Tracfone Double Minutes for Life
67The new DMFL (Double Minutes for Life) Card is now available from Tracfone for $50. This 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. Otherwise at 20 to 40 cents a minute Tracfones are too expensive to use except in an emergency.
Tracfone is the largest Prepaid Cell phone provider in the United States. With Tracfone you buy the phone, activate it and then add Tracfone phone cards to it. Each phone card will give you a certain number of minutes.
Tracfone Motorola W376g
There is a brand new Motorola phone now being offered with Bluetooth 2 enabled from Tracfone. The W376g looks just like the Moto w370 except it has a camera and has Bluetooth. It is now available from the Tracfone website.
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 $50 for a DMFL card. You can buy a new Motorola W370(with DMFL on it) for the same price as a DMFL card.
Tracfone DMFL Double Minutes for Life
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. The double minutes for life program is such a good deal you will save a lot of money by buying a phone with it already on it.
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. There are some older Tracfones that do not charge to recieve text messages (I believe the Nokia 1100 is one).
Tracfone advantages:
- No contract required
- No Credit Check
- No long distance or roaming charges The cheapest roaming of any Prepaid phone
- Available in every zip code in the US
- Minutes Roll Over as long as you keep your phone is active
- Reasonable texting rates
- Service Time Rolls over as long as you keep your phone active
Tracfone Disadvantages
- Expensive rates
- No PDAs or fancy phones
Free Tracfone Phones
Usually you can get a Free refurbished Tracfone with the purchase of phone card. Do not buy it unless the phone comes with Unlimited Double Minutes (DMFL). If you use the phone at all it will be a lot cheaper if your phone has DMFL. Always buy a Tracfone with the Double Minutes fo Life included.

Your Two Cents, I would love to hear your comments. Have you ever used a Prepaid Cell Phone?
You can get minutes as cheap as 8.8 cents each if you purchase $80 at a time with Tracfone DMFL. If you get a bonus code to work your cost per minute will be even lower.
How much does it cost per month to have a Tracfone? Does the DMFL increase the time I get when I add a card to my phone?
Buy the DMFL card if you own the Nokia 1100 and use texting. Comes out to $.03 per text (and $0 to recieve) if you buy 200 min (+200) cards. Very good non-contract rate. Do NOT "upgrade" from the 1100...you get slammed with much higher text rates!!!!!!!!!
Jeremy
That is right. The old Nokia 1100 had a glitch in the software that allowed free incoming text messages. For a Text machine it is one of the best deals to get unlimited free incoming texts. This would be about the only reason I can think of to keep your old phone and add DMFL to it.
Another way to get doubled minutes onto your Nokia 1100 is to buy a $20 phone with DMFL. Add minutes to the DMFL phone and then transfer the doubled minutes to your texting machine.
if u get 2 DMFL cards will u get 3 times the amount of minutes?
if your phone already has DMFL what would happen if you tried to put another DMFL thing on it?
How do you know if your tracfone has a DMFL ?!
I NEVER GET MY MONTHLY PRE-PAID MINUTES CRDITED TO MY
