Tracfone has one of the worst reputations for customer service. Good
luck calling them. If you search Google for tracfone reviews you'll
see. That's not to say it's still not a good deal for those you make
very few calls like me. When my contract is up I may go with them.
Anybody have much experience with Virgin Mobils pay-as-you-go?

When I recently had trouble finding the pin code (or whatever it's
called) on a new purchase card, I called Tracfone and was connected
after a short wait and limited number pushing to a service rep who
politely answered all my stupid questions and got my minuntes activated.
She did have a distinctive accent but was helpful and thorough. YMMV.

That is very encouraging. Still if you do research online you'll see
what I'm talking about. It could be that those with bad experiences are
more likely to complain than those with good experiences register their
satisfaction with Tracfones service.

If you search any of the cell phone companies you will find lots of
dissatisfied people.

I have never had a problem that a email or phone call to Tracfone did not
fix.

Tracfone is the only company that has a program that gives free minutes for
new users.
If you get a Tracfone just send an email to
tracfone AT alex4all.com saying "free minutes please."
You will receive an email from Tracfone giving you the instructions for
activating you new or refurbished phone and giving you 100 free minutes.
No one else does that.
