Big Lots =Win,
 

Found $5 trac phones, on the back it says it comes with 10 mins and 30 days of airtime... Well, after losing 2 accounts on my work phones the last few days. I decided to break open one of my trac phone cellos.... $5 20 MINUTES air time, and 60 days of service. Tonight after work, i am going to stop at all the big lots in the area and buy all the $5 phones i see. Some said $10 but also had a $5 sticker on them, so obviously they are trying to get rid of them... just a heads up.

thanks for the heads up! i just recently started thinking of creating stealth accounts and will be using tracfones i will be checking my big lots tommorow.

Too bad my nearest big lots is pretty far... :pout:

I use Tracfones for all my accounts also. It says they come with 10 minutes but if you activate it online they will double the minutes to 20.

I'm on my way I have a few within a couple of miles. I might need a suitcase to carry all of my tracphones

They will only let you buy 2 at a time I think. I usually have to hit all 3 Big Lots to load up.

haha yeah. i had my gf and roommate with me, they each bought 2... do they think we are drug dealers?

:lol: .

And, we get cheap items to list on ebay for feedback. The chargers i get are all the same brand, and works with my very own HTC touch pro 2, which is a popular phone, it also works for many blackberrys etc... so you can get 3.50 for them on there, undercut the powersellers just to move them and feedback

mini usb port chargers have the same size hole... that doesn't mean they have the same amp and voltage ratings. Do not use that charger to charge your 600 dollar (retail) touch pro 2.... or any blackberry......:boom:

Just bought 4 Tracphones from Biglots for $5/pc with no hassle. Thanks for the info!

Can you choose an area code NOT in your actual area? I need a phone number in another part of the state.

Yes, Tracfones will let you register in any area code, if they have it.

Why not just use Virgin Mobile then you only need 1 since you can change the number every 24 hrs. and use any area code as well.

Thanks Jbuntz, I'll look into that as well. I am just now beginning my phone solution search as that is my last step in my first account set up.

Any other suggestions appreciated.

whats a track phone

It's a US thang.....

It's a prepaid phone offered through voda phone, it's basically prepaid subletting on verizon wireless' network

It's a very cheap and cost effective means to phone verify an account (in the usa)

And ebay will consider it a landline? I thought they knew when it was not a landline?

I am the same with you.;)
I Think this is good for me

because for at least 60 days.... and 20 call time minutes, ebay and paypal can call you and you might be able thwart a limitation. 1 of my phones is down to 35 days. makes me wonder what im gonna do when it runs out. i take the phones most everywhere i go, even to work

I guess I missed the $5 sale. At my local store they were back to $14.95 :(
