no contract phones and their lines
 

since I am kinda bit new to this any help would be very grateful

1) they are so many no contract phones available including TracFone AT&T T-Mobile which one would you prefer?

2) do any of these phones come with their plan or I have to buy it separately?

3) if I go ahead and buy a StraightTalk phone since its cheaper can I use it with TracFone?

4) TracFone or StraightTalk does it come with sim?

1. I and many others like Tracfone, but really you can't go wrong with your choices. Any prepaid phone is a much better option compared to a free texting app/Gvoice. If you can find a good deal on ATT, Tmobile, or any other prepaid phones - go for it and test them out to see if they work for you. They just need to have the ability to receive texts from Ebay/Paypal, and possibly make/receive calls - the basic functions of a phone.

2. All Tracfones I've ever owned comes with 60 days of service included in the price of the phone, plus 20 free minutes, plus double or triple minutes for life.

3. I don't know since I never tried it. This is the closest answer I could find in Tracfone's FAQ:
Q: Will I be able to use my existing carrier´s equipment when I move to TracFone?
A: No, TracFone has a special prepaid technology that is built into each wireless phone.

I'm sure if you contacted Tracfone and asked if you could use an existing phone from another carrier, you could get a definite answer.

4. Tracfones do at least.

TracFone owns Straight Talk who is owned by America Movíl who is owned by Carlos Helu Slim...the richest man in the world.

The TracFone brand owns every major prepaid brand you see in WalMart in the USA except a random few like Simple/Walmart Mobile and Virgin Mobile.
