Gotcha beat, mate! TracFone in the U.S. has a new Samsung for $9.95 and a reconditioned LG for free. They’re here
TracFone is owned by a Mexican company owned by Carlos Slim, one of the richest men in the world, so I guess he doesn’t use these phones!
Well, okay, it’s not new…but it’s free. You don’t have to buy the other to get it…you just buy airtime and they’ll ship the free phone with it.
GarryRF-That’s great to hear.Can you tell us what the rates are

Nope – you’re still spending $9.95.
Is that plus Tax ?
2 phones is just being greedy !
$8 still gets you a NEW disposable phone that works across Europe !
Is it locked to T-Mobile, or can other SIMs be used?
