TracFone - 90* waste of time.

At 2:00pm I'm calling asking for help to upgrade my phone, all that foreign *** wanted to do was sell me another phone and the it could be serviced. The man I talked to yesterday told me to take it to best buy. They could upgrade it for me. To TracFone, thanks for nothing. (As usual). I'm sorry I ever chose TracFone! They help when they're in the mood to.

When I originally started with Tracfone I had trouble with the cheap phone models ( I tried two of them) so I purchased what was the top of the line Tracfone with qwerty keyboard, triple minutes and an acceptable still and video camera. I've now accumulated 3000...

This is a bit of a saga, so bear with me. About a year and a half ago, I realized I couldn't make/receive texts or calls. When I called Tracfone, a customer service rep told me my phone had been deactivated because I had been using Google Voice. I have never used...
