I fired tracfone last year after they zeroed out my minutes for the fourth time in one year. I had over 500 minutes and 1.5 years on the phone the last time, and was in the hiring process for a job. I had to buy a cheapie phone to fix it. Carlos Slim owns TF and about five other MVNOs, and the recovery processes are the same.
They’re cheap, but not if they cost you a job.
Bummer. I’m sorry to hear about that. I was down to my last 5 days - still had over 400 minutes before this added 460 - guess it’s a 15% bonus. But as you know, the phones eat up minutes quickly. I basically use it for an answering machine.
LOL! I bought my first TracFon because I saw all the local Mexicans all had them—and thought they'd be cheap!
