Contact Tracfone Corporate

I called in to change my phone number of my TracFone I followed the steps I never did receive the text and it never changed my phone number. When I kept trying to call it back I got a recording saying I had to pay for my call or there was an error making the call and telling me to reboot which I did..so I got on a different phone. I called and a guy got who was very polite went through a bunch of steps got the phone number changed he tried calling my phone it would not work.went through numerous steps of entering long codes Into it then my lock screen came up while we were still on the phone together trying to get it to take calls...the phone does not recognize my passcode for my lock screen. the correct passcode was put in many times so now I'm told my only options are buy a new phone plus I lose all my text messages. I don't have the money at this time for a new phone so now I have no phone and I've lost important information!!
all I wanted to do with change my phone number instead I lose important text messages and I have no phone. I'm just SOL and supposed to go purchase another phone!!

Accidently, inactivated Tracfone and when reactivated, lost 600 minutes.

Passed around with 4 different representatives for over three hours and was finally hung up on and still lost 600 rollover minutes.

The supervisor hung up and me when I asked for his name because he was being rude when I called back they refused to provide his name and gave me an address to mail a letter of complaint

I have been a customer of TracFone for many years now and have recommended you to many of my friends.

Just recently I have had a problem and contacted customer service twice, and all I can say is your customer service department is in serious need of help! I have been in the business world for many years, in Human Resources to be exact, and if we conducted business the way your customer service department does, all of us would have been fired!

I simply tried to adjust a bill and get a simple $19.79 recurring charge removed and it has been a nightmare! Just a while ago I talked to a service rep and was put on hold for close to 30 minutes, and eventually the phone call dropped off. NOW I HAVE TO START ALL OVER AGAIN EXPLAINING MY PROBLEM ANOTHER TIME TO SOMEONE ELSE! I just don't understand how this has turned into such a big problem.

I will, once again, try another time to resolve this issue. I just needed to explain this to you so you are aware that some retraining needs to be done.

Thank you for listening. And BTW, I half expected, optimistically of course, that someone MIGHT call me back since they have my cell # and my landline, but of course, that was wishful thinking. I will gather my strength and mental acuity and try again another time.

9802292843 … 3 days ago I misplace my phone, so I deactivate my service. Since finding my phone I have been thru HELL trying to my service reactived.. First I was told my IMEI did not match, I gave them the number off the back of the phone and the red card. Second I gave them the only 2 activation zip codes, I had in the last 8 years, neither was correct. Third I gave them the numbers off a new card for minutes and was told I needed a new phone and number. I chatted with feedback online im unable to go to a pay phone.

Please Help,

I have been a tracfone customer for several years and I have never been as disappointed as now. Tell me why you send out promotion offers and don't honor them. I recieved in the mail an offer if I purchased a one year card I would recieve 1300 total minutes with promo code 95322. When I applied the code it said call 18008677183, which I did. The 1st person named David after talking with me for awhile hung up on me, so I called back and talked to a Dewanna well that didn't go well either. To make a long story short instead of recieving the 1300 minutes like I was suppose to get I ended up with 800 minutes. Also in the mail an extra 40 minutes promotion code 73854 to use before the end of Dec. because of my birthday so I said as long as the first code didn't work try 73854 code for my birthday that code didn't work either. After being on the phone for over 1/2 hour and getting nowhere. I asked to speak with a superviser I was never connected. When my minutes are up I'm not sure if I will renew. Very very poor service.

It was so sad that I couldn't get not one person with a good attitude, to assist me with the help I needed. That's not government approved! It was so unprofessional of all 13 rep's that answered my call tonight. I called at 6:08pm, went on www.safelink.com and www.checklifeline.org three times. Completed the same applications over and over again and got no results to my solutions. At the very end and 11:00pm I was told in order to activate the replacement phone I had to still either WAIT 7-10 business days, when I've already had to wait 5-7 business days to receive this replacement phone, to get this new one activated.... That's evil, in if the government is handling business like this to older people. We all have to pay taxes, but you guy's president don't??? Cause gods eyes are on everyone!!! So I was at the end of the call when this rude lady asked for my card number, exp, name on the card and cvc on the back. I gave her all that and made sure she had it all right. She tells me it will be $15.00, when at 1st it was $10.00 for 200 mins and etc. that will last for 30 days. "I say,ok"! She came back to the phone and said your card declined..... I know that's a lie, so I say ok one minute. As I pull up my account online, little did she know, I was doing so.. I said,what declined? cause I'm looking at my account as we speak now. In there's completely no reason it should've declined????? "She said, hello, hello are you there?" I said, oh yes, I'm here, are you there? "She said again, hello, hello are you still there?" I said my phone is not on mute, I can hear you very well and I know you can here me!! She listened to everything I was saying after her replies, than she hung up the phone on me.. That's awful but I'm watching my account too... Now I have to go in get a calling card in the morning to load on my phone and call the corporate office in the morning, cause now I don't even need the free minutes.. they making money off us using their services, but act like they are giving it to us for free.. Ain't nothing free in this world! It's very few people with good heart's and godly, that will honestly help for free..

Worst company I've ever had to deal with. What a total waste of time even trying to talk to them. I was connected to an overseas office with 5 different operators. Not one was of any help. I finally contacted someone in Miami (Mary?) who hung up the phone when explained my issue. I called back and an extremely rude operator connected me to a supposed supervisor I could barely understand. My issue was never fully resolved. I wasted almost two hours with a bunch of untrained, unhelpful @#%@#s. I think it's time to switch to a better service. I never want to have to deal with this company again! No one should ever be treated the way TracFone treats its customers! With any luck you'll go out of business and do everyone a favor!

Since I became a TracFone customer I have been unable to have my caller ID changed to "Paul Mendy". I very much want/need that change to be made. Please have my caller ID updated!!!

Prior to joining TracFone my phone number was part of my son-in-law's multiple line ATT plan. When I decided to change my phone service to TracFone I transferred my pre-exiting phone number (716-430-8055) to TracFone. Shortly after that change I was told hat the caller ID showed my son-in-law's name (Brian Mastrangelo). Since then I have repeatedly tried to get the caller ID changed to my name via calls to TracFone Customer Service. In each case I was told it would be taken care of only to find out that it wasn't changed. Please do what's necessary to make "Paul Mendy" my caller ID.

Also, when I call Tracfone customer service I end up talking to offshore phone centers. Today, on 3 occasions, I requested a customer service phone number for a call center in the United States. In each case I was put on hold and eventually the call was dropped or recycled to the original phone menu I called in the first place. It is my understanding that I have a right to request customer service center in the United States. Why wasn't I given a US contact number?

I am on the life line and every month for the past 3 months track phone will not give my 750 min and even tho I buy a card and track phone says not any time on my phone

I PURCHASED A GALAXY j7 PRO TRAC PHONE AND ONE YEAR AIR TIME CARD OFF TRAC FONE WEB SITE ORDER NUMBER 13339933 AND HAD THE PHONE FOR A TOTAL OF TWO DAYS AND AFTER TALKING TO 5 TRACFONE REPS AND 8 HOURS LATER THEY COULD NOT GET THE PHONE TO WORK THE LAST REP ADVISED ME TO SEND THE PHONE AND AIR TIME CARD BACK FOR CREDIT, I GOT CREDIT ON MY CREDIT CARD FOR THE PHONE BUT NOT FOR THE ONE YEAR AIR TIME CARD OF $125.00 , I THINK I AM ENTITLED TO THE $125.00 ALSO SINCE I COULD NOT USE THE PHONE WHICH I RETURNED. TRACKING NUMBER 1309 1040 0001 3617 6372 I MIGHT ADD THAT I HAVE BEEN A CUSTOMER OF TRACFONE FOR YEARS AND NEVER ENCOUNTERED ANY PROBLEMS UNTIL NOW

Wife and I bought two LG Tracfones from a well known home shopping network several years ago.Several weeks ago my wife's phone froze up, could not do anything to fix the problem. The very next day my phone did the exact same thing. Both phones would no swipe left or right, up or down,
numerous attempts to reboot both phones failed, as soon as the home screen appeared, it went black each time.Thinking back about something that I heard on the internet, stated that in late October or early November the U.S. Gov't was going to disable certain android phones and the the owners would never be able to use them again.
I contacted Tracfone after both phones failed and spoke to three different Techs and one supervisor. None of them had a clue. I rate Tracfone as a one on the scale of 1 to 5 and would rate it lower than that if I could !

I ordered a fone order number12959646 over 10 days and yet to receive it. Fed ex claims to have come by and could not leave order. I watched the van pull across my drive and pull away without coming to my door and leave no message or anything and then post it as no one home. They claimed this for 4 trips and then stopped coming by. Calls to FedEx were useless. I am Fed up with FedEx.I'll never use them again.See if u can find my order and ship it USPS or ups please. Tracking number 652024372687932. If i ever get maybe I'll order again.

I am writing this letter to explain why, after twenty years as your customer, I am no longer. On August 21, 2018, I received in the US Mail an ad titled “Come back to TracFone today” and offering me an amazing offer. I ignored this offer because I never left TracFone. The next day my phone was deactivated. I had 237 minutes and 130 day service on my phone at the time. Over the next six business days not one of the ten people that I contacted could tell why it was deactivated.
Here is the time line of what transacted over those six days.
8/22/2018 – Called 1-800-867-7183 at 5:30 PM and explained the problem that my phone had no service. I was told that my phone was deactivated. I asked that it be reactivated with my phone number 309-868-6119. After 45 minutes with this person I was told that it was not a good number and I was transferred to Gary. I asked for his telephone number 1-866-806-1840 in case I was disconnected. After 30 minutes with Gary he was unable to help me because there was no record of my number so he was “going to elevate this problem to a higher level.” I asked him for that phone number but he said that their policy was not to give extension numbers within their organization, but he would transfer me. I received a busy signal and had to hang up and start over again with the 1-800-806-1840 which was a different person so I had to start the explanation all over again.
Now it is 6:45 PM and I was connected to Barry. I don’t know his phone number because of company policy. I explained that I wanted my phone reactivated with my 309=868-6119 number. He was very helpful and after some time he was able to activate my phone. I called my wife to make sure that the phone worked, it did. You would think my trouble was over: but no it was not. Barry activated my phone with a different number 309-868-4808. I did not have Barry’s phone number so I had to start all over again.
Now it is 7:00 PM and called again 1-866-806-1840 and asked to talk to the supervisor. He was no help but did transfer me to Belshazzar. Now I thought I was getting somewhere. I did get his phone number 1-800-626-4883 Ext 3324. He was going to write a report explaining my request and send it to a higher level. I would receive a notice via email within 24 hours. If I did not receive notice call him back.
August 24, 2018 7:00 PM. The email did not arrive so I called 1-800-626-4883 Ext 3324 and Barry answered the phone. Things did not go well the last time I talked to a guy named Barry so I asked for his supervisor. He never heard of anyone named Belshazzar or any report so He transferred me to Carlos and he was no help. At this time I may have mentioned that I was going to get my phone activated with my phone number of 20 years even if I had to call your Vice President. He transferred me to Roth who said that she was at the Corporate Office. Roth transferred me to Joanna. Now I was getting somewhere, she at least must have read Belshazzar’s report because she did not have me start over again. After some systems inquiries she came up with a solution. A new SIM card would be mailed to me within five working days with instruction on how to activate my phone. She gave me a problem ticket number 1189539589 to reference in case there was a problem. I received the new SIM card the next business day. It was great service. It looked like I was going to get my phone working and my old phone number.
August 27 3:00 PM Enclosed with the SIM card was instructions titled “Wonderful News your SIM card is her.” It instructed me to call 1-800-867-7183 to activate my phone. I was so excited that I did not ask the ladies name that helped but there was a problem. She said “another department would have to join my Phone number 309-868-6119 to the new SIM card”. It would take 24 hours and please call back.
August 28, 2018 4:00 PM. Called 1-800-867-7183 again I did not get the name of the contact, I was going to get my phone back. No record of that phone number, no record of my phone serial number. I asked to talk to her supervisor. Jayean informed me that my number was being recycled and could not be issued because it had been used by someone. I was getting quite angry now and told him that, that someone was me. I then said very excitedly that I was going to get my phone number back if I had to go to your Vice President and his reply was, “I am as high as you can go.’ I told him that TracFone had just lost a customer and I was going to tell everyone I know including my new service provider, Verizon, about your customer service.

First complaint I contacted tech services not only were they extremely hard to understand and of very little help Zero.
But she wanted to change my phone number which would have made things worse for me and not helped.

I bought a new card on Thursday Sept.28th, 2017, for 60 minutes, paid $19.99, I got home & entered the numbers off the back after scratching off the protective film, as I have done for the last 10 yrs or so that I have been using tracfone svs, & it did not take & give me my minutes or days, so I called & finally got a person, after one disconnecting me...told him what happened, gave him the new set of #'s, he got them working & they appeared on my phone, so I thought it was taken care of. Then yesterday, Sunday the 1st day of Oct...I used it & all was ok....until yesterday evening & when I went to use it , it said "Activation required", all my contacts, #'s, everything was deleted from my phone...so I called again today, I was on the phone total for over an hour, on hold, till a person, named Michelle, came on & I explained what had happened & she said hold on she w/chk it out....waited another 20 minutes until a recording came on & I did not understand it, telling me to make a copy of my battery, sending a letter of some sort as this was my phone etc??? I am very disgusted with Tracfone, have never had a problem until this year, & this happened maybe the last time & had to call for them to put # in manually. I am an honest person & I want my phone activated back up or someone to contact me with a reason why this has happened. My cell # is 304-543-8259.

I have an older Trac Phone. When I called, I was told that if I purchased a refill card, the phone would work. I purchased the $20 card and installed it. IT DID NOT WORK.
I called ELEVEN TIMES before I was told that the phone had been deactivated ?
The 12th time They tried SEVEN times to give me a code to put in the phone. Same response every time " invalid Code-6.
The person spoke with her supervisor, cmae back and said the phone would work now, despite my concerns that it could not possibly work, and the phone says service disabled now.
There was over 586 minutes on that phone and the $ 20 card I was duped into buying, Not to mention the loss of all my minutes on the phone used to try to get this one to work. One supervisor told me not to hang up, he would be back, and thirty minutes later, he did not. I find it a little hard to believe that a company could operate this way, knowingly.
I would greatly appreciate it if this matter could be resolved, at your earliest convenience.
Now I have TWO PHONES t6hat do not work. I am also disabled on a very limited income, and continually buying minutes and phones is out of the question.
It also states that I must attempt to contact customer service before a formal complaint with Arbitration. I would assume the 12 calls would qualify as trying to contact customer service..

Tracfone gives the worst customer service I have encountered. When calling to add airtime the associates are like robots- not helpful at all. It takes up valuables time arguing with them about buying airtime. It was a nitemare calling for airtime. I think that the company with do itself a favor by better training and making a purchase call easier for customers. They do not care to help people at all. I am throwing phone out and going to go elsewhere.

Bought new Motorola Moto E Smartphone for TracFone service (from Amazon). Transferred minutes from old basic Tracfone to new phone, then activated the new phone with customer service rep "on air" activation, Then added additional minutes for a total plan minutes of 1365 minutes on 7/10/16. As I'm on vacation, few calls are being made or received. Only one voice mail in my log. On 7/23/16 pm, I noticed a significant decrease in my account minutes. It was showing less than 1100 mins remaining. I called the TracFone customer service number & reported the issue.

They advised I keep a journal to track my account closely. I did that. Twenty-four hours later mins had decreased 55 minutes, with the only phone use being 2 texts. I called this 2nd time & again reported. They changed some acct settings & had me "re-activate" the phone. The next morning, the call minutes had decreased 28 minutes, with no calls made, nor received. I called 3rd time, and a tech guy had me test the phone by sending myself a text. I sent myself a text, and when we reviewed my account my call minutes had gone down.

He again adjusted account settings & had me re-activate the phone. The following morning, my call minutes had decreased 33 minutes, with no calls made, nor received. Phone now showed 978 mins remaining. At this rate the phone's minutes will be zero in 30 days, without making, nor receiving calls. I transferred the remaining minutes back to my old basic phone. TracFone has replaced/credited my min for 30 minutes. Their tech support is not adequate, and their concern for long term customers is non-existent.

I've been a TracFone customer for 10+ years. Never had this poor experience before. What's really sad is I've completed three 'experience surveys' with them, detailing the problem encountered, and they've yet to respond in any way to them.
