Does Tracfone Have 5G? Tracfone 5G Coverage Map And Phones

2021-08-26T15:43:00.001-05:00

Tracfone 5G Coverage Map and 5G Smartphone List

Tracfone recently started advertising 5G network coverage access nationwide at no additional cost or fees. They are piggybacking off of Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile's 5G networks, in the same way they use these networks for 4G LTE coverage.

Nationwide 5G coverage is still a few years away but in certain major city locations, like New York City, there is some 5G network coverage available. And all of the major networks are working to expand coverage as fast as possible.

5G speeds are also slowly increasing, with most of the major networks now recording speeds about double or triple that of 4G LTE speeds. But this depends significantly on your proximity to 5G towers. 5G speeds will likely be much faster in years to come, but for now they are only modestly faster.

Learn some of the History about 5G, and what it means, in our post.

How to Get 5G Coverage with Tracfone

To get 5G network coverage on Tracfone you simple need a 5G capable device and be located in an area with 5G coverage.

There's no additional fees, SIM cards or anything else. And we are a little surprised at how quickly Tracfone has offered 5G to customers.

Tracfone 5G Coverage Maps

Tracfone uses Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile networks, so we can take a look at their coverage maps to see what the 5G coverage looks like:

Verizon 5G Coverage Map

AT&T 5G Coverage Map

T-Mobile Coverage Map

You can also check on the Tracfone website for coverage here.

These 5G coverage maps are rather generous in the area they cover, and all of the major networks are trying hard to be the one with the 'largest' 5G network. But even if you're phone says '5G' doesn't necessarily mean you're getting faster speeds. Do a quick speed test in areas like your house or work to determine if 4G LTE might still be faster. For more on 4G vs 5G speeds, check out this post on Tom's Guide.

Tracfone 5G Smartphone List

These are the current 5G compatible devices from Tracfone. We expect more to be released in the near future.

Samsung Galaxy A32 5G
Moto G Stylus 5G (Coming soon)
Samsung Galaxy A42 5G (Coming soon)

Additionally, almost any unlocked 5G device can also be used with Tracfone BYOP to get 5G speeds.

Best Unlocked 5G Phones for Tracfone

Here are some great unlocked smartphones to use with Tracfone BYOP. The prices range on these phones quite significantly. Unless you really want to get 5G access, we would not suggest buying a new phone at this time as many new 5G smartphones will be released in the next year or so, giving us more options to choose from.

We will continue to update as more phones become available and as things change. With Verizon likely acquiring Tracfone we would expect that to mean AT&T and T-Mobile coverage options may go away

Motorola was first founded as an American telecommunications company back in 1928. But in 2011, after several years of significant losses and challenges, the company was split and the mobile phone segment of the company was sold to Google. Two years later, the Motorola mobile phone segment was sold again, this time to Lenovo.

It was during the ownership by Google that the popular Moto G line was first released, as an unlocked, budget smartphone that still packed features to keep up with all the daily needs of users. Since transitioning to Lenovo, that has continued with now a large lineup of Moto G phones released every year.

Many Tracfone BYOP users are very familiar with the Motorola brand as it has released a number of low cost unlocked phones capable of being used with Tracfone going back to the original Moto G. The Moto G Power is also available unlocked, and can be used with any service provider.

Based on the specs sheet, the Moto G Play will continue this trend but let's take a closer look in our full review.

Going big on the screen, the Moto G Play features a 6.5" touchscreen with HD 720x1600 resolution. That gives the phone a 20:9 ratio and about 270 dpi. We're surprised by not only how large of a screen this budget phone comes with, but also by how solid a screen it is. If you look closely you can see some minor indications of the lower resolution compared to more expensive devices, but overall the screen is bright and has great colors.

A small drop at the center top of the screen is where the front facing camera is located.

Performance - Storage, RAM and Processor

The phone performs well thanks to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 460 processor which has 8 cores. The 3 GB RAM and 32 GB internal storage are on the low end, but in line with a budget phone. Additional storage is available with a micro SD card.

The Moto G Play can handle the typical daily tasks like checking social media and browsing the web. It is also capable of some light gaming, but lagging and slow load times may hinder more resource demanding games.

If storage and gaming performance are important to you, we suggest considering the Moto G Power or Moto G Stylus which both have more RAM and storage, plus more powerful processors.

Camera

The rear dual camera setup, with a 13MP main and 2 MP depth sensor, perform rather mediocre and it could be the least impressive part of the phone. While it is capable of capturing good photos in well lit conditions, it struggles in darker settings. For casual photos to send to friends and share on social media it will work just fine but anyone who likes to take photos on their phone should probably look for something with better camera quality. You do get PDAF, panorama, HDR and a LED flash.

The rear sensor shoots video at 1080p 60fps while the front has a 5MP sensor and shoots 1080p at 30fps. No slow motion capture here, but the video quality is good enough to get by.

Battery

Long battery life is becoming a staple for Motorola phones and the Play doesn't disappoint with a 5,000 mAh battery that easily lasts all day and even most of the next.

Android OS

The Moto G Play comes with Android 10, which is recent version of the operating system but not the latest. The unlocked version of the Moto G Play will likely be updated to Android 11 at some point, but whether Tracfone will update the locked version is unclear.

See our list of the Best Android Apps for Tracfone users and make sure you're getting the most from your phone!

Design

While the phone is rather large and heavy, it is actually nicely balanced and isn't all that noticeable. Probably not the best phone for those who like a smaller device, like the iPhone SE.

The back has some texture to it, and is where the fingerprint sensor and rear cameras are located. At the top is the headphone jack, and we have the volume and power buttons on the side. And finally the bottom has the charging port and speaker. With only one speaker, it works well enough for video calls, but gran your headphones or wireless speaker if you really want to listen to music.

Conclusion

This is a great phone for the price thanks to the large screen, good performance and long battery life. It is a great option for people who like to watch videos or use social media a lot but not much beyond that. For anyone looking to do some gaming, use more than a handful or apps, or interested in a better camera, the Moto G Power (2020) or the Moto G Stylus (2021) are both great options. The Stylus is almost twice the price, however.

It is really hard to beat the features this phone offers for the price at just $119, especially when it can often be found at a discounted price or with airtime bundles, but the phone also isn't for everyone with the lack of a great camera and the low storage space.

Moto G Play Locked vs Unlocked

A great option for users who want more flexibility is to buy the unlocked version of the Moto G Play which has the same features, but can be used on any network. It is a little more expensive but may be worth it to some for the extra flexibility.

Where to Buy the Moto G Play

Get the Moto G Play (2021) with airtime bundle from HSN for $179

Get the Moto G Play (2021) from Tracfone for $119

And finally get the Moto G Play User Manual and Device Tutorials from Tracfone

This concludes our review of the Moto G Play (2021), we hope you found it useful!

Moto E6 (XT2005DL)
The little brother to the G7, this Android 9.0 powered smartphone has a 5.5" HD screen, 2 GB RAM, 16 GB storage, 13 MP camera and more. The Moto E6 was released in March 2020 and can be found on several retail sites including HSN and the Tracfone website. Look for our review soon.

BLU View 1 (B100DL)
With a large, 5.5" screen, 2 GB RAM, 16 GB storage and a quad-core processor, the BLU View 1 is a very affordable smartphone at just $49. It also runs Android 9.0 Pie and has a 5 MP rear camera, 2 MP front. Most of the features on this phone are not overly impressive compared to other devices, but for light users who like a large screen, the price might be right. View the BLU View 1 full review to learn more.

LG Solo LTE
The Solo from LG has a large, 5.7" HD touchscreen, 2 GB RAM, 16 GB Storage, Octa-core processor and runs Android 8.1 Oreo. Released in late 2019, it shares several similarities in terms of specs to the older, LG Rebel 4, and you can see full details in our LG Solo LTE Review.

LG Journey
Released in late 2019, the Journey comes with some nice updated features including Android 9.0 Pie and Bluetooth 5. It also has a 5.45" screen, quad-core processor, 16 GB storage and 2 GB RAM. Get the full details on this phone and where to buy in our LG Journey Review page.

Samsung Galaxy J2 (S260DL)
The Galaxy J2 has a 5" touchscreen, 2 GB RAM, 16 GB storage, Android 8.1 Oreo and a quad-core processor. It is a fairly basic smartphone available at a reasonable price (last check $79 with airtime bundle on HSN). It appears there may be two versions, one for CDMA and the other GSM. We will confirm this as soon as we can.

Samsung Galaxy A10e (S102DL)
The latest in budget smartphones from Samsung and released in the fall of 2019, the A10e replaces the Galaxy J7 Crown with a larger, 5.83" touchscreen, 32 GB internal storage and runs Android 9.0 Pie. The additional storage space compared to most of Tracfone's other devices, plus the large, beautiful display, will certainly make the A10e a popular options. The Galaxy A10e runs on CDMA networks with Tracfone. See all the details in our Samsung Galaxy A10e review.

Alcatel TCL A1X (A503DL)
Released in the fall 2019, the A1X has a 5.5" touchscreen, Quad-core processor, 2 GB RAM, 16 GB storage and runs Android 8.1 Oreo. It is not the most impressive phone based on the specs, but a large screen at a reasonable price (last check, $79 with airtime bundle via HSN). Look for more details in our review, coming soon. The Alcatel AiX runs on CDMA networks with Tracfone.

DORO (D7050TL)
The DORO is another recent flip phone release that uses 4G LTE but is not a smartphone. It has a 2.8" internal screen plus an additional 1.4" external screen. This flip phone runs on its own proprietary software and includes a 2 MP rear camera. It has a removable battery and is capable of up to 16 days on standby. Overall the DORO is best suited as a backup or emergency phone for most users. Learn more on the Tracfone Website.

Alcatel MyFlip A405DL
The MyFlip is, as the name suggest, a basic flip phone released by Tracfone for use on CDMA networks. It has 4G connectivity and basic features one would expect on a flip phone such as a 2 MP camera and a 2.8" screen. The phone will last about 18 days on standby, and is probably best suited for those looking for a backup phone. The Alcatel MyFlip is on the Tracfone website for $20.

Alcatel TCL LX A502DL
This Alcatel brand device features a 5.43" touchscreen with 18:9 ratio and 480x960 resolution along with 1.1Ghz processor and 16 GB Storage/2 GB RAM. It is relatively inexpensive for the features, at just $49 retail and often available for less, but this Android 8.1 smartphone doesn't pack a lot of performance and might be best suited to low to moderate users. Find the Alcatel TCL LX A502DL from several retailers including Amazon, Tracfone and HSN.

Motorola Moto G6
The latest budget smartphone from Motorola is now available directly through Tracfone. The Moto G6 features a 5.7" Full HD touchscreen, Octa-core processor with 3 GB RAM and 32 GB internal memory. It also has dual rear cameras and runs Android 8.0. Unlocked versions of the Moto G6 have been available for use with Tracfone BYOP since the phone was released but now the Tracfone version is available.

The Moto G6 is a very attractive phone at a reasonable price and visit our Moto G6 Review for full specs and features.

Samsung Galaxy J3 Orbit
Tracfone continues to update their cell phone lineup with the Galaxy J3 Orbit which has a 5" touchscreen, runs Android 8.0 Oreo and has 16 GB storage and 2 GB RAM. It runs on CDMA networks (Verizon).

On paper the J3 Orbit looks a little overpriced compared to other options, and you can see the full details and specs in our Review of the J3 Orbit.

Samsung Galaxy J7 Crown
The latest phone in the Galaxy J7 lineup, the Crown features a 5.5" HD touchscreen, Android 8.0 Oreo and 13 MP camera. It also comes with an octa-core processor, 16 GB internal storage and 2 GB RAM.

The iPhone 7 and iPhone 6S Plus are both available on the Tracfone website and offer high-end features at a hefty price.

With a lot of similar specs to the LG Rebel 3 and Fiesta 2, the Stylo 3 does stand out with a large, 5.7" touchscreen. This phone also has 16 GB storage, 2 GB RAM, a 13 MP camera, and runs Android 7.0.

Learn more in our Review of the LG Stylo 3

LG Rebel 3 (L158VL/157BL)
The LG Rebel 3 brings several updates to the popular Rebel lineup and is also one of the first new phones from Tracfone in 2018. With a 5" touchscreen, Android 7.0.1, 16 GB storage and 2 GB RAM, it offers great specs for the price - which is currently $59 on HSN with an airtime bundle.

Tracfone now offers both a GSM and CDMA version of this phone. The GSM version is only available from the Tracfone Website at this time and we include a link in our review. Learn more about the LG Rebel 3 in our Review.

We will continue to add new phones as they are released.

What is Tracfone Rewards? Get Free Points and Airtime!

2021-04-22T15:34:00.000-05:00

How to Get Free Points for Airtime with Tracfone Rewards Program

Tracfone slowly released their new rewards program in 2020 for customers to earn free service days and airtime for purchases. They were somewhat quiet about it, first allowing customers to sign up and start earning points, but it took several months before the points could redeemed for free airtime.

The rewards program is now fully launched, and we're going to go over all the details including how to start earning reward points and get free airtime and service days.

What is the Tracfone Rewards Program?

Tracfone Rewards is an optional program that Tracfone customers can sign up for to start earning points for various activities including joining Tracfone, purchasing airtime, completing various actions, and referring friends.

The reward points can then be redeemed for airtime and other rewards.

Is Tracfone Rewards a Scam?

No, it is not a scam, but they do offer a number of 'free rewards' that are just free trials or discounts for a limited time, but will charge you full price if you don't cancel them once the trial period has ended.

Unless you were already planning to sign up for some of these products and offerings, or are good at keeping track of when to cancel, it is probably best to avoid them.

How to Earn Reward Points

Reward points are earned through a wide variety of actions including purchasing airtime, completing various tasks and activities, and much more.

Here is a list of some of the activities and rewards for them:

Purchase Tracfone Airtime - 1 point per dollar spent
Posting to your Social Media - 50 points
Answer Poll - 50 points
Start Auto-Refill - 250 points
Refer a Friend - 5,000

Some of the earning activities are limited to 1 or 2 per month, such as sharing to your social media.

How to Sign Up and Start with 5,000 Points

Visit the Tracfone website and select 'Join Rewards' at the top of the website or follow this link

Enter your phone information, as the rewards are connected to your phone number

Once submitted, on the next page, click at the top right menu, 'Dashboard' and there should be a space to enter a referral code.

Earn 5,000 reward points and help us earn points too by entering code TNIN-BC48

Redeem your Rewards for Airtime!

For redeeming your points, 100 points equals $1. So you can use 1000 points to get a 1 GB data card ($10) or save up and get any other airtime cards.

Rewards points can also be used to get discounts on new smartphones, or even for global calling cards.

Note: In our testing, we were unable to redeem points for a $5 text only card, getting an error message that the credit card had been declined. Let us know if you experience something similar when trying to redeem your rewards.

Promo codes cannot be used when redeeming rewards points. It is possible that the rewards program is intended to replace the promo codes in the future. Leave your thoughts in the comments below or join us over on Facebook!

Samsung Galaxy A11 (S115DL) Tracfone Review

2021-02-13T02:42:00.005-06:00

Tracfone Samsung Galaxy A11 Specs and Review

Offering a large 6.4" touchscreen, 32 GB storage and running Android 10, the Samsung Galaxy A11 (S115DL) offers some great features on a budget friendly smartphone for Tracfone users.

The A11 was released on Tracfone at the end of 2020 and is the next generation for the popular Samsung Galaxy A10e. While both phones have the same, 32 GB internal storage and 2 GB RAM, the A11 features a much larger screen.

Tracfone has also released several other Samsung devices in the same lineup, with the Samsung Galaxy A21 offering more powerful features, and the Samsung Galaxy A01 providing the ultra budget option. Tracfone is also expected to release the Samsun Galaxy A51 in the near future. Keep up with all the new devices on our Latest List of Tracfone Smartphones.

Samsung has a solid customer following, and for good reason, their phones tend to be well made, and offer great touchscreens and cameras. Let's get into the details of the Galaxy A11 with our pro's and con's.

Samsung Galaxy A11 Quick Facts

What we Like:
-Android 10
-32 GB internal storage
-Large, 6.4" HD touchscreen
-Triple rear camera

What we Don't Like:
-Only 2 GB RAM
-Expensive

The screen on the A11 is much larger than the last version, which some will like, but others might find it a little too large. And we still see just 2 GB RAM for these budget phone models.

Will it all be worth the price tag? Time for the full list of features on specs on the S115DL A11.

Tracfone Samsung Galaxy A11 Features and Specs

Samsung Galaxy A11 Technical Specs
Size: 6.35 x 3.00 x 0.31 in (6.24 oz)
Camera: Triple rear camera 13+5+2 MP and 8 MP Front Camera with LED Flash, Autofocus
Screen: 6.4" HD PLS IPS display (720x1560 resolution)
Processor: 1.8 Ghz Octa-core processor (Qualcomm Snapdragon 450)

Memory: 2 GB
Storage: 32 GB internal storage, supports up to 512 GB MicroSD Card
Battery: 4,000 mAh battery (non-removable) with talk time up to 26 hrs, standby 22 days

Many consumers are familiar with the Samsung brand as they are a global manufacture and the largest consumer electronics maker (by revenue) in the world. They are based in South Korea and have a broad lineup of smartphones with their high end device, like the Samsung Galaxy S21+, a contender for one of the best phones in the world.

The Galaxy A11 does get some of the classic design elements of Samsung phones with a familiar layout for the charging and headphone ports and it also features an edge-to-edge display and Samsung's own UI changes.

Now let's get into the details with our review of the A11.

Samsung Galaxy A11 Review (S115DL)

Touchscreen

The A11 comes with a large, 6.4" touchscreen with a resolution of 720x1560. It has a pixel density of 268 and screen ratio of 19.5:9. Overall the screen is large, bright and has a small holepunch at the top left corner for the front facing camera. The resolution is pretty typical for a budget phone.

Screen size can be a controversial feature, as many Tracfone users actually prefer smaller, more portable devices. The A11 has a much larger screen compared to the A10e, and has the same size screen as the A20 which was released last year. Many of the other devices coming to Tracfone now have screens in the 6" range.

A large screen is great for media, games and more. But just be aware of the size before you buy if you are coming from a much smaller phone.

Tracfone Samsung Galaxy A11 Review

Internal Specs - RAM, Processor and Storage

The performance of the A11 is good, but not overly impressive. With 2 GB RAM, 32 GB storage, and a 1.8Ghz octa-core processor, the A11 should handle must daily tasks and activities, including some gaming. But for those of us who use their phone for lots of things, 32 GB storage will quickly fill up, and the 2 GB RAM is going to affect multitasking ability. The phone does have a dedicated external storage slot for up to 512GB microSD card.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 in the A11 is a solid performing processor but has been out for several years now.

Performance-wise, the A11 can't compete with a device like the Moto G Power, which has 4 GB RAM, 64GB storage and a Snapdragon 665 at a relatively similar price point. However, for low to moderate users, the Galaxy A11 will be just fine.

Camera

On the rear of the camera we get a 13 MP main camera, 5 MP ultra-wide camera and 2 MP depth sensor for portrait-style images. It also has the usual features like autofocus, HDR, panorama and LED flash. This camera takes good photos in good lighting, but low light situations will really cause it to struggle. And it doesn't quite compare with the quality of cameras in more expensive phones.

The front camera is an 8 MP selfie shooter that takes pretty good images.

Both the front and rear cameras are capable of 1080p full HD video recording.

Battery

Big battery's have become standard on many phones and the Galaxy A11 follows the trend with a Li-Po 4000 mAh, non-removable battery. It powers the device for up to 26hrs of usage time, or 22 days on standby.

A nice feature on the A11 is the 15W fast charging, which will help get the big battery charged much faster than traditional charging speeds. The charging connection in a USB Type-C 2.0 connection.

The Android 10 OS on the Galaxy A11 is a good feature to see for this phone as most new phones have this updated Operating System. It also has Samsung's One UI 2.0 which gives it a number of the same features as Samsung's high-end devices including night mode and much more.

Android 10 brings a number of new features as well as security updates. Some of the features include focus mode, dark theme, sound amplifier and live caption. Learn more about all the Android 10 improvements here.

Check out the Best Apps for Android Phones.

Overall Design

The body of the Galaxy A11 is made from a durable plastic while the front screen is glass. The phone has a standard 3.5mm headphone jack, USB Type-C charging port, and a fingerprint reader on the back.

While the plastic body does lead to a cheaper feel, it really isn't that noticeable and almost all phones in this range opt for a less expensive shell material. Bezels on the screen are minimal, but with a fair amount of space at the bottom of the screen.

The Samsung Galaxy A11 comes in a little larger and heavier than the Galaxy A20, but lighter than the Moto G Power.

Conclusion

Samsung is known for making great phones, and the Galaxy A11 is a good device. But it doesn't offer a lot of wow-factor with the specs. It has last year's specs fit into a new phone body and we're left wishing it had a little more power. If that is the case for you, then the Samsung Galaxy A21 or A51 may offer more.

For low to moderate users, looking for a device to use for texting, social media, and some web browsing, the Galaxy A11 is a very capable phone and will certainly work well for that.

Samsung Galaxy A11 vs A10e vs A21 - Should You Upgrade?
The Galaxy A11 isn't that much of an upgrade over the Galaxy A10e from last year. The A11 does have a much larger screen, a better processor and camera, but the same RAM and storage.

The Galaxy A21 which is also newly available has a slightly larger screen (6.5"), more RAM, faster processor and improved camera. It also runs a little more expensive, but it may be worthwhile to consider for users who like a little more performance.

We have to admit, however, that the Moto G Power still offers the best performance for the price; It features the same size screen but with higher resolution, 4 GB RAM, 64GB storage and a better processor. But, there's still something to be said for Samsung smartphones and they have a strong following for a reason.

Where to Buy the Samsung Galaxy A11

The Galaxy A11 retails for $199, but is available from several online retailers for less. We will continue to update with additional retailers.

Best Apps for Tracfone Android Users (2021)

2021-01-27T09:36:00.000-06:00

List of the Best Android Apps for Tracfone

View a list of the best applications to use with Android OS for Tracfone users. This list is compiled by TracfoneReviewer, with help from our readers.

The Best Apps to use with Tracfone Android Smartphones

More and more Tracfone users are using Android powered smartphones that Tracfone has been making available, especially with new powerful smartphones like the Moto G Power and Samsung Galaxy A20, or the wide variety of unlocked Android phones on Tracfone BYOP.

Android smartphones are incredibly powerful devices, offering many of the same functions as a laptop computer. Android is simply a standardized operating system, which allows many people to create applications, or programs, which can work on all the different Android devices. You can surf the web, check email, look up information, manage banking, and much, much more.

But sometimes it is hard to know exactly what you should be doing with your Android phone, and what apps are the best for making life easier, and more convenient.

So we are creating a list of the Best Apps for Tracfone Android users. And we want to hear from you! Leave a comment below with your top apps, and we'll work on adding the best to the list.

Now let's get to the list of apps!

List of the Best Apps for Android Tracfone Users

These apps are some of the most popular, and most useful and cover a variety of categories. We will try to share as many apps as are useful for using with Tracfone Android devices.

Not everyone uses the same apps, or has need of particular apps, but browse through the list and see what sounds useful to you!

1. Tracfone Specific Apps

Tracfone App
The app from Tracfone to check your balance, and manage your account. It is also possible to add airtime through the app, and a variety of other functions. If your phone doesn't have a lot of space, you can just bookmark the Tracfone website and check your balance there.

AppMgr III app

AppMgr III
A convenient app manager that can let you move apps to your SD card to free up space. AppMgr III is especially useful for Tracfone Android users because of the limited internal space on many of the phones. AppMgr III does more than just moving apps, it also can freeze apps, and do other management tasks.

Note: Some phones won't allow you to move Apps to your SD card. You will have to root your device if you want to do that.

2. General/Productivity Apps

Venmo
Pay and request payment from friends in this simple and easy to use money transferring app. Do you wish there was an easy way to pay back a friend who bought your lunch? With Venmo, it is very simple and seamless to send and receive money. Venmo is owned by parent company Paypal.

Amazon Kindle App
Have an entire library on your phone. The Amazon Kindle App allows you to download books from Amazon, and read them on your phone. This is a simple, powerful app that works well,
Plus, pair it with many sources for free kindle books, and you have an almost unlimited FREE supply of reading material.

Swiftkey
This app replaces your stock keyboard with one of the most popular, and best keyboards available for smartphones. Besides using advanced algorithms to track and predict your typing to speed it up, the app also looks great, and has a number of different styles and themes to choose from.

Pocket
A save for later app that makes it simple and easy to save webpages and many other things for later offline consumption. You can keep everything in one easy to find place, so you don't forget about that article or video you wanted to see.

Gas Buddy
Find the cheapest gas with this super convenient, community updated app. Whether your just driving around your town, or traveling across country, search for and find the cheapest gas in your area or along the route and save some extra cash! It isn't hard to check the prices, and sometimes gas can be significantly cheaper just a few miles away. But be careful you don't get too caught up, because driving 50 miles out of your way probably isn't actually saving you much money...

3. News, Note, Task and List Apps

Nwsty
Want to hear about current events without spending much time? Get just the top 6-10 headlines of current news from all over the world from Nwsty delivered to your phone. The app also delivers short news podcasts for those who want to listen on the go.

WakingNews Alarm Clock
Get the latest news stories from major news sites read to you while beginning your morning. The app allows users to set an alarm like old clock radios!

TheScore - Live Sports Scores, News and more
Looking for an all-in-one app to track all your favorite sports? TheScore has you covered! Get live score updates for all your teams and curate your own favorites list for news and highlights!

Evernote
This convenient app makes note taking a breeze. Jot down a to do list, or write up a few paragraphs, no matter what you are recording this app can do it. You also have great syncing functions across devices, including your computer.

Google Keep
As a relatively new and unknown app, Google Keep is simple, and amazingly useful. It can be used for a variety of functions beyond simple list making and note taking, including setting reminders and recording photos and voice. This is a very handy app to have for when you need to run to the grocery store, or get a reminder about something at work, and it allows syncing across devices, and list sharing.

Any.do
Providing an 'all-in-one' to do list for anything from household chores, to work related tasks. Any.do is a clean and simple app that focuses on helping you remember what you need to do, and accomplish your daily goals. You can also sync between devices, and set reoccurring tasks.

4. Social Apps

Facebook
A standard for most smartphone users, the Facebook app allows you to surf Facebook with ease. The app works well, and is used by millions. Not much really needs to be said, although you do have to download an additional app if you want to use messenger, which is a bit annoying.

Instagram for Android

Instagram
For sharing pictures with friends, Instagram is another great app, and a lot of fun to use with a smartphone as you can quickly snap a picture, and then share it with all your friends and family.

Other Social apps
There are plenty of other social apps, like twitter and snapchat, that we don't feel the need to go into. Social apps are much more preference based, and it usually depends on whether you have friends already using those networks.

5. Free Calling/Texting Apps

Skype
For everyone who already uses Skype on your computer, the app is fairly similar and allows you to make free calls to others with Skype, or use Skype Credit to make calls both locally and internationally. This is a convenient app, and works well between your computer and phone.

Line app for Android

Line
Widely popular in Asia, this free messaging app is powerful and simple. Text friends, call, and even video call for free when your on a WiFi connection. A great way to stay in contact with friends and family for free.

Whatsapp
More popular in America, Whatsapp provides and great instant messaging service and has millions of users. It was recently bought by Facebook, but does not appear to be changing anything. While you don't get ads or annoying stickers with Whatsapp, you do have to pay for it after your first year. It costs $1 per year.

Google Hangouts
Another great resource from Google, Hangouts offers great group video calls and many other features. Text, send photos, and much more. One of the best for keeping in touch with people a long way away.

Textra
A replacement for the standard text messaging app, Textra offers more features, customization, and looks a lot better. Download it and you will never look back. Unlike the other free messaging apps listed above, Textra replaces your standard text messaging app with a stylish materialistically designed one. Not really a free messaging app, but a free app to replace your text messaging app.

5. Phone Management Tools

Tasker
Tasker is an automation tool, which allows you to set a wide variety of tasks to be done automatically at certain times, or with certain triggers. You can use it to do simple things like turn your cell phone to silent when you get to work, or turn WiFi off when you leave your house. It can also do a wide variety of more advanced options, and is a fun app for those who like to tinker and mess around with devices. It does cost a couple bucks, but is worth it for the convenience and fun.

Llama
If you don't want to spend money, Llama is a free alternative to Tasker and can do many of the same things. The key features include the ability to set certain profiles, like silent ringer, when you get to certain locations, like your office. Give it a test run and see what you think, and then consider if you want to pay a little to get Tasker.

IFTTT
If This Then That. Use this simple formula to create an endless array of options. For example, if the forecast calls for rain tomorrow, then send a notification. Or if I arrive/leave work, log the time to a Google doc. The options are amazing, and there are thousands of 'recipes' online that range from incredibly useful, to hilariously funny. Combine it with Tasker for even more power.

Clean Master
Clean Mater optimizes and cleans your phone to remove excess and temporary files, and close background apps to boost performance. It is a very useful app especially for those who have limited internal memory on their phone. Clean Master has a simple interface that is easy to navigate and understand even if you don't know what temporary files are.

6. Security Apps

Avast

Avast Android App

You should have a Security and Anti-virus app on your phone, and Avast is the best free option. It will do weekly scans, and check files you download. Avast also has a variety of other tools, and other related apps for more security and convenience.

Android Device Manager
In case you lose your phone, or it is stolen, you want to have downloaded Android Device Manager. It will allow you to locate your device, have it ring to help you find it, reset the lock screen, and even erase the data on the phone.

7. Podcast Apps

Podcast Republic
Download, listen and organize all your favorite podcasts with this easy and convenient app. Search for new podcasts, locate your favorites, and listen to them all in one place. If you don't know what a podcast is, or don't listen to them, you are missing out. Download the app and start listening and learning great new things from the thousands of free podcast shows available.

Podcast Addict
Another widely popular podcast app, use this to download, discover and listen to all your podcasts. Great search features make it easy to find new shows to follow. Seriously, if you aren't taking advantage of podcasts on your smartphone, do yourself a favor and check them out!

8. Fitness

Google Fit
This fitness tracking app will log your activities, and keep you updated on how far you are walking/running/biking. Set goals for your workout, and then track how you do. You can also track how far you walk in a day, and much more. Can integrate with other fitness apps, and Android Wear.

7 Minute Workout

The 7 Minute Workout is a great solution, as it allows you to complete 12 different exercises in 7 minutes that improves your health and fitness. Give it a try, and start making fitness a reality. There is also another version of the app here, if you want more options.

Garmin

For those with a Garmin smartwatch or activity tracker, the Garmin app provides a huge amount of fitness tracking information ranging from heart rate, steps, workout/activity tracking, and much more.

Strava

Strava is similar to Garmin, but is compatible with almost any fitness tracking watch or device, and can also be used with just your phone to track runs, bike rides and much more.

9. Mapping/Navigation Apps

Get the 1 Year card on Amazon!

Google Maps
The best when it comes to mapping and directions. If you don't already have it, download it. One feature many don't know about is that if you access Google Maps via WiFi, and save the maps for offline use, you can then navigate using GPS and saving your data.

NavFree
Traveling to a new city? Looking for a Navigation tool that won't burn through your data? NavFree is the solution! It is a free navigation app that uses maps saved on your device to navigate you through whatever city you're in. It has lots of additional features, and while it may not quite be up to par with Google Maps, it does a great job, and doesn't require data to work!

Waze
A GPS Navigation app with community based traffic updates which will keep you informed about the best routes, and even let your friends know your ETA. Waze can be connected with Facebook to import your contacts, and has turn by turn navigation over maps which are constantly updated by the community. This is a great app if you live in areas prone to congestion and traffic, or if you just like keeping up with your friends and family!

10. Music Apps

Spotify
Listen to music free on your phone. Choose a song, or artist, and enjoy a variety of songs related to it. Once you listen to a handful of songs, Spotify will give you a weekly playlist of new songs that are similar to what you listen to.

Pandora
A great way to discover new bands and artists, Pandora lets you pick a song, and then creates a radio station of related music that you can listen to on your phone.

Jango
Similar to the other music apps, Jango also works outside the US unlike Pandora or Spotify. Pick a song or musician, and then listen to a variety of related songs. Jango isn't quite as good as the other two options, but still works well.

11. Google Apps: (that aren't listed other places)

Google Now
Get faster access to Google and voice activated actions with Google Now. Huge number of neat features, including location based information, weather, news, and much more..

Google Drive - Storage

The Future of Tracfone in 2021

2021-01-20T17:00:00.000-06:00

New Phones, Predictions and Changes for Tracfone in 2021

2020 has been quite a year, and now that it is over, we're covering some of the big things that happened, and also looking at what 2021 may bring for Tracfone.

We will take a look at some exciting new phones coming this year, the possible sale of Tracfone to Verizon, and a look back at the most popular phones from last year.

For those curious about our previous predictions, look back at our post for 2020.

Note - TracfoneReviewer is not affiliated with Tracfone Wireless in any way, we make our predictions based on trends and our own experiences.

Let's start with a look back at some of the things that happened in 2020 for Tracfone.

Looking back at Tracfone in 2020

There were several big things that happened in 2020 for Tracfone and their users, and one was the release of several great budget smartphones. Many customers had been asking and asking for better phones and Tracfone finally released some great options including the Moto G7 Optimo MAXX, Moto G Power, Samsung Galaxy A20 and Samsung Galaxy A10e. The Moto G Power comes with 4 GB RAM, 64 GB internal storage, Android 10 and much more, all for under $200. See all the new devices in our Latest List of Tracfone Smartphones.

The Verizon 3G network closure was another big thing that happened at the end of 2020, with phones needing to be 4G capable and have HD voice to continue to work on Verizon networks. While the 3G network may not have actually been turned off yet, it will be phased out over the coming months.

But the biggest news of 2020 was the announcement from Verizon of plans to buy Tracfone for just under $7 billion. The deal is supposed to be worked out by mid to late 2021. We'll go into more details of how this will affect current customers a little further down.

Most Popular Phones in 2020

Based on our metrics, these were the most popular smartphones released by Tracfone in 2020.

These three phones were released early on in 2020 and maintained significant popularity, especially the Moto G7 Optimo MAXX which has some great performance and specs at under $100. If the Moto G Power had been released earlier in 2020, we're sure it would have jumped onto this list as well.

What to Expect from Tracfone in 2021

Verizon Acquisition of Tracfone
The biggest change and unknown going into 2021 is obviously Verizon's plans to buy Tracfone. While this does have long term implications, for 2021, we don't expect any significant changes to occur as far as service, network coverage or airtime.

Verizon has said they plan to keep Tracfone's current employees, and likely they won't change much initially. But it is very likely they will eventually work to move all customers onto their network (and not on AT&T). If we see Tracfone limiting new activations to Verizon's network only, that will be a good sign of the start of that change.

Like most other major networks, it is expected that Verizon will keep Tracfone's brand separate from their own, to maintain a low-cost, prepaid option but not take away from Verizon's premium level, post-paid brand. Thus we may see only minor changes to Tracfone's pricing, or none at all.

The bottom line for Verizon's acquisition is that there is still a lot of unknowns, and as information becomes available, we'll continue to share it here.

New Phones Coming to Tracfone in 2021

Moto G Play
Moto G Stylus
Samsung Galaxy A21
Samsung Galaxy A51
Apple iPhone 11 and 12
Alcatel MyFlip 2

The two Motorola phones are similar to the already launched Moto G Power, but with variations. We are excited for the next generation of the Samsung Galaxy A20 and A50, as they were fairly popular phones with a good balance of performance and price.

When Will Tracfone get 5G?
The big buzzword in 2020 for networks and phone manufactures was '5G' so when will Tracfone get 5G and do you need a compatible phone? Well, not for a while and no, not yet. 5G, which just means 5th Generation, is still years away from being nationally available and even then we don't know if prepaid customers on Tracfone will get access or not. At this time, most 4G LTE connections are actually faster than 5G on AT&T or Verizon and that may be the case for the near future.

If Verizon does complete the acquisition of Tracfone, it is possible we may see 5G network coverage extended to prepaid customers on Tracfone in the next few years.

Any Changes to Tracfone Airtime or Service?
We don't expect to see any significant changes to Tracfone's current airtime offering. They rolled out unlimited plans a little while back, and have since made very little changes to any airtime cards. We expect they will continue offering regular and smartphone only cards.

Promo codes were rather unreliable in 2020, with a number of issues being reported including customers not getting bonus airtime or discounts when the Tracfone website had already accepted the promo code. We hope that Tracfone has straightened out these issues, and you can visit our Tracfone Promo Code page to find a code to use the next time you are adding airtime.

What we Want in 2021 from Tracfone
The two main things we want to see Tracfone do are improve their customer service and fix the issues with promo codes.

We say it every year, but it still should be said, Tracfone needs to improve their customer service. We have had good experiences using the online chat feature on the website to sort out various problems, but calling customer service is still a big headache for many, and customers often run into various issues dealing with customer service.

As for the promo code issue, we have had success recently using codes but some readers have also still reported problems. If you have an issue, be sure to contact Tracfone and make sure they fix it.

Finally, we hope that, as the Verizon acquisition deal moves closer. Tracfone will keep their customers informed about any potential changes.

That concludes our look at what to expect from Tracfone in 2021. We hope this helps give you an idea of what is ahead, and be sure to leave a comment below with your thoughts or questions!

4. Tracfone Airtime!

For Tracfone users, additional airtime is always great and a very practical gift idea. There are a number of different airtime card amounts, and some cards that are specifically for smartphones. Tracfone airtime cards can often be found in most retail stores such as Target or Walmart.

Some popular airtime card amounts:

60 Minute Regular Airtime Card
$25 Smartphone Only Airtime Card
1000 Text Add-on Card
1 GB Data Add-on Card

5. External Battery or Solar Charger

Have you ever been away from a charger when your phone ran out of power or just want to make sure you're never stuck with a dead phone? An external battery pack is an easy and convenient way to keep your phone charged and ready no matter where you are. Acting as an additional battery that you can charge your phone or other devices from, an external battery is the perfect gift idea for anyone who spends time in the outdoors, or tends to forget to keep their phone charged.

External battery packs come in a variety of sizes and storage capacities, with most smaller than a phone and capable of charging a phone several times. The Anker Powercore Slim 10000 is one great option that is small and portable and will recharge most phones 2-3 times.

6. Gift Cards for Apps and Games

If you're not really sure what the latest game or online app the kids are playing a gift card can be a good option and let someone get what they really want. A gift card for Google Play store or Apple App store allows users to purchase apps or games. Amazon gift cards are also a great option as you can get anything from movies, apps, games, toys and more.

7. Bluetooth Headphones and Speakers

One of the best accessories for a smartphone are headphones or portable speakers and there are plenty of great options available. Here are some different options!

The Panasonic in-ear headphones have surprisingly great sound while also significantly reducing outside noises. These are small, yet powerful headphones at a great deal.

For headphones with sound and noise cancelling, consider the Bose Soundlink around ear headphones which can connect to your device wirelessly and includes a long lasting rechargeable battery.

When it comes to speakers, there are many options ranging from small and portable, to large and powerful. Adventurous music listeners will find the JBL Clip 3 perfect for attaching to a backpack or belt while on the go and it has IPX7 Waterproof rating.

The Anker Soundcore is a little larger, and more suited to causal gatherings indoors or out. It has 24hrs of playback time and connects to any smartphone via Bluetooth.

8. Smartwatch

Smartwatches, paired with a smartphone, allow users to answer phone calls, send texts, check notifications and more without touching their phone. Most are waterproof, for those with active lifestyles, and provide exercise, heart-rate, and sleep tracking. Some smartwatches offer just the basic activity tracking, and are also a lot less expensive.

There are many options available but here are some of the top contenders for activity tracking smartwatches:

9. Extra Storage

A common issue many smartphone users have is running out of storage space. And with most of Tracfone's smartphones only featuring 16 GB internal storage, using a MicroSD card for external storage is a necessary option. External storage is great for adding music, videos, podcasts or more. Most smartphones accept at least 64 GB additional storage, but double check with your model.

The Samsung 64GB MicroSD Card is a popular option that comes with an SD card adapter and is at a great price.

10. Handsfree holder for your car

Stay safe while staying connected with a handsfree phone holder in your car! These holders allow you to follow GPS navigation or talk on the phone while keeping your hands on the wheel.
