Is your cell phone plan getting a little outrageous with the kids using yours all summer? I'm sure they want to keep in touch with their friends while they are out of school, but all those calls and texts can add up fast. A simple and easy way to let them do this is with TracFone. They can have their own prepaid minutes that they are using, which is much cheaper than running your cell phone bill up all the time.

Having a cell phone is a great way to keep your children safe too. You might want them to have a phone in emergencies. Or maybe, like us, you don't have a home phone. So when you're away from home, they will need a phone in case they need to call you. TracFone will fit all those needs with little cost.

TracFone is the least expensive cell phone to own in the US. They won't make you sign a contract or check your credit. And there are no activation or cancelation fees. You just purchase one and use it right away. Use it a little, use it a lot, it really doesn't matter. You'll still get great national coverage and good reception for calls. And they have a variety of phones from big manufacturers that you can choose from, like Motorola, Kyocera, LG, Nokia and more. There are simple phones for under $10 that have calling and texting capabilities. And you can get phones with so many features for $29.99.

There are several plan options, which include, pay as you go, 1 year service cards, and more. You can purchase double minutes for the life of your phone with a simple fee (and some phones already include this), and you will find monthly plans with 200 minutes for under $30 and as low as $9.99 for 50 minutes.

We have a TracFone at our house for those rare occasions that neither my husband nor I are home. We don't have a home phone, so we want to make sure that there is a phone for the babysitter and our son to use. I was away last week for a day when Matt had to work. We hired a girl in our neighborhood to come over. She was able to use our TracFone to text with simple questions, and it was there if she needed to call in an emergency. Plus we had the peace of mind that they had that lifeline if needed.

There is more information about TracFone from real TracFone customers like me. And these other real TracFone customers tell you what they think too.
