On some of the cell phone forums I frequent, there are stories of this phone being clearanced at Target stores around the country at insanely low prices (in some cases, below $10).
This is one of TF's "Triple Minutes for Life" phones, which makes it attractive -- but there is a clearance-style sticker marked "As Is", which might raise some eyebrows.
Shop with confidence -- this is a real, working Tracfone -- the activation process will need to go a little differently. The "As Is" tag overrides the usual Target checkout systems, so this phone will not be activated at the register, as most prepaid phones are.
Once you are ready to activate at home, go to the TF Facebook page and use the "Submit a Support Ticket" button...you need to make copies of the following documents:
Strongly recommend you contact TF through their Facebook page, as they have been known to get the best results with unusual issues such as this.
Everything is a bit unorthodox as handset activation goes for these phones, but if you see one of these phones going for around 10 bucks at your local Target, nothing is "wrong" with the phones.
