To: struggle
The reason they do this is because Tracfone sells their phones at below cost in order to get people to buy prepaid airtime.

If you have a cell phone you don't like, you can buy a Tracfone at below cost, swap out the SIM card from your old phone, and you have a new cell phone hooked up to your old service.

People who own cell phone businesses can do the same thing and increase their profit margins.

It's bad for Tracfone when they do this, but it's not illegal and the only way it could have anything to do with terrorism is if they use the profit to fund it.
