Many cell phone service providers have extra fees for when a consumer calls out of the network but Tracfone does not have this extra charge. When you have a Tracfone, you know exactly what you are paying for the minutes that you have. Every call you make costs the same per your pre-paid phone card that you purchase. Tracfone has no need to charge their customers with these hidden fees in order to make more money. Along with all the other fees that carriers usually charge their customers, this is just one extra reason why Tracfone is a chosen cell service for many people.
