Double Minutes for Life Card

• TracFone users have the option of purchasing a DMFL card, which varies in price based on whether the company is offering a specialty promotion. This card has no restrictions on it. It is associated with the phone the user owns, and each time new minutes are purchased, it allots twice as many minutes, or double, for the same price. For example, a card with an allowance of 60 minutes over a 90-day period normally costs $19.99 at the time of publication, but with DMFL that same amount of money will purchase twice that, or 120 minutes.
  
  

Texting with DMFL

• Not only does the DMFL plan affect the cost of minutes, but it also affects the cost of sending and receiving text messages. Each minute is equivalent to a unit, and sending or receiving texts costs 0.3 units. With the DMFL add-on, each text message deducts 0.15 units, which increases the amount of messages a user can send or receive for the same price.
  
  

Web use with DMFL

• Much like with texting, the cost of using the Internet on TracFones is also cheaper with the DMFL. Surfing the Internet on smartphones normally subtracts 0.5 units for each minute the Internet is used. With DMFL, twice as many minutes can be spent surfing, browsing or using Web applications. Two minutes of usage will result in the subtraction of 0.5 units. However, Internet use on TracFones is rounded up to the next-highest minute.
  
  

DMFL Phones

• TracFone offers DMFL not only as an add-on to plans but in conjunction with specific phones. Although double minutes can be added on to any phone for an additional cost, buying a DMFL phone ensures that the phone will always have double minutes. Information on these specific phones can be found on the website, and the availability of phones varies based upon the primary location of the user.
