How’s the reception on those Trac-Phones? You getting bars reliably?

I’m looking to jump right now and would love to hear your feedback.

Reception on the TracFones is wonderful. Never had a problem. They have a deal with carriers where the carriers are reimbursed. I can only speak for use in the U.S.A., having traveled to many states. But haven’t used it internationally. TracFone offers deals where you can get triple minutes from buying cards that add minutes, for the life of the phone. However, you can only transfer the purchased minutes to new phones and not the tripled accumulations. Not a problem if you use a lot of minutes and don’t run up unused minutes over time. I buy a one-year card each year, that averages out to $8 a month. Good for kids to cut down on costs, if you want them to be able to call or be called. Phones cost nothing up to perhaps $100 each, and there are always sales on their phones at Target and other retail stores. I have an LG840G I bought under $30 at Target, same thing at Amazon for $75, so shop around.
