Sprint Price Increase The same thing happened to me. I was a Sprint fan. I had a BlackBerry but when it stopped working they said I had to upgrade to a new phone and start paying a higher monthly rate for the data only plan. I could not afford it so I got the Tracfone LG500g. The LG500g is...

Recently, I asked questions about getting email on my Tracfone LG500g. I finally found a pretty good free app for email. It is PicoMail. Now I am trying to find an app for mobile relay. If anyone knows of a mobile relay app for the LG500g I will be very grateful for the info. Thank you very...

Hello - Does anyone know of a company that has mobile relay app for Tracfone LG500g?

TTY - Thank You Anij Thank you for your feedback. I know that "TTY Mode" means that I can connect with a cable, which is one of the reasons I got the LG500g. On one of my screens, it says "TTY Mode" but now Tracfone tells me it will not work with a cable - that my phone is not compatible with...

Tracfone Email Thank you for all the feedback. It looks like I am stuck with the same problem as MintyOreo. I am stuck with Tracfone due to expense of better phones. There are times when I dont have access to a computer & need to send emails, but texting is too limited for "real" email. Also...

Thank you. Does Virgin Mobile have phones that enable you to set up a "real" email account (the way a BlackBerry works)? Or are you limited to just sending a text as an email? Also, is Virgin Mobile compatible with TTY?

TracFone Email: Thank You MintyOreo Thank you MintyOreo. I can now send a text to an email address. When I bought the TracFone LG500g they told me that I could set up "real" email on the phone (like a BlackBerry) and that the phone was TTY compatible. This does not seem to be true. When I...

Typed Communication I agree that a standard size keyboard is not important for brief, casual encounters. However, when I want to engage in an extended conversation (at work or a social gathering), I find that hearing people resist communicating on a small keyboard. With respect to ages: I...

Thank you MintyOreo. I can now send a text as an email. But I still cannot set up "real" email on my TracFone LG500g. When I bought the phone, they told me that I can set up "real" email on the phone (like the BlackBerry) and they also told me that the TracFone LG500g is TTY compatible. But...

Typed Communication In my experience, hearing people tend to resist typing on anything that is not a full, regular size keyboard. Also, many people are not good typists. Some people just "hunt and peck." So the best bet, in my opinion, is to provide people with something as "user friendly"...

Tracfone LG500G I bought a Tracfone LG500g. I told the company I wanted to text & email. They said I can send a text message to an email address via the Email Gateway. I cant figure out how to get this to work. If it's impossible to send email w/a LG500g, I am hoping someone knows which...

I would like to communicate Tracfone issues. Is there a thread for this? If not, can I start a new thread?

Typed Communication The UbiDuo might be a good bet. It enables people to engage in "real time" communication via typing. You don't have to SEND. There is no lag time. You read what the person types when they are typing. It is a pretty nice device. But it might be too heavy to be practical...

Hello. I hope that someone can help me. I got a LG500G last month. I want to use it for sending emails and texting. I can't figure out how to send emails. I spent hrs w/customer service, I tried the Tracfone Forum, but no one can help me. The info they give doesn't work. I don't want to...
