Tracfone data usage - smartphone vs. dumbphone?

I know there was a thread on this sort of subject not long ago that started quite goofy then actually evolved into some useful information (total opposite of what happens to most threads here ;) ) ...

I transferred from a dumb phone to a smart phone. All of my minutes transferred, plus I got the same amount of MB of data and texts. When you buy more minutes for Tracfone smart phone, you get triple minutes, triple texts and triple data (eg, buy 60 minutes, get 180 minutes, 180 texts, 180 MB of data).


This is the way it worked for me also when I upgraded to the ZTE Valet phone. It also uses the Verizon network. Minutes, data, and text are now counted separately.
