The perfect complement to Tracfone prepaid wireless service, the slim LG 200c clamshell phone offers an affordable way to stay in touch with family and friends across town and around the globe via voice communication and text messaging.

Tracfone Service
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 connectivity everywhere cellular service is available. You can use your Tracfone across the U.S. and if you move, you can relocate your wireless number with just a phone call.

You can buy bundles of minutes (which must be used within a set time limit of between 90 to 365 days) from the Tracfone web site on your home PC or directly from your phone's web browser. For example, if you purchase a block of 120 minutes of airtime, you'll need to use that within 90 days of your first use. When you buy additional airtime minutes, your Tracfone service is extended automatically by another 90 days. Tracfone also offers international long distance calling to over 60 international destinations (including Argentina, Brazil, China, Mexico, most European countries, and many more), which deducts the same amount of minutes from your phone as when you make calls to destinations within the U.S.

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. You must activate your cell phone before use either by calling the Tracfone toll-free number or going to the Tracfone web site.

Phone Features
The LG 200c has an internal color LCD screen with a 128 x 128-pixel resolution and support for 65K colors (it does not include an external display). It's complemented by a five-way navigation pad, send/end keys, and two soft navigation keys as well as a standard alpha-numeric keypad. The phone's small internal memory can store up to 300 contact entries with up to 5 phone numbers and 2 email addresses per entry. The phone also offers speaker-dependent voice dialing, which lets you speak the name of the person you want to call without having to look them up in your contacts list. (With speaker-dependent voice dialing, you have to create a recorded tag for each person; this phone allows you to create up to 30 tags).

If you need basic messaging capabilities, the K126 has you covered as support is built-in for sending and receiving SMS text messages. The T9 predictive text technology is built into the unit, which autocompletes text for you as you type on the alpha-numeric keypad and offers options for selecting the correct word.

• Tracfone Airtime Balance Display shows you how much airtime you've used and how much is left
• 32-chord polyphonic ringtones with vibrate mode
