Flip Phones
The Motorola Tracfones all have a "C", “V” or a "W" in front. Among the flip phone, we’ve owned a V170 the last couple of years, and it seems pretty reliable.
W376g
 Tracfone's first Bluetooth-enabled phone also has a camera. See the full review . This phone combines a lot of features and offer double minutes for life as well.
W370
 
When first introduced last year, this was the most stylish of the bunch. It looks a little like a Razr. The external alert icons means you don’t have to flip it open to find out you been texted. On the other hand, other Tracfones have a different ring for text messages versus phone calls. One big plus is the lack of a pointy antenna sticking out. Maybe this is because it’s slightly larger than the other flip phones. No camera, but it does have a calendar, which is missing from the C261.
W260g
 The W260g is compact basic flip style phone with Crystal Talk Voice enhancement. Review.
V60i
Apparently discontinued. This basic flip phone is a little more stylish than the V176 and V170. No fancy features, but will do the job. One plus: a big phonebook – you can store up to 500 numbers. However if you’re planning on calling that many people, then you’re probably better off with a standard cell phone plan, not a prepaid plan.
V176
 
Small reliable basic Tracfone with a slightly larger screen than the old V170.
V170
 
Reliable (we have one) basic flip phone with a small color screen. This is a slight nuisance when you read text messages or use the calculator. Good phone otherwise, though.
Open-Face Phones
These Motorola Tracfone models all have the "C" or "W" designation.
C261
 
The first camera phone offered by Tracfone. The camera works pretty well, with some issues. To share your pictures or just get them out of the phone, you have to message them to your email account, which costs you airtime. This is true for all the camera phones. The screen is nice, though, after a year of use, it does get a little dusty.
W175g
 he W175 is an open face style basic phone which features a long battery life and Crystal Talk voice enhancement. Review.
C139
 
Their most basic phone, usually offered for $14.99 or less at retail stores. Refurbished ones are available “free” online if you buy $20 worth of airtime, and they throw in another $20 airtime card in as well. It does the job and seems to be reliable. Plus when it breaks down, you won’t have any qualms about dumping or recycling it.
C155
 
Probably a decent phone, but the look of it annoys me. The screen area has a lot of wasted space around it, and the circular menu button with the up, down, left, and right arrows is too small.
C343
Note the protruding antenna, this is the only non-flip-style to have this. May cause problems. Fine otherwiseYou can order these Motorola Tracfone Models and get free shipping at TracFone.com on orders of only $35 or more!
