TracFone Compliment - User friendly for senior citizens - Tracfone SVC

Tracfone SVC - Compliment
Review by Knighted on 2010-11-24
When you know your parents do a lot of traveling, there is a certain degree of worry involved. Which is why coverage is of the most important factors for me when considering a cell phone. Tracfone has phenomenal coverage nationwide and at the same rate. With that in mind, it was just a case of deciding on the phone. I came across the SVC (Senior Value Cellphone) quite by accident, but it's proven to be an excellent choice. The phone is a Samsung T155 and is really basic enough to not confuse those that are not comfortable with gadgets, but without doing away with too many features. The large text and bright screen help for those with visual impairment and it is also hearing aid compatible. As far as the menu goes, the navigation uses basic yes/no answers. Another great feature is the long battery life, which let's face it, is a plus when you're on the road a lot.
Besides the great coverage, the other bonuses of Tracfone are the low monthly costs for those who don't use their phones a lot, not having a bill to decipher or pay, the ease of getting more minutes and not being tied to a contract.
I couldn't have picked a more reliable service and find Tracfone to be the perfect option for my parents' needs.

I've been using Tracfone for over 5 years now and for my cell phone needs (emergencies and occasional personal use) they have served me well. I still use a phone they issued a few years back. It doesn't do much except make and take phone calls. I like that! Thanks for the review.

I'm still using a basic phone but with a contract. I've been seeing prepaid cell phones have become popular and are considering this option. For me, the price has to be combined with coverage or service to make it the best deal. So far, Tracfone seems to be the best at putting this together. Just want to clarify what the Senior Value Cellphone is. Seems it's more of a marketing tool to target the senior population. I'm guessing anyone of any age can utilize this phone.
