# Posted: 11 Aug 2006 11:24:49 I would expect it to cost as much as a text message/phone call, but is it more? I see in the "testimonials" forum that you recommend users have unlimited minutes. Why? I don't have unlimited minutes and don't plan to. Thanks in advance for your response. |

These unlimited plans are only available for post-paid plans like t-mobile and cingular. Crostel is a free service. (standard messaging rates may be applied by your carrier.) |

# Posted: 13 Oct 2006 22:54:42 It depends what tracfone you have. 1. If you have an old "single-rate" phone, you will most likely not be charged units, check your manual 2. If you have a phone which has roaming charges, you will probably be charged 0.3 units to recieve the message, but you wont be charged for the media. 3. If you have the newest phones, the Motorola c261 and the other new flip phone, you will be charged 1.0 units to open a message with any media in it. (ringtone, pic, etc) Rule of Thumb: Look in your tracfone manual, not the phone's but the tracfone, look near the middle. |
