TracFone is a prepaid mobile phone available at many retail locations. After purchasing a TracFone, you will need to take a few steps to set it up. Setup is quick and involves minor assembly, phone registration and voice mail activation. Phone registration and voice mail activation are done online, so a computer with Internet access is necessary.

3. Navigate to TracFone's website in your Internet browser (see Resources).
4. Click on "Register Now" in the top right corner to register your TracFone.
5. Fill out all required information to create a new account with TracFone and click "Submit" when finished.
6. Follow the onscreen prompts and enter all required information to complete registration for your TracFone.
7. Activate your voice mail account by moving your cursor to the "Services and Support" tab and clicking on "Voice Mail" in the drop-down menu. Follow the prompts to activate your voice mail.
