When customers wish to subscribe for a Tracfone prepaid service, they need to follow certain procedures. To activate the service, customers first need to purchase the required talk time. On purchase, customers find a validation code number, to be entered in their cell phone. On entering the validation code, the service is activated and the customer can then, start conversing. The service comes with a validity period. Depending on the service opted for, the validity period could vary anywhere between one week to one year. When the service nears the end of its validity period, customers are expected to 'refill' their talk time. The balanced talk time from the previous period, gets added onto the new refill. Another instance of refilling the talk time is when the talk time hits zero.

Tracfone offer additional schemes for its customers like Refer-A-Friend program, where on referring someone, the customer gets some talk time, free of cost. Such frequent offers and more, have made Tracfone a popular service provider.
