My wife and I have had TracFone for about five years. We bought the first one at WallyMart in Gilford while on vacation in the lakes. The phone came with "Double Minutes" at no extra cost. Many phones do not. The carrier is Verizon.

SO: We liked the first phone and decided to get a second phone. We live in Rhode Island. The phone we bought in NH (w/Verizon) was not available in South Eastern New England. (Ct, RI, MA) Further:..The Carrier Down Here for TracFone was AT&T. We couldn't buy a second TracFone in SE New England with Verizon.

SO: We did a day trip back NH to Wallymart in Gilford to get the second phone ... With Verizon. A three hour drive each way.

We only use the phone for casual talk or emergency. We buy 60 minute cards every 90 days, About $7 a month per phone.

My wife's phone has accumulated 2573 minutes since purchase. My phone has 2398 minutes. It just keeps building.

We don't need to go to the internet on the phone to see STUFF. (The TracFone IS Internet Capable, but we don't use it) ...We have a computer for that.

NB

PS: Our experience with Verizon on the lake is FINE. We stay on the east side of the lake (Wolfeboro) and have never lost a signal..Ever. On the lake..We use it for making reservations at local restaurants. We can see the cell phone tower over near Gunstock..

BTW: Our phone does NOT use "Sim Cards".
