I got it as a freshman in high school and was very excited to have a phone, and a camera phone at that. Sure, buying minutes was annoying, but at least I could communicate with the outside world and take pictures.
A couple years later, my brother got that phone and I got a nicer phone. Now my brother has a new phone and wants his pictures off the Tracfone on the computer. I wanted my pictures off, too, so I set to work with a USB cord. When the phone would not connect to my family's computer or mine, I found out via Google that, although the phone as Motorola designed it had the ability to connect to a computer, Tracfone disabled this feature. They want you to use up your minutes trying to get your pictures off.
I saw this nowhere on the package. I would not be so put off about this if I had known about this when I got the phone. My two years of pictures will take a lot of minutes to send, and on such a cheap, difficult phone it is a painstaking task that I dread.
