I never had any connection problems with
Tracfone. It works just about everywhere, except at my friend's house who
live in "the forest" on a mountain.


When I had a tracfone, it would seldom get any signal at all at my
house in town. It might get 1 bar at some spots in the yard, but that
wouldn't last more than a minute or so.

Strangely, I could take it with me into the woods and get 5 bars
there. Possibly because my land is close to a rural electric company
facility.
