Can you text on a Trac phone?
Yes, I do it when necessary - you’re punching in each individual letter using the keypad. I’ve gotten pretty good at it but I tell folks not to sent me text messages though.
There are lots of phones that can use TracFone service. Go there and see what they are.
We’ve used them with Android phones for years. All we do is make phone calls, occasional texts, and sometimes I listen to radio. but they have all the capacity for data, internet, etc.
After purchase of the phones, our use comes to about 15.00 per month for each phone, and we have so many minutes, data and texts that we’ll never use them.
Not right for everyone, but works for us.
The only problem is that you lose everything you’ve saved up if you fail to renew when due.
My wife and I text on our Tracfones, too much.
Tracfone was just bought out and we had some problems this month, logging on, and even buying more texts. They failed to recognize our logon, used for over a decade to buy more texts.
When you get a live person, sometimes, it sounds like they are on a boat out past our 10 mile limit re accents and poor connections. English is probably not even a second language, and you might wait an hour to be misunderstood re what your problem or goal is.
We are looking for alternatives, and our younger relatives who are into this stuff are telling us that if you don’t have a 5 K cell phone, you could be out of touch in a year!
We have had basically no problems with one line over a decade old relationship.
