Appreciate my Obi EVERY day, and a wee bit of good news to share...

Tracfone is a poor & terribly overpriced service even IF one wants to make use of a cellular carrier !!
So, yes=>
I do use my Android phones Wifi-only, that is correct.
I guess such things as this are easily miscomprehended...:

I though the idea was to use it as a wifi device not a cell phone anyway? ???
According to the web site (as seen here...), Tracfone REQUIRES those wanting this phone to either be existing & activated cellular users of their service - or those who will buy a card to become so.
Just to see if it might still work...
I went back and gave different zip codes from all around the US to see if it would allow purchase - and got longer lists of deals - none showing the L34C.
I also found the posting of this on Fatwallet, where it seems you also posted of your success - and tried their link - same poor results.
I don't know if this just means that the L34C deal is over now - BUT:
Lucky you to get that deal - I wish you well in learning how to get good usage from them !!

Not to worry. :D

"Tracfone is a poor & terribly overpriced service even IF one wants to make use of a cellular carrier !!"
I dunno dude, $85/yr for a cell phone that works when I need it seems pretty good to me.
vtsnaab:
So - was it Tracfone that cancelled your order, or did you decide against getting those ??
The problem with TracFone is that in regular usage they are terribly overpriced compared with other cellular carriers - at least hereabouts.

In this rural area we have very limited choices for carriers - and in regular usage their rates can easily amount to much more than your stated $85 each month (my closest friend was spending over $100/month for daily usage with them...before switching to Consumer Cellular @ $35/mo for 2 phones.)
I would have merrily bought 2 more L34C phones for that price - IF that deal worked here !!
Best Wishes.

I think you misread Zorlac's post. He said $85 per YEAR. I don't see an $85 plan, but there is a $100 annual plan. It also looks like you can get double minutes for a one-time $20 charge. Any of the annual plans seem like a good deal if you're a light cell user. The $100 annual plan ($8.33 per month) with double minutes is 66 minutes per month. The $200 annual plan ($16.67 per month) with double minutes is 250 minutes per month.

OzarkEdge:
For comparison, an AT&T GoPhone requires a $100 deposit per year to remain active. Then you consume that at the rate of $0.10 per minute or 1000 minutes. No data. Texting is cheaper if you buy a package.
Lately, their Customer Service has been very generous in letting me bump the balance $10 to keep it alive for another year. (I avoid mobile calling... just don't won't to be tethered when I'm out doing things.)
