Up Coming New Tracfone Samsung T301

Update: The Samsung T301 is now Available with Double Minutes for life, Click Here and use promo 23444 to save $3.00
Sometime this month (April 2009), Tracfone will release 1 of two new phones. The Samsung T301. So if you are currently not satisfied with the current selection of Tracfone devices, then this one might be worth looking into as it adds the slider style phone to Tracfone's current line up.

The Tracfone Samsung T301 is a variant of the Samsung SCH-r610 currently offered by Cricket and US Cellular. However, unlike the SCH-r610, the Tracfone version will not have an MP3 player, external memory or video capabilities. Even though those features are not offered with Tracfone, the phone is still quite nice. The phone features a large 2" screen and will support both polyphonic and MP3 ringtones. Tracfone will also enable users to download new ring tones and Java games through their new data plan. All in all, this will be a nice addition to their lineup and should still be very affordable. I imagine that once sales on this phone get going, they will also offer a cheaper refurbished model making it even more affordable. I also suspect that Tracfone will bundle this phone with their Double Minute For Life plan as it has become one of Tracfone's MAJOR selling points when compared to other prepaid providers.

Discount Tracfone Wireless Airtime

I have recently learned of a great way to get a nice discount in addition to using promo codes for Tracfone Wireless Airtime. In my search for finding discount sources for airtime, I came across PrepaidWireless.com. At first glance, I saw that they offered a 3% instant discount on airtime as well as rewards points (Click Here for Details). This was good but when I learned that they did not charge Sales Tax, I decided to give them a try. I placed an initial order on a 60 minute card and only paid like 19.89 or so which was nice compared to my usual $22 or $23 at Tracfone.com or a local retailer. Since I am in TN where they have a whopping 10% sales tax, saving 3 or 4 bucks on a card is pretty good. So if you need say a 1 year card then you can save over $10 over buying your card at Tracfone or a local retailer.

If you are wondering about the process and how you get the pin, its pretty simple. Similar to Tracfone except they email your pin instead of getting straight from the site. Another thing is that on your first purchase, you have to verify it over the phone after completing the process. Once you do that, you get your pin and redeem like normal at Tracfone. You can still use your promo codes so that is good as well.

All in all, I highly recommend you give PrepaidWireless.com a try especially if you are one who purchases large denomination or 1 year cards. So if you want to save a few extra bucks and bring your cost per minute rate down give them a try....Visit PrepaidWireless.com
