It wasn't that long ago that payphones could be found near convenience stores, which made it easier to make a quick phone call. Now, everyone needs a cell phone so that they can make necessary phone calls. Most phones are going to be smartphones, both Android and iPhones, but did you know that there are some basic phones available? The only downside to owning a basic phone is finding wireless service providers who have plans for these phones. Tracfone is one such provider that offers good deals on phone plans, including unlimited and pay-as-you-go. Read on to learn more about what Tracfone has to offer.

Plan Types

It's true that Tracfone has plans available for many budgets and needs, ranging from pay-as-you-go to unlimited talk and text. There are even plans that offer 365 days of service so you could buy a plan once a year if you wanted.

First, the basic phone plans range from $19.99 for 90 service days, 180 minutes of talk and 180 texts, all the way up to $99.99 for 365 service days, 1,200 minutes of talk and 1,200 texts. Examples of some smart-phone only plans that are not unlimited include $15 for 30 days of service, 500 minutes of talk and 500 texts and 500 MB of data. Additionaly, $25 will get you 60 service days and 500 minutes of talk and 500 texts.

Tracfone's Unlimited plans are even more generous. $20 for unlimited talk and text and 1 GB of data. If you need a little more data, there's 3 GB with unlimited talk and text for $30. And these unlimited plans do offer unlimited carry-over of data. Tracfone even introduced a new $40 plan for unlimited talk and text and an 8 GB hotspot. Believe it or not, you can also purchase an unlimited plan that has 365 service days and 12 GB of data for $199. Truly, there's something for every budget and need. If you have any questions, call Tracfone's customer service representatives and they'll be more than happy to help.
