Not sure I understand questionWhen minutes are added it gives more texting time and calling time on the phone not sure about the "data" side as phone used exclusively for text and talk and camera. Hope this helps

This isn't a "smart phone", so they are all bundled together. So for instance, if you buy a 60 minute card, when you put it on this phone it will triple to 180 minutes. Then texts cost .3 minutes, and data will use your minutes also.

If you contact Tracfone customer service with the the long number under the battery they will offer you a promotion they are running with net10. You will be abe to use this phone with net10 and they do have unlimited airtime cards 35.00 for unlimited text and talk 40.00 unlimited text talk and web and 50.00 for unlimited text talk and web but this webs running speed will run faster then the one for 40.00.

yes, but the phone doesn't come with double minutes. you will have to purchase a double minutes for life card.

Yes...mine is Safelink service. You just gotta call them from another phone and they will tell you what changes to make on the phone and transfer your current balance of minutes over to this new phone. Also, make sure they have the text message function programmed properly on the new phone. When I first changed, it was charging me for texts when it shouldn't have because the proper changes weren't made when I first switched everything over.

When I purchased the phone I also purchased minutes to go with it and used it when activating. If any minutes were included, it was probably only a small amount. I would recommend purchasing minutes also. You can purchase a 60 minute card for about $20 and you get double minutes with this phone. (So you actually get 120 minutes.)

Yes. It's a Tracfone phone, which means you can buy minutes cards wherever they're sold (e.g. Drugstores); you can also buy time from tracfone.com or from the phone itself.

Yes it does. Only thing is you need to update your chip so the SMS can work (if yours is old). If so, just go to a Nextel store and ask for a new chip, that's all. But it works fine!

You have to buy minutes, Unless you are transfering from another trac phone then any minutes you have left will transfer

Each time you add minutes to your phone, it gives you a certain number of service days. The number of days varies depending on how many minutes you purchase. As long as you add more minutes before your number of service days ends, you won't lose any minutes. The number of days you have left displays right on your main screen, along with how many minutes you have remaining. You can also buy separate cards to add service time, but if you buy minutes on a fairly regular basis, you really wouldn't need to do that. I only put minutes on mine about every 4 months and have never come close to running out of service days.

Yes, minutes will carry over to this phone. Used to have a very old Motorola & the unused minutes were added when I activated this phone.

Yah. You can leave your phone anywhere and sync the thing anytime once a day or four a times a day. Whatever you like, it'll just update what's not already there.

You buy a phone card and it adds time to your phone. If you buy a 60 min phone card you will get 180 min (because of the triple min) and have 60 days to use those min. If you don't use the min with in those 60 days you will need to add another card before your time runs out and the unused min will roll over. If you use all those min before the 60 days are up you will have to buy a new phone card.

Yes. Once you get it - just call Virgin or go online and "change" your phone. You'll still use your old number and plan or you can update your plan at any time.

as a previous owner of this phone which i gave to a friend's girlfriend to use. that when i first got it, that it did come with minutes upon activation. probably still need a net 10 phone card though to add tons of minutes. sure hope this helps.

I don't know. I use the Easy Minutes where I get 200 minutes automatically added per month for about $16. I had an old flip phone and transfered my minutes over from that. I would think the cards would work though.
