DO NOT BUY A TRACFONE !!!! June 14, 2008 5 out of 15 found this review helpful
Can't review the phone because after one week of dealing with tracfone service reps phone still does not have a functioning phone number.God help you if you need to use their 800 number,you better be able to speak spanish because not many of their employees have a working knowledge of English.Have spoken with at least 10 different people at tracfone and have replaced sim card 4 times and phone is still unusable.STAY AWAY,VERY FAR AWAY !!
Only good to be used at home and they are STEALING YOUR IDENTITY June 12, 2008 1 out of 9 found this review helpful
The connection is good only at home. 20 miles away from home, you get connection only by LUCK. Do NOT depend on it.
To add airtime from Tracfone is extremely painful:
If add it from their website (most of time it ends up ERROR and ask you to call the service representative), the webpage asks a lot of unnecessary information, then sends hundreds digits you have to key in to your cell phone.
If add it thru calling their service representative, the representative will try to STEAL YOUR IDENTITY by ask you all unrelated information. Besides credit card and your cell phone ID, they ask: * Name * Address * Other cell phone numbers * Social Security Number!!!!!!!!!!!!! * Birthday?????????????????
If you refuse to answer the question, they will argue that 'Our System Requires It'. Who cares about their system? I do care about my own IDENTITY SAFETY.
However, if you still want to jump into the trap, there is a way to beat their stealing: ***** Besides credit number and you cell phone ID, give them all FAKE information. ****
I tried the strategy, and it works
Great Pre-paid Cell Phone May 26, 2008 10 out of 10 found this review helpful
I love this Tracfone. I just wanted a phone in case of emergenices, and this fits the bill. I did't need all the frills of the expensive phones (texting, camera, web access) and didn't want to pay over $40 per month for a phone like most people do, so this phone was perfect. I got the double minutes for life card and that is definately worth it. So it only costs 10 cents per minute. I don't have a problem adding time to it, I can buy time over the internet easily. The reception is pretty good, sometimes I get some static, but mostly not. I love the sleek look of this phone - it doesn't look like a "pre-paid" phone. The only thing I wish it had was a display on the outside - you have to open it up to see who's calling. But otherwise, great phone for a great price.
W370 from Tracfone May 26, 2008 2 out of 4 found this review helpful
The phone is nice, but the USB data connectivity port is disabled. The double minutes for life is a very nice feature.
W370 Issues...? April 5, 2008 3 out of 13 found this review helpful
I currently use a V176 cell phone that was "hot" in 2005. And I too had a lot of "issues" with the "internet" I believe its a marketing issue that pre-paid cell phone don't truly offer "internet" access but intra-net to the main site for its ringtones, and services. That's the "nutshell" from pre-paid, and contract agreement. You get what you pay for!
Sadly, most of the phones don't have much "room" on pre-paid unless you are a professional hacker who can "upgrade" the phone's memory to handle the internet. I wouldn't want internet anyway, I'd rather download the ringtone I want to my pc, and use a mini-usb / usb connector adaptor to "load" to the phone direct with the right software. I'd get with some corporate executives or technical engineers to send me a CD or a web link to download the phone connection software so I can connect my pc to my phone, download the ringtone I want, and load it to the phone directly. If I can't do that, then better get enough lawyers who are versed in cell phone laws to convince otherwise. If you happen to know of the Motorola Technical Engineers or Upper Crust management to make this happen, let all of us "peons" know! :) It would be great if the Motorola Corporation would get out of the clouds and be able to fix any issues that need fixing. :)
I'd buy this phone from NET-10 simply because of the flexibility of the network, and being pre-paid you get what you pay for. Much like a Motel-6 commercial.. Clean, comfortable room, leaves the light on for you, and basic cable package. Get what you pay for. If you want frills and thrills, then go to Holiday Inn, or Ramada, or Best Western. :)
At any rate, if I wanted internet service, I'd make sure the phone can handle today's webpages. I'd suggest to the marketing reps for any cell phone company. Don't promise what you won't deliver. Don't say one thing, and not provide reasonable service or guarantee.
