tracfone scam

Ok so I think tracfones are great. Pay as you go and no monthly bills. Whoo oooo what excitement. So The tracfone I had doesn't shut off so I go to get a new one and it is a really cool looking one. It is in a store about 25 miles from my house. Anyway, here I am sitting home trying to get this thing to work and after a long battle, I succumb and call tracfone headquarters. What I am told is this model will not work in my area. Hmmmm, sounds stupid, and I don't really care about the technical aspects of it. Anyway, bring it back for refund and life goes on.

I get another model like this later and I am assured by the clerk that it will work in my area. This is from another suburb in the opposite direction of the other model. Ok so it sits in my desk for a month before I get the nerve to try it. And this time i'm going to use the internet to gain an additional 20 minutes. I proceed with caution but I startled to find everything going smooth. Every one of the thousand numbers works carefully . there is only a brief delay when my birthdate didn't go in, but anyway I finally get to the end with the congratulatory comments at the end. I am elated at my sucess. The website says to try the phone number to make sure the phone works properly. I make the call and CRASH!!!!!!It does not work . it will not work in my area. I lost the minutes I put on the phone, I've gone to hell. After about 30 minutes I recover and now wonder what to do with this useless phone
