Setting the time on a Tracfone takes only moments.
Tracfone Wireless specializes in providing wireless telephone service that is virtually completely set up for the consumer when the phone is taken out of the box. If the time settings are incorrect, changing the time is a simple process. Once the correct time is entered into the phone, your Tracfone should maintain the correct time, even if you travel to a different time zone.
