TracFone Wireless tracfone minutes card

On Sunday my 11 year old daughter scratched off the pin number on the back of the phone card I got her at Christmas. In the process, it scratched off several of the numbers that were needed to activate the card. I contacted TracFone and was given many excuses as to why they could not give me the pin with all of the information that i was providing to them. I sent a copy of the receipt and of the tracfone card as requested and my emails have gone unanswered. I understand that the pin number is associated with the card I purchased and the number that was scanned on the card itself to purchase it has been supplied to them. The pin number was not scanned at the time of the purchase so the company should be able to link the card number to the pin. I am just asking that they supply me with the pin as I have done everything that they have asked and it has been 3 days. I am looking for a resolution to this problem as the company had no issue with taking my money immediately so the information should be processed immediately. Honestly, waiting 3 days and speaking to multiple people was in my opinion, bad business.

# Oliver Twist 13 - I Am Having The Same Problem. My Husband Is A Senior And We Only Need The Phone For Emergencies. I Have Called Them For 2 Days, 4 Times, Talked To 12 Different People. I Also Sent Everything They Asked For. Every Person Tells Me I Have To Resend It. I Told Them Why Should I Have To Keep Going Over To Office Depot And Paying To Resend This. I Payed $39.99 For The Card For 200 Minutes And The Phone I Bought Was From QVC So The Minutes Are Supposed To Be Tripled. The Last Person I Talked To Told Me The Ticket Had Been Closed And Satisfied. I Got A E-Mail From POP Case Resolution Department Saying My Items Had Been Received And Airtime Card Is Ready To Use. The Minutes Are Not On The Phone ! How Am I Suppose To Use A Airtime Card With No Pin DUH! How Stupid Do These People Think I Am?
We Have 52 Minutes Left On The Phone But I Am Going To Get A New Phone From Someone Else. So Buyers Beware If You Are Thinking Of Buying A Tracfone!

TracFone Wireless sales people are liars

i called tracfone for options before purchasing/transfer from net10. i was told best option bring own phone $125 yearly. i repeatedly asked about my friend getting lower price, yet i was not offered any better options. after i purchased i then found out ebay third party authorized sellers was the plan i was asking about. i then called sales and they now agreed telling me to purchase phone/plan thru the ebay authorized seller and told me i could get a refund on the $125 yearly plan. after a dozen calls all the way to a manager i was told no refund. i was also charged for a month on my old net10 plan which i used for 7 days. again told no refund even after sales person told me not to worry i'd be getting the partial refund on both plans. end of story the sales lied and misled me over and over. to use the 800 # there was always a 30 minute plus wait so i used direct as told by sales person not knowing it took time off my plan every time. now i've wasted all this time and being charged for it. i want the refunds i was promised.

TracFone Wireless net10 tracfone

I had a NET10 Tracfone model LG 305C which I loved. The phone died and would not accept a charge. I brought it back to Walmart where I purchased it over a year ago. Walmart no longer carried the Net10 phones; however, they did have Tracfones. The Walmart employee called your Corporate Office and spent over an hour on the phone to attempt to transfer my existing minutes and days to a new phone. The end result was that the Tracfone employee said that they would just send me a new phone - that was January 16th with the ticket number [protected] and they would send the new phone in 3-5 business days. I waited till January 26th and made another trip to Walmart to see if they could assist. They again called the Corporate number and the employee stated that the phone was never shipped; however, for me to call back in 1-2 days to receive the tracking number and I could see the progress. I called this morning and there was no record of the conversation on Jan 26th and that indeed the phone was not shipped. This has now been two weeks! I am 76 and a widow and the phone is now a safety issue. When I called this morning, the Corporate employee gave me a new case number [protected]. She asked for all my information again which I provided. She said it would take 3-5 business days IF the phone was in the factory! Now this will be three weeks. The issue is the almost 800 minutes that were on my old phone and 1600* service days. I am on the pay-as-you-go plan which is excellent for me - being on a limited budget, I can chose when my minutes are running low. They deactivated my phone on the 16th and I have been without a phone since then - being assured that I would have a phone in 3-5 days. I am very frustrated and disappointed that the customer service is not provided as expected. I have enjoyed the Tracfone for over 10 years when my husband (now deceased) retired in 2007. If someone could give me some honest answers and send me a replacement phone as soon as possible, I would be most grateful. I thank you in advance for any assistance you could provide. Hoping to hear from someone very soon.

TracFone Wireless call details request

On July 05, 2017 Tracfone transferred 1089 minutes to another Tracfone that was not mine. Eventually I elevated this error and TracFone added the minutes back to my Tracfone.
On January 26, 2018 my phone told me that I did not have any more minutes left on my phone.
On January 26, 2018 I started the process to get a Call Detail Record for my Tracfone from July 2017 to Jan 26, 2108 to see how my minutes got used up.
After 2 days of texting and phone calls to Tracfone they informed me that they could only go back for 90 days from the date of my request for Call Detail Records. In order to request more than 90 days of call records I would have to get a subpeona.
This is for my records on my Tracfone so I can see if some of my minutes got "transferred" to somewhere else.

TracFone Wireless wrong name displayed when making calls to all cell phones/landlines

Between 1-23-18 and 1-24-18 I have been on two chats and spoke to one associate to try to resolve my problem that whenever I make a call to any cellphone or landline another persons name appears. This all started when Tracfone turned off my service [protected]) in error in the beginning of January. On Jan. 7, 2018 my phone was turned back on and ever since that date another person's name appears, not mine. I was told this could not be corrected since the numbers are recycled and the last person's name who had the [protected] will always show up. The last associate, Ryan, that I spoke to today suggested I call everyone I speak to when using this cell number and have them add my name/number manually to their contact list. I find that request unreasonable and feel Tracfone must have someone in their technical support group that can resolve this. I pay the bill with my name and feel my name should be what others see when I call them.

TracFone Wireless service on the iphone se

I ordered a iPhone SE as a Christmas gift. I was getting poor service and after 30 days was told my server was Verizon, not AT&T. There is no Verizon service near us and I requested a transfer of service. They denied our complaint and told me there was nothing they could do. I could buy a new phone-and just be out the money. Ridiculous! The worst customer service I have ever had in my life! Unprofessional, liars, who try to deceive people, what a disgusting service -or should I say LACK of service.

TracFone Wireless won't process a debit payment for airtime on my prepaid triple minute phone.

I have spent 4 hours today 1-17-18 attempting to purchase airtime for my Tracfone. They keep insisting that the my debit card is declining, but my bank, Bank of America said there have been no attempts made to process any charge. I personally believe it has something to do with not wanting to sell the triple your minutes air cards, since the new thing is a cheaper card that in the fine print says it does not have triple minute options. during my last attempt by phone to get this resolved the agent tried to get me to submit a request to have my money refunded back to my bank account. She obviously did not understand English. I clearly stated 3-4 times that the bank said no charges were ever attempted. If they can't sell me the proper airtime plan..I want a refund for this phone because it is useless to me as is.

All of a sudden after 2 years of regular autofill my card is "declined" on my auto-refill every single month. My bank says no charges have been declined or attempted. It feels like a scam. I spent countless hours on the phone fixing it, they ended up double billing me, then declining it again 3 days later! Now a month later they are doing it again. I am afraid they have become too sketchy for me to continue with them.

Have had tracfone phones for many many years, and the past 4 years, they ALWAYS decline my card, no matter which one I use. I am so sick of them! Something just is not right at Tracfone!

TracFone Wireless samsung galaxy j7

I purchased a brand new Samsung Galaxy from QVC in June 2017. I have been having nothing but problems with the above phone I had spent hours chatting, and over the phone complaints I am now on my 4th phone every phone you receive from TracFone is a refurbished phone you never received a new phone. I am contacting the CEO of TracFone and the CEO of QVC advising them to think twice before selling their products on QVC period on Friday January 13th I contacted the corporate office out of frustration and spoke to one of the representative Ms. lovey she proceeded to go over the phone with me but unfortunately the third phone is now damaged so, so now I am on my 4th TracFone. I have never dealt with the company with such incompetency as I have with TracFone I will never purchase another TracFone nor will I ever recommend anyone to purchase one!

TracFone Wireless tracfone customer service

Tracfone customer service is the worst, they try there best to delay and keep you waiting and delaying to keep you in the dark. They are very good at switching off and closing out accounts so you have to create accounts over and over hoping you give up. 1/3/2018 called ask why my dashboard was blank (1) told to reinstall app did that! No help! Called back told to change my password (2) did that no help (3) called back got put on hold for every then some guy gets on and acts like he can't hear me. Hang up call back told to refresh my app reinstalled the app still could not get in. Gave up will tell every single person not to ever do business with tranfone! By the way I have over 1200 mail boxes on my route and everyone I see will hear me!

TracFone Wireless tracfone took away over 1400 minutes of talk, text and some data and refused to reinstate it.

On december 7, 2017 I activated a new tracfone. My old phone still had over 1400 minutes of talk and text as well as 0.25 gigs of data left on it and did not expire until january 22, 2018. With my new tracfone I got 1200 minutes of talk and text along with 1.2 gigs of data. Once the new tracfone was activated all the remaining balances were added to my new phone which gave me over 2600 minutes of talk, text and about 1.45 gigs of data. All was good! Then I get this e-mail from tracfone saying my phone had been disconnected. So, I go to my online account to check things out and before you know it, I had balances of zero for talk, text and data. I called tracfone the find out what is going on and after 3 hours on the phone and about 6 different people including a so-called manager, they would only give me back 1195 minutes of talk, 2608 text and 1.37 gigs of data. Some how they had lost track of everything that was transferred from my other phone and said my other phone had nothing left on it. I told them that I had a screen shot from my phone that showed my talk, text and data before it was all lost with the time, date stamp and my phone number on the my account tracfone app., but that did not matter they refused to give me back the time that was lost. This a total scam on the part of tracfone! How can they get away with stealing time off your phone that you have paid for? The so-called manager I last talked to virtually said this is what you are getting back, take it or leave it. He said there was nothing else tracfone would do to resolve the issue. This phone fraud on the part of tracfone and some need to take them to court.

I have attached a screen shot from my tracfone before the issue and another screen shot of what tracfone wanted to give me as a solution.

The last ticket number that tracfone gave me was [protected]

TracFone Wireless customer service

On November 11, 2017 bought my son an 120 min card. It did not go though. I called they told me that his Sims card expired. The minutes where sent to a phone he has not used in over 6months. After talking to 3 people the last man proceed to laugh at me, I told him if anything happened to my child that I was holding Tracfone responsible. they sent me a new sims, that was also expired after 3 weeks of this issue of sending and receiving sims not for his phone or expired. My husband and I bought him a new phone. Called them yet again. Got his number transferred to new phone after we hung up I noticed the 120 min card was not added. Called yet again to be told sorry but that card has been added to transfer. No it hasn't. After asking for a supervisor and being on hold for ten minutes they hung up on my.

I would like to be refunded the price of the new phone $ 59.00as well as the price $ 29.00 of the min card.
Really not impressed with Tracfone at this moment. I have been a user for almost ten years. If this is the way your company is ran I plain to get a different companies.

I had the exact same situation as someone else here. Ordered a phone on black Friday, it never came. Spent hours and hours on the phone with them, was told I would get an answer later in the day, never did, was told to wait 24-48 hours, did, called back, told to wait 3-5 days, did. Never got anything but empty promises. I was told the phone would be here today, but when I called today, they said that they were not sending the phone, and never would. They told me to reorder the phone, but it is now full price. They refuse not only to honor the original price, but to even let me speak with someone who had the power to do anything about this. I have read this same complaint from others on facebook. I think it was a big scam to get people to order phones, and then jack up the price and make them reorder them! I'm contacting my Senator, the FCC and the BBB.

TracFone Wireless tracfone

I purchased $21.00 of data last week. It was put in my phone within a 1/2 hour. Trouble is, within the next hour it was gone, along with all my texts and all my minutes! Just gone. I have called Chat help and am irate over the whole situation. I had 3000+ minutes and 10000+ texts. Chat help inferred that I was defrauding Tracfone and told me to call some fraud number. They should have been aware that with everything gone, I could make no phone calls.
I have been a Tracfone customer since 2005 except for a couple of years when I received another phone as a gift. I used it for a while but was anxious to get back to tracfone. In fact, I have a new Samsung Tracfone due tomorrow.
The live chat told me there was no record of my ever having minutes etc. They questioned, quite rudely, how I ever got so many minutes and texts. I have no idea...they've accumulated for years but how could I possibly defraud Tracfone? So, according to them, they cannot give me my numbers back cause there's no record I ever had them.
Then, last night I see in my bank account that the money for the data I just purchased has been deducted from my account and yet, I have no data!
There's something seriously wrong here and I feel I am the one being defrauded. I have always sung the praises of Tracfone to people...now look at what happened to me.
They tell me to call again tonight but, I've called 2 nights already, been over 2 1/2 hours on the phone and gotten nowhere...just insulted.
The first agent, Phillipp, told me everything was fixed abd to call back in 24 hours. I gave him and tracfone an excellent review. Then, I call 24 hours later, talk to Jorje, and he had no idea whatvwas happening. Very, very frustrating. Then to give me numbers to call when I can't make any calls.
Can anybody here help me. I'm an 82 year old woman, house bound and depend on my phone for all access to the outside world. I am sick over this whole thing. To be called a liar by people who are supposedly there to help me is crushing. They never actually said I was a liar but their comments about my minutes etc. definitely said that.

TracFone Wireless not providing service paid for

Bought a new tracfone in Nov. 2017 to replace an older tracfone with a unreliable battery. Called to have new phone activated and my existing number and minutes transferred to the new phone. My new phone would not work properly in my residence and I was then directed to a higher level tech person (manager?). Meanwhile my account was inactivated and my existing number and minutes associated with my older tracfone were removed. I spoke to the higher level person at Tracfone and explained I had difficulty with reception on my new phone and the problem with the disappearing phone number and minutes. He explained that he would sent a different sim card and he indicated that I had one thousand twelve minutes associated with my inactivated account and that he would release 100 minutes of the total minutes to allow me to use the new phone while I waited for the sim card. The sim card arrived late yesterday 11/30/17 and I contacted tracphone today and they were again not resolving the issue. In total, I have spent the last two weeks or so, and countless hours on the phone attempting to resolve this issue to no avail. I now have a new phone that doesn't work (it was deactivated), I have no minutes showing in my inactivated account and I have no tracfone phone number to use.

yep the same here, I have been on the phone for almost 2 1/2 hours just this morning and the 2900 minutes I paid for will not be transferred. Customer service is the WORST. And you can NOT get to a higher up than a regular manager to plead your case. They get your money and say Sc@#w off. Whats sad is I have been with them for 5 years with no conflict. But guess I will just change to another BAD company (they all bite) right?

TracFone Wireless phone

I wanted my phone unlocked, I was told I had to wait till the 1st of nov. 2017 which was one month away. I called on the 3rd of nov. to get my phone unlocked so I could move to another provider. I was told they could not find my account and would have to put in some sort of request to another department but would speed it up but it would take 48 to 72 hrs. To complete it.
I called back after the 72 hrs. And was told they could not unlock the phone for the same reasons as before and that they would put in a request to another dept. To get it done, and again it would take another 48 to 72 hrs.
I'm sick and tired of this company and their customer service which is nothing but a [censor] joke starting with the recording that tells you to press 1 for english!...
These people make you want to scratch your own eyes out their're so inept.

My contact was cancel with safelink because they didn't get the TWO re certification I sent them. I was told I had to start from scratch and reapply for service. I did this on the 1 Oct and was told it would take 7-10 business days to get an application. I never received it. I contacted them on the 18th ... and was told I had to start from scratch again and was told to wait another 7-10 business days for another application ... 7-10 business days when by ... still no application.
