Manage updates with the Download App
I'm poor basically. I live only on a fixed SSI income. So I use the Safelink program in the northeast of the U.S. I asked them and they said I can get another tracfone than the one they sent me so I'm looking to get one.
I've got a little money for now so I'm looking to upgrade. I could probably afford something up to $60-ish. Definitely can't afford anything over $80 so that would be my absolute max but would prefer to keep it to $60 or less.
What would you guys say is the best Tracfone these days? I know Tracfone doesn't have an android phone but they do have a couple of touch screen phones.. the LG 800g and LG 840g. What do you guys think of those two phones? And are there other, better, choices?
I mostly use my phone to make calls, text a little, and use the alarm. Wifi stuff would be nice, but not necessary.

http://www.phonearena.com/news/LG-Optimus-Zip-brings-entry-level-Android-to-TracFone_id33178 but you may have to go to a store to get such a thing.
Frankly you may want to forget a smart phone and use what you have now for the internet stuff.

Yeah I can't even find a price on that and like you said, they don't sell it on the internet. I'm disabled and stuck at home for the most part so online shopping is the way I have to go.
And what I have now is a very old tracfone. It doesn't have internet or apps or anything. It's the LG 320g.
Do you know anything about specific tracfone models that you might be able to help me with?
Then folk shop for you?
