We have been looking at buying an LG Ultimate 2 cell phone from Tracfone. I have read your above "Tracfone Sales and Discounts List - August 2015". I understand that our present phones from Tracfone uses CDMA. When we put in our zipcode on Tracfone's page, it gives us the LG Ultimate 2 phone as an option. If we bought the LG Ultimate 2 from Amazon, that you gave a link to above, would it work in our area? Would it have CDMA? We don't totally understand CDMA or GSM.
We would like to order the LG Ultimate 2 phone from Amazon if it would work in our area. Would that phone have CDMA? Thanks for all your help. I have used your Tracfone Review blog several times and appreciate your work on this.
Yes, the LG Ultimate 3 from Amazon will work the same as the one listed on the Tracfone website. At this time, all Android phones that are CDMA (phones that have a 'c' at the end of their name, like LG L41C) run on Verizon networks.
Does anyone know if the Moto G 2015 edition is compatible with the BYOP?

1. LG Sunset with 1200 Minutes
The LG Sunset is a GSM smartphone running Android 5.0. It has a quad core processor and about 4 GB usable internal memory. It is very similar to the LG Power, except that the Sunset uses 4G LTE service on on AT&T GSM networks.
The LG Sunset is the first phone available form Tracfone that has 4G LTE, and only the second smartphone available for use with GSM networks. Visit our full Review of the LG Sunset for more information.
You can find the LG Sunset with 1200 Minutes (a $100 value) on HSN for $150 or eBay for $150[Image]
Please note that, while this is the best price for this phone, we do expect it to drop in price, and it was even initially offered on HSN for $20 less.
2. LG Ultimate 2 with 1200 Minutes
The Ultimate 2 is a 4.5" touchscreen smartphone running Android 4.4 that has been available for several months now and offers great performance and about 4 GB internal memory.
Visit our Review of the LG Ultimate 2 for a more in depth list of specs and features, as well as comments from users.
The Ultimate 2 is available at a great price bundled with 1200 minutes for just $100 on eBay[Image]. You basically pay for the minutes, and get the phone for free.
You can also get the phone by itself for $70 on Amazon, which is also a good price.
For a real steal, you can get a refurbished LG Ultimate 2 on eBay for just $29[Image]
3. Tracfone LG 305C/306G for $5
If you're just looking for a device with Triple Minutes for Life and want to find the cheapest option, the LG 305C and 306G might be a good option. They are available for just $5 as an Amazon add on item (which means you can add it to your order if your order is already above $35). This phone is outdated, and doesn't run a standard operating system, but it does have a touchscreen and works fine for calling and texting.
