Use this process to see if a phone has DMFL (Double Minutes for Life)
This process works for currently active phones and inactive used phones that had
DFML during the previous activation.
It does not work for a new never activated phone that will have the DMFL applied
at the time of activation.
- New phones that will receive DMFL at the time of activation will have the
designation DM at the end of the model number on the phone package.
- There is no indication on the phone itself as to whether is will have DMFL
applied at the time of activation or not. If the phone is not with the original
packaging there is no way to know.
- Certain phone models are known to receive DMFL at activation. These include
- All LG 600
- All Motorola W376g
- All Motorola W370 purchased & activated after March 1st 2008
- All LG 225 purchased from the Tracfone site after June 1st 2008
I can not confirm that the LG 225 purchased other than from the
Tracfone site will receive DMFL at the time of activation unless
the package indicated it.
Now for the process:
- go to the Buy/Add Airtime Page
- enter the serial number and choose "buy airtime"
- select the 1 year 400 minute card on the right
- at the bottom right click "buy airtime"
- on the next page check the options at the bottom under SuperSize
- if it offers you an option to buy dmfl for $39.99 then the phone does not have dmfl
if it does not offer you the dmfl option then the phone already has dmfl
- This is the screen you see if your phone has DMFL Super Size Offer for DMFL phones
- These are the screen shots for the different offers you will receive if your phone does not have DMFL.
If you have a used phone that you know for sure had DMFL before it was deactivated and this
process shows that it no longer has DFML, you can call Tracfone CS and they should be able to
put the DMFL back on the phone. This seems to happen sometimes when you transfer service
from one phone to another (even if the new phone already has DMFL) rather than when you just
let it expire.
If you add DMFL to a phone by adding a DMFL card, you should keep the card and write the date
that you added it to a phone and what phone you used it on. This will insure less problems later.
