8. I've had Trafone for about 16 years and am happy with it

But I don't use my cell phone much. Since I upgraded to their Samsung Galaxy J3 Luna Pro ($25 for a refurbished one) I use it more when away from home but I get no cell signal at home so mostly it sits.

For the last six to eight years I have been getting the Tracfone one year of service which generally adds about 400 minutes of call time for $99, then for another $49 I'd add on another year of service with no minutes. I don't use 200 minutes a year so my minutes have added up a lot. The new system also adds data and texts.

With the Tracfone app you get an accounting of how much in minutes, data and texts you still have. It's really easy to add additional onto to any of those either by going to their website and buying what you need or purchasing a card from pretty much anywhere and entering the code number into the phone. With the app you can even add on the phone itself.

I do like the Samsung J3 as a smart phone - but it the first really smart phone I have had so I don't have much to compare to. I just checked and I have used a lot of data since I got the J3 but I have been learning how to use it for navigation and for checking weather and more.

I've always gone to the Tracfone site to look for deals - and not signed up for autopay with them, just added on service time and minutes as needed.
