Last year I broke BF tradition on my Tracfone and bought a phone with UNLIMITED talk/text and limited data (which I don't need on my personal phone). AND I LOVED IT.

For years I was in the 1500/1500 365 day, deals with a cell phone that cost about $5 a month all in with a new phone every now and then. But now I am practically writing hieroglyphics and
I don't want to go back. Help me, Obi-Wan HSN-QVC!

I need ANOTHER Unlimited talk/text plan but nothing seems to be hitting. Any leads? I NEED MY STUPID EMOJIs. AND I don't want to pay over $100 all in. Last year it was $79 after coupon. (For new phone, Unlimited talk/text and 365 service, limited data, which I don't need)...I dont need a fancy personal phone, just a Smartphone that is reliable.

So, please post any leads you have, pretty please with emojis on top. wootworshipwoot

I also know buying/unlocking/swapping is getting more difficult and I use this method for my In-laws as well, so if I eff up their phones I am dead!

Any deals would be appreciated!

It seems like they were trying to get us ALL addicted to the UNLIMITED plans so we would agree to pay $25 a month when they ended! Mad
Also, I can't even see any 365 plans when I log in, I know they are there, but not when I use my smart phone number with unlimited. Anyone know what a yearlong unlimuted talk/text limited date plan would cost?

FWIW: Airtime Deal via AMEX (YMMV)

If you just need airtime (not a phone) and have an AMEX:

Check this month's offers. You might have a 25% cashback up to $30. Expires 11/30!

So, if you buy the 12 month unlimited plan, with min Data, for $144, they will kick you back $30.
So, $114 for the year. Not fantastic but if you like your phone and don't want to jump through hoops, it's something. I can't risk something going wrong with buying a phone and flipping the airtime so I lose my number. SO if that's you , too, check your Amex.

FWIW I just punted and did this. I selected the offer and added it to my Amex, clicked the Tracfone link that was offered by Amex, signed in, hit Reload, added the 12 month unlimited offer for $144, they added $7.42 in taxes and fees and I instantly got the year of unlimited added. The next day I got the $30 credit on my Amex statement. So, not rock bottom pricing, but not too bad for a year of airtime and unlimited talk and text. AND it saved my unused data in a PayGo bucket, so I'm all set.

If you have an unlimited call/text plan, then you can just keep extending the plan, keeping your current phone. On tracfone, "renew your plan" - at the bottom of the options you can select add-ons (extra data or global calling plan) instead of a monthly option; on the next page, you can add on an "add 365 days" with no more calls, text, or data, which re-ups your plan.
I'll try to post a photo…

And, depending on how much cell time/texting you need, you can just add more phone time or texts as a separate add-on, not a monthly plan

Thank you so much!
I already renenwed unlimited with the Amex Kickback. FWIW I used to get the 365 plan all the time for my MIL (she uses the phone for emergencies only) BUT I have not seen the option of the 365 on any of our accounts since we went unlimited last year!
I used to buy her a few texts via reload and then at checkout was offered the 365 days at a discount and BAM! Now not at all. Frown
Thank you for trying to help! woot
