I have been a satisfied customer of Tracfone since 2011. Until lately, that is, when I discovered Tracfone is about to steal my money.
In June 2016 I was induced to buy a smart phone by the promise of “unlimited carryover” “unused talk, text and data that never expires.”
Well, that was out and out fraud as I have discovered that my account has a service end date of June 20, 2017, after which my phone will go dead unless I spend more money.
I currently have 1211 minutes, 1169 texts, and 1.15GB, enough to last me a couple of more years without buying any additional capacity. Yet, that will all be stolen from me.
I have spoken with customer service lackeys and the response is essentially “buy more or no phone.”
On May 26, 2017 I wrote to Kevin Gulbranson, Sr VP Product Management with the above complaint. Three weeks and no response. No surprise there.
Unfortunately, I am stuck with purchasing more time from Tracphone to avoid being robbed and as I have not found another cell phone service as cheap. But I will dump Tracphone as soon as I find something better.
Those of you who have choices I suggest boycotting Tracfone until Tracfone's fatcat executives wake up to the consumer dissatisfaction.

They keep shutting off my service to force me to upgrade to a new phone their tech told me. They robbed my 1100 carry over minutes, then they unauthorized bill my C.C. . Liars and Thives stole my minutes and shut off my in good standing phone costing me much bussiness and headache of 5 hours on the phone with them for just promices broken , Liars and thieves. i need to reverse my C.C. payment now and go to another company, im am out money and have no working phone. s****.>

I went to the chat as instructed and got the same BS that I got before.
My complaint has not been resolved.
