Talk Or Text: What Kind of TracFone User Are You?

TracFone users fall into two categories – talkers or texters. Different categories require different phones, so it’s to find out which you fall into you.  
We’ve outlined common characteristics for each type of cell phone user below. Check it out:

You know you’re a talker when you…		You’re definitely a “texter” when you…
Receive a text message and prefer calling back.		Send a call to voicemail then text back.
Have something important to say and a text won’t do it justice!		Wish your friends Happy Birthday via text instead of a phone call.
Can’t keep up with all the abbreviated words kids are using these days.		Believe that emoticons are an effective way to share how you feel.
Feel the need to hear the voice of the person on the other end of the line.		Often incorporate LOL and OMG into normal conversation.

Which are you? Let us know in the comments below. Then find a TracFone device that best meets your talking or texting personality.

Conserve Your Juice

You’re walking through the mall getting ready to meet up with your friends when your phone indicates low battery. Your mind races, your palms get sweaty. What if your phone dies before you meet up with your group and you’re stranded alone at the mall forever?

Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Avoid “Low Battery Anxiety Disorder” by following these battery saving tips:

1. Stay cool - Keep your phone in a cool place – heat drains your battery. Even putting your phone in a looser pocket may help keep the heat down.
2. Turn off Wi-Fi - Wi-Fi is constantly looking for possible networks to connect to. Turn off this feature in your phone’s settings to save power.
3. Switch from vibrate to ring tone - Did you know the vibrate function uses additional battery power? Try turning your ring tone volume as low as possible instead of resorting to vibrate.
4. Dim the display - Turn down your screen brightness to conserve juice. 
5. Avoid using unnecessary programs - If you know you’re running low on battery, avoid browsing the web, taking pictures, or playing a game.
6. Use airplane mode or turn off your phone - If you find yourself in an area with little to no reception, use airplane mode or just power down. Your phone spends extra battery life trying to find reception – save it the extra effort.
7. Keep calls short and sweet - This may be the most important tip: Keep phone calls to a minimum when your battery is running low. You’ll be amazed how long you can prolong your battery life by shortening your conversations.

TracFone Supports Our Troops

We wanted to send our troops a little something to show our appreciation for everything they do to protect our freedom.  So Laura Talbert, Director of Trading Partner Integration at TracFone, and member of the American Legion Auxiliary, sent a box of TracFone t-shirts to our troops in Afghanistan.  We think they like the shirts!  

The American Legion Auxiliary is the largest women’s patriotic service organization in the world, dedicated to supporting service members, veterans, and their families. Learn more about them here.

Thank you, American Legion Auxiliary for supporting our troops. And a big thank you to our troops for everything you do!
