone has cost me $7.76 per month. No contracts. The other pro to buying the contract is that you don't have to renew every two months and don't have to worry about losing your phone number. This works well for me.
