A Short Guide to Adding Minutes to Tracfone Android Smartphones Updated on 12/17/18. is committed to sharing the best and most accurate information for our readers. How Minutes Work with Tracfone Smartphones Over the several years, Tracfone has included a number of Android and Apple powered smartphones in their lineup of cell phones.
