Looks like Tracfone is getting some Samsung handsets, all GSM. The model numbers: t101g, t201g and t301g...

No details on the t101g at the moment, though it showed up on the FCC's website in October. Probably will be a low-end flip phone, judging by similarly-named models (like the T-Mobile-branded t109).
The t201g is only slightly less mysterious. According to some very basic FCC documents, the phone looks to be a rounded flip style reminescent of the m300 on CDMA. Anything more than that, and SAR ratings, are veiled by a 180-day NDA. Since the FCC filing was in October, the phone will likely come out before the FCC shows internal and external drawings of the phone.
The t301g, submitted to the FCC in November, is the least mysterious of the three phones Tracfone is about to introduce, though a search only reveals three disclosed documents related to the phone. This squarish flip phone will have a 3.7V, 500 mAh battery and, more importantly feature-wise, Bluetooth. Beyond that it's anyone (well, anyone except FCC and Samsung peeps') guess.
In other news, looks as though you may be able to take Tracofnes and put them on Page Plus, if said Tracfones are CDMA models. Specifically, the Kyocera K126c has made it to the Verizon-based low cost provider with a bit of coaxing, see here:

From my understanding of the pictures and an email from the Tracfone company, the Samsung t301g is a slider phone.
Niccceee... I mean don't get me wrong the cell phones out nowadays have gone a bit better, but the choice you have made on choosing your device, I concur! There are many phones out there that are just too difficult to use and with So many programs cluttered into such a small device, sometimes the hardware might run a bit slow. So, I personally think that getting a cell phone that succumbs all your needs in one Without all the other unnecessary programs is the device for you!
I LOVE my Tracfone!
I dumped my AT&T phone and got out of my cellphone contract when the company changed its terms. (Did you know that if they do that, it voids the contract? They don't tell you that, but I saw it on the Consumerist site and it worked! No termination fee too. Haha.)
Anyway, I got a prepaid Tracfone and I haven't ever had a problem with it. I wouldn't know about the customer service because I never had a reason to call them.
But the best thing about this is that there aren't any bills and I know what my costs are because I pay upfront for my calls. It's great!
I guess this is a new program for the cell, he had never heard, I have to see how it works.

I also concelled my contract but unfortunately I had to pay a disconnection fee. My contract was costing me a fortune and even in having to pay a concellation fee I am still saving money. With Tracfone (which is what I have) it is prepaid and I am in control of exactly how much I want to spend every month - it can vary from month to month depending on my budget
