I've read here (I think) that one can add service days to a Tracfone
without purchasing more airtime minutes. I've searched the tracfone site
and googled for an answer but can't find a way.
If you know how this can be done, your help will be appreciated.
Thank you for sharing.

They call it the "Tracfone Service Protection Plan". Search for it
from their homepage (or use the sitemap link at the bottom).
You have to enroll for automatic monthly payment (I use a credit
card). US$5 per month adds 1 month of service to your phone with no
added minutes. US$60/year.
The next cheapest alternative is to buy a 60-minute airtime card for
US$20 and extend the service time to 1 year for another US$50. A
total of US$70/year.
Works as advertised for me.

Thanks, Dennis, I found it. The 'service protection' name was a little
obtuse for me to comprehend. Sounded like an extended warranty of some
kind.
They've raised the price to $6/month, so it makes it slightly cheaper to
buy the 60 card and extend for a year. Don't have to commit to auto
payments that way.
Thanks for your help.
