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 service everywhere cellular service is available. You can buy bundles of minutes (which must be used within a set time limit of 90 to 365 days) from the Tracfone web site on your home PC or directly from your phone's web browser. 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. Phone Features
Weighing in at an ultra-light 3.4-ounces, the super-slim W370 fits comfortably in your hand and flips open effortlessly to reveal a large and vivid full-color 128 x 160 screen and streamlined keypad. Instead of an external LCD, the W370 sports a series of unique, light-up icons that signal new messages, low battery, and other events. Most of the phone's features and on-screen menus are controlled by a five-way center button on the handset's backlit control pad. Use the phone's stereo-compatible 2.5mm headset jack with your favorite stereo earphones or handsfree headset. Lastly, charging and USB data connectivity can be found on the bottom edge of the phone. The W370's internal phonebook can hold up to 100 contacts and includes picture phonebook options. The phone also supports polyphonic ringtones as well as MP3 ringers, allowing you to use portions of your favorite songs to alert you to incoming calls. There's even an included application, MotoMixer, that lets you mix your own ringtones, while the built-in, office-quality speakerphone makes it easy to talk without having the phone to your ear. Delivering a full suite of organizational features, the Motorola W370 makes juggling business and pleasure seamless. You can manage your schedule via the included calendar and alarm clock, keep track of colleagues with vCard capabilities, or host a meeting over the integrated speakerphone. You can even transfer media files such as pictures and polyphonic ringtones from your PC through the phone's supported USB cable option. There's even an included currency converter. The W370 is a messaging and wireless Internet powerhouse. Support is built in for sending and receiving pictures, text, graphics, sound, and video via messages. There's also a built-in WAP 2.0 Web browser for fast mobile Web browsing. iTap text entry, which is a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built into the unit--a plus for mobile email and text messaging users. Other features include: - 1.5 MB of internal memory
- Stopwatch
- Speakerphone
- Picture phonebook on internal screen

 DO NOT BUY A TRACFONE !!!! June 14, 2008
1 out of 4 found this review helpful
Can't review the phone because after one week of dealing with tracfone service reps phone still does not have a functioning phone number.God help you if you need to use their 800 number,you better be able to speak spanish because not many of their employees have a working knowledge of English.Have spoken with at least 10 different people at tracfone and have replaced sim card 4 times and phone is still unusable.STAY AWAY,VERY FAR AWAY !!
Only good to be used at home and they are STEALING YOUR IDENTITY June 12, 2008

The connection is good only at home. 20 miles away from home, you get connection only by LUCK. Do NOT depend on it.
To add airtime from Tracfone is extremely painful:
If add it from their website (most of time it ends up ERROR and ask you to call the service representative), the webpage asks a lot of unnecessary information, then sends hundreds digits you have to key in to your cell phone.
If add it thru calling their service representative, the representative will try to STEAL YOUR IDENTITY by ask you all unrelated information. Besides credit card and your cell phone ID, they ask:
* Name
* Address
* Other cell phone numbers
* Social Security Number!!!!!!!!!!!!!
* Birthday?????????????????
If you refuse to answer the question, they will argue that 'Our System Requires It'. Who cares about their system? I do care about my own IDENTITY SAFETY.
However, if you still want to jump into the trap, there is a way to beat their stealing:
***** Besides credit number and you cell phone ID, give them all FAKE information. ****
I tried the strategy, and it works
 Great Pre-paid Cell Phone May 26, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I love this Tracfone. I just wanted a phone in case of emergenices, and this fits the bill. I did't need all the frills of the expensive phones (texting, camera, web access) and didn't want to pay over $40 per month for a phone like most people do, so this phone was perfect. I got the double minutes for life card and that is definately worth it. So it only costs 10 cents per minute. I don't have a problem adding time to it, I can buy time over the internet easily. The reception is pretty good, sometimes I get some static, but mostly not. I love the sleek look of this phone - it doesn't look like a "pre-paid" phone. The only thing I wish it had was a display on the outside - you have to open it up to see who's calling. But otherwise, great phone for a great price.

The phone is nice, but the USB data connectivity port is disabled. The double minutes for life is a very nice feature.
 W370 Issues...? April 5, 2008
3 out of 10 found this review helpful
I currently use a V176 cell phone that was "hot" in 2005. And I too had a
lot of "issues" with the "internet" I believe its a marketing issue that
pre-paid cell phone don't truly offer "internet" access but intra-net to
the main site for its ringtones, and services. That's the "nutshell" from
pre-paid, and contract agreement. You get what you pay for!
Sadly, most of the phones don't have much "room" on pre-paid unless you
are a professional hacker who can "upgrade" the phone's memory to handle
the internet. I wouldn't want internet anyway, I'd rather download the
ringtone I want to my pc, and use a mini-usb / usb connector adaptor to
"load" to the phone direct with the right software. I'd get with some
corporate executives or technical engineers to send me a CD or a web
link to download the phone connection software so I can connect my pc
to my phone, download the ringtone I want, and load it to the phone
directly. If I can't do that, then better get enough lawyers who are
versed in cell phone laws to convince otherwise. If you happen to know
of the Motorola Technical Engineers or Upper Crust management to make
this happen, let all of us "peons" know! :) It would be great if the
Motorola Corporation would get out of the clouds and be able to fix any
issues that need fixing. :)
I'd buy this phone from NET-10 simply because of the flexibility of
the network, and being pre-paid you get what you pay for. Much like a
Motel-6 commercial.. Clean, comfortable room, leaves the light on for
you, and basic cable package. Get what you pay for. If you want frills
and thrills, then go to Holiday Inn, or Ramada, or Best Western. :)
At any rate, if I wanted internet service, I'd make sure the phone
can handle today's webpages. I'd suggest to the marketing reps for any
cell phone company. Don't promise what you won't deliver. Don't say one
thing, and not provide reasonable service or guarantee.
