Tracfone provides nationwide prepaid wireless service using the nation's leading cellular providers to create a national footprint covering 99 percent of the U.S. population. This gives you service everywhere cellular service is available.

You can buy bundles of minutes (which must be used within a set time limit of 90 to 365 days) from the Tracfone web site on your home PC or directly from your phone's web browser. This phone ships with a number of handy Tracfone services, including free voice mail, free caller ID, and free call waiting. And perhaps most importantly, the integrated TracFone Airtime Balance Display shows you how much airtime you've used and how much is left, so you can control your costs.

Phone Features
Weighing in at an ultra-light 3.4-ounces, the super-slim W370 fits comfortably in your hand and flips open effortlessly to reveal a large and vivid full-color 128 x 160 screen and streamlined keypad. Instead of an external LCD, the W370 sports a series of unique, light-up icons that signal new messages, low battery, and other events. Most of the phone's features and on-screen menus are controlled by a five-way center button on the handset's backlit control pad. Use the phone's stereo-compatible 2.5mm headset jack with your favorite stereo earphones or handsfree headset. Lastly, charging and USB data connectivity can be found on the bottom edge of the phone.

The W370's internal phonebook can hold up to 100 contacts and includes picture phonebook options. The phone also supports polyphonic ringtones as well as MP3 ringers, allowing you to use portions of your favorite songs to alert you to incoming calls. There's even an included application, MotoMixer, that lets you mix your own ringtones, while the built-in, office-quality speakerphone makes it easy to talk without having the phone to your ear.

Delivering a full suite of organizational features, the Motorola W370 makes juggling business and pleasure seamless. You can manage your schedule via the included calendar and alarm clock, keep track of colleagues with vCard capabilities, or host a meeting over the integrated speakerphone. You can even transfer media files such as pictures and polyphonic ringtones from your PC through the phone's supported USB cable option. There's even an included currency converter.

The W370 is a messaging and wireless Internet powerhouse. Support is built in for sending and receiving pictures, text, graphics, sound, and video via messages. There's also a built-in WAP 2.0 Web browser for fast mobile Web browsing. iTap text entry, which is a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built into the unit--a plus for mobile email and text messaging users.

What Customers Say About Motorola W370 Prepaid Phone (Tracfone):

Like most of us, I'm too busy to do more. I should have trusted the army of web reviewers who've issued similar warnings, and now I find myself adding to that list. By the way, I'm moving to T-Mobile's pre-paid plan, which I've found offers slightly lower rates for my particular needs and, most important for me, significantly better customer service.NOTE: If you check out my other Amazon reviews, you'll notice that I usually only take time to review products and services that I especially enjoy. I used a Tracfone for a few years with decent results--the phone was fine in most basic ways. In this case, though, with clearly unethical behavior and lost money involved, I simply feel the need to warn others like you. As I've learned again and again in my life, a company's true merits emerge when a problem arises and a consumer seeks reasonably fair resolution.In my case, I just lost $100 of minutes due to Tracfone's error, and despite my calls to 3 service reps and 2 supervisors, I received nothing more than an apology. Recently, though, after my first problem that required customer service, I decided to cancel my service. Unethical companies like this don't deserve my business--or yours.

Very easy to program over web site. Just what I was looking for. Cell phone, tracphoneThank you for prompt shipment. It arrived sooner than expected.

They also charge you for ringtones that you can't download. they charge you minutes when you try. I basically like this phone. I am thoroughly disappointed with the fact that I can't browse the web.

Each time you call them, you start over.I strongly recommend not buying anything from Tracfone. I bought a Motorola W370, which initially worked fine but failed to charge the second time I went to recharge it.Three months later, after the second replacement phone and the fourth replacement sim card, I'm still trying to get a working phone. If you go into it understanding that a phone from Tracfone is an unsupported product and you didn't really need a phone anyway, a W370 from Tracfone may be just the product you're looking for. If you do buy a phone from them and end up with any kind of problem, just throw the phone away and move on. To add insult to injury, Tracfone is refusing to restore the minutes I paid for with the original phone.Each time you contact Tracfone for technical support, expect to spend at least an hour on the phone. You will be speaking with people for whom English is not their native language, you will not be able to understand much of what they say due to the poor line quality, and the people with whom you will be speaking will have no authority to actually solve your problem.

In a way it was good for me as the price from TracFone.com was $10 less and included double minutes for life of phone. This appears to be a very well made unit and all of the functions work as advertised.

Be sure to read the various descriptions carefully before ordering so as not to be expecting a Cadillac for the price of a Chevvy. I highly recommend this phone.

Unfortunately, these two excellent cellphones are apparently no longer available on Amazon.com. The main differences between the two phones are the W376g has a camera with 4X zoom that works quite well and the phonebook holds 500 entries.

On TracFone's web site you may access the owners manual if you want the fine points of this phone. Before I could order the W376g, from AMZ, they dropped it.

Price: $29.99 plus shipping.
