I have ample minutes and days. Battery is fully charged. Every call I have tried in the last month. I get the error message telling me that call cannot be completed..-34 is error message although the phone shows all bars visible. I like the idea of TracFone but a phone is not good if you can't make calls. The entire error message states "check call restrictions-34".. the last time I purchased an additional minutes card, I had to try several times before I could even reach TracFone to add the minutes and days to my phone.. not very happy! 12979df

Check call restrictions even with 800 minutes and 300 service days trying to call from the same location I have been calling with the same phone for months. They are probably pulling some sort of scam and since we can't rely on our jew government to deal with the corrupt business practices, we have no choice but to begin the process of starting the 4th reich. |
| 2. Written by Jeff on January 22, 2012 from dallas, texas, US I tried to use my tracfone yesterday at Dulles International Airport. I bought a prepaid fone cause I'm out of country for most of the year. I thought this would be an inexpensive alternative to placing collect calls in airports while traveling. This is totally unacceptable. |

| 4. Written by Jan Freeman on December 8, 2011 from higden, arkansas, US I need to make a call to France right now and the guy that set up the code for me clearly messed something up and it will take yet another 3 hours to fix it, this is all so frustrating, are these people just in business to collect money and not give service?, you pay inbound and outbound fees and that includes their service. |
| 5. Written by Jay on November 7, 2011 from west covina, california, US Aren't these phones At&t network? My Samsung phone works fine in my home area, I traveled today and got this error 34 junk. I'm not sure if it was a roaming issue or what, but call icon had a slash through it and it did exactly what you guys are saying. As soon as I got close to Shreveport where I live, it went away and I could use the phone again. Not cool at all, THIS is why I wanted a phone in the first place. |
| 6. Written by Call restriction -34 on October 7, 2011 from toledo, ohio, US I got the same message on my tracphone. I was able to call out AFTER THE SIGNAL WAS REGAINED. In my area, we have a donut hole where no cell signals penetrate. Thst is in Toledo, Swan Creek Park area. All sports of people have issues, from Verizon, to AT&T, to Revol. Sprint also had issues before i got this one. However, you must make sure you are getting the signal, regardless of what the signal display says. And yes, the customer service is lacking, ever since TracFone become the "ObamaFone." TracFone doesn't care, since it's guaranteed income from our tax dollars.... isn't that what our free 250 minutes for welfare and fake SSDI claimants is? God us working folks should be just as lucky to get a booty call phone, and whatever irresponsible act we want phone too. Other cell companies are also becoming "ObamaFones" now to. Watch to make sure your prepaid carriers ARE NOT "ObamaFone," to get the best service. |
| 7. Written by scoop on September 22, 2011 from columbus, ohio, US Got Error message Restrictions -34. I called and got a phone line where my voice echoed. Service rep was in very noisy room. English was not her first language -- she kept asking me to repeat my address. Finally after 18:57 she told me my phone was out of warranty and I had to get a new one. I said it wouldn't be a TracFone so I wanted my minutes refunded (I still have 68 days) -- she said that was impossible. |

Written by tom on September 13, 2011 from -, -, US I called the customer support center and the guy told me I needed a new phone and the Samsung phones were bad..after 10 minutes I was disconnected I called back and the new customer service representative gave me quite a few codes to put in I tried it and it seemed to work so I'm going to wait and see what happens |
