Tracfone Double Minutes for Life
The new DMFL Card is now available from Tracfone for $20. Originally this card was $50 to purchase and none of the phones came with DMFL. Then after about a year the phones that Tracfone sold for $79.99 and up came with DMFL.
The DMFL card gives you twice the number of minutes on your phone as the card states. So the $20 60 minute card will actually install 120 minutes on your phone. This brings the Tracfone Minutes down close to 10 cents a minute which makes them competitive.

Do Not Buy a DMFL Card
If your Tracfone does not have DMFL on it you are better off to buy a new Tracfone with DMFL than to spend $20 for a DMFL card. Normally you can buy a new Tracfone with DMFL for the same price or less than the price of a DMFL card.
Do Not Buy a Tracfone
Do not buy a Tracfone that does not have DMFL already installed. It is cheaper to buy a Net10 phone than to buy a regular Track Phone and install a DMFL card. When you compare buying a Tracfone to buying a Net10 phone remember to subtract $30 from the price of the Net10 phone because it comes with 300 minutes.
The double minutes for life program is such a brings the price of the minutes to around what you will pay with Net10.
Half Price Text Messages
Your text messaging will cost half with DMFL also. Most Tracfones charge .3 units per text message both to receive and send. When you buy your minutes with DMFL your texts will be half price also. Some Tracfones charge .5 units in and out.

How Straight Talk Wireless Prepay Works
Straight Talk, Tracfone and Net10 LG 200c and Samsung R451c Phones
The Straight Talk Wireless programs are built to compete with 2 year contract cellular plans. A contract cell phone plan will require you to sign a one year or two year long term contract to get service. Straight Talk Wireless Prepay is prepaid so you make payment for for your service before you use it and if you use up all of your units or the time period expires you lose service. You will not have a termination fee and if you want to restart service again you may buy a Straight Talk cellphone card and reactivate your cellular.
Straight Talk Wireless Prepay is a joint venture with Walmart, Tracfone wireless prepaid and Verizon Wireless. All phones are CDMA and work on the Verizon Wireless network.
Straight Talk Wireless Prepay has 2 plans the $30 per 30 days Straight Talk All You Need plan and the $45 monthly Unlimited plan.

I have just got to say how great Straight Talk has been for me. I recently had At&t ( an iphone) which I loved! But I was paying over a hundred dollars a month! So I got the Samsung Finesse from Straight Talk which is pretty much the exact same thing as an Iphone. BUT FOR 45 dollars a month!!! AND its unlimited texting, minutes, and data! It’s just unreal! First off- there is no contract which is JUST AMAZING but the service is fantastic. It is on the Verizon network so you really get the best of two worlds. Joining Straight Talk was the best thing ever.
