Tracfone Triple Minutes Phones
Get Three Times the Minutes when you Add Airtime

Four Tracfone Triple minutes phones are now available direct, the two touchscreens, Motorola EX124g and LG 800g, and two QWERTY slider phones, the Samsung T404g and R455C. These may also be available from other sites such as Amazon and the Home Shopping Network.
How it Works and Background
Tracfone airtime cards normally come in units of 60 minutes, 120 minutes, 200 minutes and so on. The 60 minute card, for example costs $20 and the minutes are good for 90 days. Now at $20, the per-minute rate is pretty expensive. So Tracfone first introduced the concept of Double Minutes, where the airtime on the card would double when you added it to your phone if you had a double minutes Tracfone. At first, only a few of their phones had the double minutes feature, but now all do except for the LG 410g (hint, don’t get that phone). However, airtime rates have continued to fall, so people have started to take the double minutes feature pretty much for granted. So now, Tracfone has introduced the . . . Triple Minutes for LifeTracfone Triple minutes phones now offer three times the number of minutes listed on the airtime card when added to the phone. So the 60 minute card now gives you 180 minutes, and the 200 minute card would give your 600 minutes. This is a pretty good deal right now. It’s especially useful, because the latest Tracfones come with advanced features such as access to social networking sites like Facebook via the phone’s web browsers. This tends to use up your minutes pretty quickly. For Life?To be clear, the "for life" part refers to the life of the phone. If you have to switch phones, you'll only get triple minutes on new airtime purchases if your new phone is also a triple minutes phone. Either way however, all your current minutes should transfer to your new phone.
Triple Minutes Phones
Motorola EX124g Touchscreen Phone
The Motorola EX124g has a 3.2 inch screen, 3 megapixel camera, music player and dedicated email client. It also comes with a stylus to help you with those texts and emails. (Note: Availability is limited.)
LG 800g Touchscreen Phone
 The LG 800g Tracfone with triple minutes is a compact (it's nickname is "cookie") touchscreen phone with a slightly smaller screen and a more rounded appearance. It's easy to use, but accessing Facebook is addicting. You just have to remember to shut down the browser to save your minutes.
Samsung T404g QWERTY Slider Phone
The Samsung T404g has a slide out QWERTY keyboard for fast texting. It also has a two megapixel camera and music player, but you get it for the keyboard. Those texts you send will now cost less than ever with the Triple minutes for Life feature. A text costs one-third of a minute. So lets say you buy the one-year 400 minutes card for $100. You get 1200 minutes when tripled. That works out to 8.3 cents per minute or 2.8 cents per text on a Tracfone triple minutes phone. A pretty good deal.
Samsung R455C QWERY Slider (new)

The Samsug R455C also has a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. It's features are similar to the T404g except that it has 1.3 megapixel camera. As a CDMA phone, it will probably run on Verizon's network which may have better coverage in your area.
