Adding minutes to a TracFone online lets you top-off your prepaid cell phone without having to go through the phone-based process that is normally required. Adding minutes to your phone via the TracFone website also lets you enroll in a recurring monthly plan, which ensures that your service is never interrupted. Airtime purchases made online can be paid for with a credit or debit card, and the minute packages and service plans available are the same as those offered in stores.
