Asked 2 months ago by Mjbeeke.

• A:Answer Hi. This is Arianne from TracFone Wireless. Yes, you absolutely can buy minutes, texts, and data as you go with the Tracfone BLU Flex 8GB instead of a monthly plan. Whether it's cheaper in the long run depends on your usage. Monthly plans often offer more value if you use your phone regularly. To buy minutes once you have the phone, you can visit our website, use the Tracfone My Account App, purchase prepaid cards from retailers, or call our customer service. For further questions, send us a private message on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter. Thank you.

Q: QuestionAm I correct to assume that this phone includes 8Mg and is ready to use without the purchase of an additional plan?

Asked 1 year ago by Jim.

• A:Answer Hello. This is Joel from TracFone Wireless. Regarding your concern, no. The 8GB is the internal storage of the device. Which means, you have to purchase a plan for the phone to be activated. To better assist you, kindly contact us via this chat link https://www.tracfone.com/support/contactus.

Q: QuestionCan a visitor to the US use this phone for one month and then stop the subscription? He is ready to return the phone, too, if needed. How much would that cost?

Asked 1 month ago by Mike.

• A:Answer Yes, you can use the phone for one month because you can pay month-by-month. Check out tracfone website to see costs. But I don't suggest getting this phone unless the person wants NOTHING MORE than the ability to dial a number and speak to someone on the other side. Otherwise, get the BLU smart phone. You can access internet (maps, directions, and all the other things a visitor might want or need). Or bring along (or borrow) an older unlocked phone and pick up a SIM card

Q: Questionhow to use the voice command setting and turn it on to use my voice to make calls

Asked 3 months ago by lilly.

• A:Answer Hello there! This is Redje from TracFone Wireless. Please know that To use voice commands for calls on your Tracfone BLU Flex, an Android smartphone, you'll primarily utilize Google Assistant. Ensure Google Assistant is enabled by checking your phone's settings and searching for it, completing any necessary setup steps. Activate Google Assistant by saying "Hey Google" or "Okay Google," or by pressing and holding the home button. Once activated, speak your call command clearly, such as "Call [contact name]," "Call [phone number]," or "Call [business name]." Remember that Google Assistant requires a stable internet connection, either Wi-Fi or mobile data, and ensure your microphone is clear and you're speaking in a relatively quiet environment. As the BLU Flex is a Tracfone, be mindful of your data usage when using Google Assistant over mobile data, as it will deduct from your Tracfone plan.
