Tracfones are not "normal" so try before you buy. My trusty old Moto W376G
won't even charge via USB without a hacked .inf file, never mind actual
communication with the phone.

Perhaps things have changed in the cough cough <6+> cough years since I got
it. Might be a reason to finally upgrade, assuming I can find an equally
rugged flip style phone. Not interested in a smart phone unless the screen
also grows to a usable size, say 10" diagonally. :-)
