Don't waste your money

By: dave Evans on Friday, June 20, 2008
From orlando FL (United States)
Experience: 1 Weeks
Pros: None

Cons: Everything

Summary: If you are considering buying a Tracfone, DON'T.

It would be far easier, and certainly quicker to just flush your money down the toilet instead of giving to this bunch of fraudsters.

They will gladly take your money for phones and airtime cards, but getting the service activated and operable is next to impossible.

I've spent the last week trying to activate a phone, and in the end, all the Tracfone "customer service" dept (that's a joke in itself) could suggest was that I return the phone to the retailer (not possible), and to tell me that the airtime cards were non refundable.

Basically they are comitting fraud by taking money, but then refusing to provide the service that was paid for.

The only reason that I have rated them as poor on all counts is that there wasn't an option for abysmal.
