Tracfone Coverage Update

Coverage Map

You can find the tracfone coverage map here. It's pretty good.

What follows are some personal experiences in somewhat "remote" areas. As you can see we've been pretty happy.

December 2008

Frozen lake in the Poconos

Another Tracfone coverage update, this time from the Poconos. We drove up one Sunny morning from the New Jersey border on our first day trip to the Poconos.

We stopped for lunch. Then headed on up to one of the state parks. Unfortunately I hadn't really prepared for going snow tubing so we just ended up driving through some of the State Parks until we found a frozen lake where someone in the distance was ice-fishing. Got cold awfully fast up.

The Tracfone still had a couple of bars of signal strength.

Here's a quick update showing the importance of good tracfone coverage when you are traveling . . . and lost at one o'clock in the morning!

I was driving up to New Jersey with my family to attend my brother's engagement party. I knew we weren't going to be able to leave until the evening, so I booked a hotel around 350 miles away, which would leave us with about a three hour drive the next day.

We got to our highway exit at about one o'clock in the morning. I followed the (very clear) directions I had printed out from the web and instead of arriving at a Holiday Inn Express, wound up on a dead end street cutting through two rows of the cleanest, most neatly kept trailer homes I'd ever seen!

Clearing my head, I pulled out my Tracfone to see if it had a signal. It did, thanks to great tracfone coverage.

I called up the hotel, found out that I should have taken the exit before, and that the hotel was just off the highway. The call took about one minute, and within fifteen minutes, I had turned around, got back on the highway, taken the right exit and had pulled up to the entrance of the hotel.

P.S. The hotel, too, was one of the cleanest I've seen.

If you need a new cell phone, you can get an Samsung T301G phone for $29.99, an Accessory Kit and receive double minutes for life!.The accessory kit includes a headset and a car charger which makes it perfect for your next trip.
