Making a Call
For complete information on making a call, refer
to “Making a call” on page 13.

Once you have placed a call your phone displays
the charge rate of units per minute, as well as a
timer which tracks the duration of the call
expressed in minutes and seconds.

Your phone has a grace period that begins when
you make a call and extends for an amount of
time set by TRACFONE prepaid service. The grace
period exists only on outgoing calls.

During the grace period you are not charged for
the call. Once the grace period expires, the
charge rate of units per minute is replaced by
only the number of units remaining in your
phone (indicated as U).

When there are only ten minutes of talk time left
in your phone, your phone sounds a beep that
continues once a minute. If you hang up before
the amount of time in your phone expires, your
phone continues to beep once a minute during
the next call.

Important Note: If you try to make a call and there are
no units left in your phone, your phone beeps and
displays the message TIMETANK EMPTY.

Ending a Call
For complete information on ending a call, refer
to “Ending a call” on page 14.

Once you press END, your phone displays the

of the call expressed in minutes and seconds.

Note: Due to rounding, there may be a difference
between the call time length shown on the screen after
you terminate a call and the call time length shown
