Jim.... You mention that the phone can operate into May.... Is it on a Contract ?.... I had a Tracfone on the Prepaid plan that ran for just the coming month at 7 cents per minute AND it could Access the Web.... If Yours is on a Contract plan, does it have a Camera that will function after Usage Minutes Expire ?.... AND.... Does it require an Owner's Code to Add more time ( With Minutes Limited to the Amount of More Time Added ) so that Another person Cannot increase Your Personal Usage Costs ?!?....I hope that my questions Make Some Kind of Sense ?.... I think Anyone can Add time to a Prepaid Type Phone, without Requiring any User's Code BUT.... Requires an Owner's Code to Access the Address Book, etc.... Of Course, If You have it in a Contract, You probably Make Payments by Credit Card, etc.... All my Mobil Phones are Prepaid, because I do Not make any Payments On-Line and I do Not Bank On-Line.... The Web is too easily "Hacked" and I Do Not Trust On-Line Financial Handling.... As/Of Now, I do Not have a PayPal Account either.... Perhaps if I may Need PayPal, I might open a Seperate Bank Account for that ?.... In our www Too Much Info becomes Available to too Many.... i guess that I'm an old "Fuddy Duddy" about that, but in my Limited Income retirement, I can't afford Losses from any Acount.... Hope that my comments are Understandable ?.... Bob in Texas....
hi Bob, it doesnt have a special code to enter.the only thing you do is by a air time card from tracfone and enter that code.I don't have a special code for it..The phone does't have a camera ok?the phone is worth about ten dollars to me.i was just hoping that it would atleast get bidded enough to be able to ship it and get the ten dollars out of it so maybe fifteen dollars would do it .i hope i have answered you questions? i too am on a month to month and i know how you feel thanks again....jim
