Tracfone is a HUGE ripoff

unable to buy additional minutes via phone or internet - Complaint

GANESVILLE, GEORGIA -- Bought a Tracfone with "double minutes for life", ha ha ha!! Good luck trying to buy minutes at any price. First you must call them and use many minutes that you have paid for to find out that the person on the other end not only speaks poor English but also is downright RUDE! For this lack of service, I must actually waste minutes that I have previously paid for. Wound up hanging up on the "foreign fool" -- a first for me in 70 years!!

I threw the phone in the "recycle bin" and gave up!! I am amazed that Tracfone can stay in business since after reading the many complaints on-line, this is typical "no service" that most people have to put up with!

Dumb, dumb Tracfone. Fool me once, shame on you --- fool me twice, shame on me. Nope, not going to happen again to me. Take a running foreign leap you simple minded Tracfone customer "NO service" reps!!!

I never had problems buying minutes for my Tracfone. Most retailers sell Tracfone cards. Putting the minutes on your phone is simple, either via phone or internet. Tracfone may not be the best value if it's your only phone, but if you use it as a secondary cell phone, such as for travel or emergencies, it is worth it.
