Security Cell Phone for your school child.
If you are looking to buy a Security cell phone for your school child or a grandparent or someone here are the best ideas I have for you. Security Phone definition**
#1 Basic Net10 phones are also a great value if you are looking for a Security Phone. The Samsung T201g with the $20 phone card is the very best deal available. For $20 you will get 500 minutes or 1000 texts and 3 months of service. If the T201g is not available in your zip code the LG 220c is a very nice phone for $30.
Be sure to buy the Net10 phone that comes with a Phone card. They will have a picture of the phone and phone card together. These are a much better deal with the extra phone card included.

#2 Basic Tracfone with Double Minutes for Life***(DMFL).
You can purchase a Trafone with
DMFL for $19.99 right now. Do not purchase a Tracfone that does not have Double Minutes for life already included. I like the folding phones better because they are more durable if you carry them in a pocket.
Good choices right now would be the LG 220c flip phone for $19.99 with DMFL, Motorola W376g with 60 minute card and DMFL for $19.99 and the LG 420G with DMFL. The Samsung T301g slider phone is a good durable phone also, your kids may feel it is a cooler phone. The 401G slider is available with a phone card and DMFL for $19.99.
NET10 VS Tracfone
With both Net10 and Tracfone you must add phone cards to your phone to keep it active. You must have minutes left and service time left for your phone to work. With most Tracfone cards you get 90 days of service per card. With Net10 you normally get 60 days of service and 300 minutes with the $30 card and only 30 days of service and 200 minutes with the $20 card.
Minutes and Service time will roll over with Net10 and Tracfone if you do not let your service expire for more than 30 days.
All Tracfone and Net10 phones have caller ID.
The inexpensive Tracfones and Net10 phones usually will only need to be charged once a week unless you are using them a lot.
The more expensive Tracfone cards give you more minutes per dollar. As I stated earlier do not buy a Tracfone that does not have DMFL.

**Security Phone Definition**
This would be a phone that will mainly be used to call to check in. It will not be used for a lot of conversations. If you talk a lot on them they get pretty expensive. The cheapest way to message someone with either the Net10 phone or the Tracfone phone is with a text message which will cost .5 minutes to send or recieve. Even very short phone calls will usually take 3 to 5 minutes. As soon as you hit send on your Tracfone or Net10 phone you will be charged a minute for the call. This will occur even if the person you are calling does not answer the phone.
***What is Tracfone DMFL***
Tracfone has two pricing plans. Some phones come with Double Minutes for Life which means that whenever you add a Tracfone phone card you will get twice as many minutes as are stated on the card. DMFL is normally not transferable to another non-DMFL phone. You can add DMFL to any Tracfone for $19.99 at Tracfone.com.
