The Tracfone W376g Finally a Bluetooth Prepaid phone from Tracfone

The Motorola W376g is the first Bluetooth phone from Tracfone. Tracfone is best known for super simple basic candy bar style cheap phones. Now a Bluetooth phone.

Tracfone Motorola W376g 

The latest phone from Tracfone is the Motorola W376g.

The New Tracfone Motorola W376 now comes with BlueTooth 2.0 enabled. The W376 is a GSM phone that works on AT&T or T-Mobile networks. If you have good coverage in your area by AT&t then Tracfone will be offering this phone in your area.

This new phone appears to be the little brother to the best selling Motorola Razr. Thicker than the Razr but not as wide the keyboard is the same flat design as the Razr. Both the Tracfone W376 and the Razr have the Chin.

The Moto W376g is a Single Rate Tracfone

All the calls you make in your local area or out are one unit per minute. You will only pay one unit per minute for local, long distance and roaming calls. Tracfone and Sister company NET10 are the only prepaid cell phone companies in the United States that have reasonable roaming rates. Most Prepaid phones do not offer roaming. If they do they will charge you up to fifty cents a minute for roaming.

International Calling with Tracfone

You can make calls to sixty different international areas for one unit per minute with the Tracfone W376g. Check out Tracfone International Calling at the Tracfone.com web site.

Moto W376 Text Messages

The new W376g texting charges are .3 units per text in and out. This is a lot better than the .5 units per text on some of the older Tracfones.

DMFL is standard on W376g

Tracfone has come out with a new bonus program. You can purchase a Double Minutes for Life card (DMFL) for $50 and install it on your phone. Then any time as long as you own that phone you will get twice the minutes stated on the Tracfone Minute Card. This Unlimited Double minutes for life currently comes with your Moto W376g. Check out this article for more information on Tracfone DMFL.

Battery life on the Tracfone W376g

The W376g uses the BQ50 Lithium Ion battery. This is a fairly large capacity Battery so the charge will last a long time between charges. It is rated to last up to 10 days between charges. This depends on your usage and where you are. If you are on the fringe of cell coverage your phone will work a lot harder to keep coverage and go through your charge quicker..


The battery life of the BQ-50 on the W376 seems to be a bit of a problem. Here is a unique solution to W376 battery life


Tracfone Bluetooth W376

The first Bluetooth enabled phone from Tracfone is the Motorola W376. You will now be able to use a Bluetooth 2.0 headset with your Tracfone Motorola W376g. It is safer to drive totally hands free which you can do with the new phone.

Web Access and Downloading Ring Tones

The web access allowed by Tracfone with their phones is pretty limited but that may be changing. Many options for searching the web just cannot be done yet.

Moto W376 Feel

The new W376 has a nice solid feel. I like the keyboard and the heft of the phone. The W376 is the same size and feel as the W370 and the W375. It is big enough when unfolded it comfortably fits your face to talk (even if you have a big head). It comfortably fits into your pocket.It folds small enough that it easily fits in your pocket.]
