Tracfone is not your average carrier. In fact they are not a carrier at all since they contract with well known carriers such as AT&T and Verizon to provide service to Tracfone customers. Tracfone does provide limited services through the internet, very similar to what you could get on other cell phones 10 years ago. Tracfone offers "Information Services" consisting of an internet news service, weather, and sports. They also offer internet ringtones, and graphics. To receive any of these services, you must purchase data services through Tracfone using your talk minutes. One dollar's worth of Tracfone data can be purchased for the equivalent of about 3 to 10 talk minutes, depending on what type of talk card you previously purchased. Even with an "internet" Tracfone model, you still cannot browse standard web sites or even mobile web sites with your Trancfone service.
