Adding airtime to your Tracfone is a simple process that keeps your phone ready for use. Tracfone offers several ways to add minutes, texts, and data to your device. You can add airtime to your Tracfone by using an airtime card, purchasing a plan online, or calling a special number from your phone.
Tracfone users can choose between pay-as-you-go airtime cards and monthly plans. Airtime cards come with a PIN that you enter on your phone or the Tracfone website. Monthly plans can be bought online and automatically add service to your account.
Make sure to check your current balance before adding airtime. This helps you pick the right amount to add and avoid running out of service unexpectedly. Keep your phone number handy when adding airtime, as you’ll need it for most methods.
