Can a tracfone call card be used on go phone?

Answer 1

Nope. Tracfone cards can be used only on Tracfone branded cell phones.

Also, FYI, Tracfone will work everywhere a Cingular GO phone will, and

in some places not covered by Cingular. The reason is that Tracfone

purchases services from many networks, including Cingular, and when one

isn't available your Tracfone will roam onto another GSM network, if

one is available. This is not always the case with Cingular phones -

sometimes they won't roam onto available GSM networks, and if they do

they charge 2x the cost per minute. In general, I've found Cingular to

have the worst rates among major US prepaid mobile companies. The only

possible exception I can think of to this would be if you make A LOT of

calls to other Cingular customers every month, and are on the GO phone

plan that allows free in-network calling. If I recall correctly,

though, that plan costs $1 every day you make a call, so you'd better

be talking at least 10 minutes a day to get your money's worth on that

one. If you don't mind having a phone with fewer bells and whistles, in

my opinion Tracfone is better in terms of cost-per-minute and coverage

for people who talk 150 minutes per month or less. If you're more in

the 150-350 minute per month range, Net10 is probably your best option

in cost and coverage. If you make 90% of your calls in an area that has

t-mobile coverage, then t-mobile to go is better than any of these.

They offer a flat 10 cents per minute, just like net10, but with much

nicer phones and more customer-friendly rollover provisions.

Guide, which I sell for $3 on ebay. I also discuss other Tracfone

topics in my blog, which you can find here:
