      Since Tracfone is not allowing me to order a replacement phone from them. They are telling me I must purchase a "plan" first which I do not need. I have service for nine for years. I am not throwing that away. So I am asking Tracfone to compensate me for the misery they put me through. I am 74 years old. I have no phone to use. If a emergency comes up and I can't get help. I am solely putting that responsibility on Tracfone!

      I am rejecting this response because:

      I did not ask for compensation of any kind. Read the complaint.  It was solely about Tracfone not allowing me to replace my phone with a purchase on their website.  I have purchased a phone since from another source.  Walmart.   I appreciate the help you gave me.  And all the phone calls.  But you Tracfone got it all wrong!  Over and out.  I don't need to hear from you again.

      I had a basic phone plan with total wireless. We have been having issues with text messages going through for a few months and they could never fix it. I chatted with an agent and they suggested upgrading to unlimited data. I have two phone lines. The agent said I would only have to pay for the upgrade on one phone and the other one would as free. They said it would only increase my bill by $15.00 a month. Once the upgrade processed I was charged for both lines. I contacted customer service and asked them to honor what the agent told me. They even confirmed the agent informed me I would only have to pay for one line. I would like them to honor the written price they offered me. My phones are both working now and if I downgrade my phones I assume the text will not work again. I would like ***** to honor the price increase of $15 not $30 for both lines.

      Dear ******* *********:

      We have received and reviewed your Better Business Bureau complaint. This response is in reference to your correspondence dated June 27, 2025, regarding BBB Case number ******** complaint.

      Your complaint states that you were having issues with your text messages that were not resolved, and that you were advised to upgrade your current plan. You were informed that your bill would only increase $15 every month, since the other line would have an upgraded plan for free. However, the bill increased for both lines, and the initial bill mentioned, was not honored.

      In our review, we found two lines in your accounts with phone number ending in 5539 and 4306. Both lines are now active with the Total Wireless $40 service plan, which includes unlimited talk, text and data. Usage records indicate the both phones working properly. On the other hand, we could not find details regarding a reported issue with text messaging.

      We spoke with your wife *****, via phone number ************ on 06/30/2025 and 07/02/2025. We discussed about the status of both phones, and informed you that the price increase was due to changing your service plan from the $25 unlimited talk, text and 1 GB of data to the $40 service plan with talk, text and unlimited data. Nonetheless, you indicated that since you were told the price increase would be only $15 you want to receive a discount. We offered the option to go back to the previous $25 service plan; however, you mentioned that you do not want to continue with our assistance.

      We appreciate your feedback regarding the negative customer service experience. We value customer feedback to support future improvements. We apologize for any inconvenience the customer may have experienced and will do our best to prevent similar issues from occurring in the future.

      I am rejecting this response because I was quoted a price by the business by an agent and I would like the company to honor that price. 

      I have worked with the company for countless hours trying to fix the text issue and it only resolved once we upgraded the plan. There would be no reason to downgrade if I was going to have text issues again. 

      Thank you!

      On June 13, 2025, I ordered a reconditioned Iphone and a plan from Tracfone for $106.72. They did not tell me that the phone was on backorder. I contacted them last week via chat and I was told that I could not get a refund until the phone shipped. However, they still do not have the phone. I would like a full refund, since they do not have the phone in stock.

      I activated my ********************* in March 2025 on my ************* 2020 using a 1-year plan, which I fully paid for at the time. My phone and service were working fine until June 2025, when it suddenly stopped making calls or sending texts. I contacted Straight Talk customer support and was told my phone was originally from Metro, and because Straight Talk now uses *******, I needed to buy a new *** card to continue using their network. I went to ******* and bought a Straight ************ BYOP *** card kit, then contacted support again to activate it. Ive contacted customer service multiple times, receiving conflicting answers one agent said activation would take 30 minutes, another said 24 hours. Its now been over a week, and I still have no working phone service, even though I paid for a full year. The agent had me test the *** in another phone to see if it worked, and it did but now they refuse to reactivate it on my *************, saying its "locked" to the other phone I tested it in. I was not warned that testing the *** would lock it to that device. Ive followed every instruction they gave me, and Im now left with working service but on the wrong device and no resolution. I want my number released and my paid service refunded. I paid $329 for the year plan. I wouldn't mind getting the remaining months refunded but I would prefer the whole refund if possible.

      Ordered a phone from straight talk wireless approximately 2 weeks ago. Was told via chat that remote fulfillment would take 3 business days. That was over a week ago. My order is still stuck in "Pending Remote Fulfillment". I was put on hold for over 2 hours - never got to speak to a person. Each chat customer service person has said they can not provide a timeline for how long my order will be stuck in the warehouse pending fulfillment and that I cannot cancel my order.

      Customer Answer

      Date: 06/27/2025

      Straight talk called me or had a robot call me and I missed the call. I tried calling and opted for a call back and was told my wait time would be greater than 30 minutes to speak to a customer service representative - an actual person. Over an hour later a Straight talk support number called me back but it was a robot and I have been on hold for over 30 minutes. No person. Just on hold indefinitely. Straight talk is a scam.

      Dear ***** *********:

      We have received and reviewed your Better business bureau complaint. This response is in reference to your correspondence dated June 26, 2025, regarding BBB Case number # ******** complaints.

      Your complaint states that you redeemed an extra data using your points on 6/20/2025,and purchased an add-on data on 6/24/2025; however, it went into another section of your account which you dont have access to. In addition, you were informed that the data you purchased had been redeemed and was lost, and it is non-refundable.

      In our review, your account has multiple active lines. On 06/21/2025, you contacted customer support and requested to redeem 1000 points to get a $10 Add-on Data plan, which included 3GB of data to the account, which IMEI (serial number) ends in 6335. Furthermore, you purchased another $10 data card of 3GB data on 06/24/2025.

      Our records show that you requested to transfer the phone number ending in 5087 on 06/25/2025 to another device, with an IMEI number ending in 5529 per reference ticket number **********. Based on the usage records we reviewed for the account ending in 6335 from 06/21/2025 until 06/25/2025, it indicates that only 3GB of data were consumed.

      If you are experiencing service issues, please note that within coverage zones,interruptions may occur, resulting in dropped calls, slow data speeds, or connectivity issues. These disruptions can be caused by various factors,including the customers device, network changes, traffic volume, outages,signal strength, terrain, weather, and other environmental conditions.

      Furthermore, please know that upgrading to a new internal platform might affect ******* Network customers during common transactions such as activations,reactivations, or redemptions. This caused the new service transferred not to be properly provisioned, resulting in the incorrect data balance removal. We apologize for the recent issues that you may have experienced with their service. We issued a $20 plan with unlimited talk and text, 4GB of data for 30 days per reference number **********, ending with a total of 5.95GB, and unlimited calls and texts.

      We attempted to contact you multiple times via phone number ************ and have sent emails to? ************************* on 06/26/2025, 06/27/2025,07/01/2025, 07/03/2025 and 07/06/2025. Although we were unable to reach you by phone, you responded to our emails requesting a callback, reporting issues with receiving service and asking for a complete refund of the monthly plan, 6GB data plus taxes and fees. As of now, we have not received any further communication from you. However, please note that TracFone Terms and Conditions indicate, that Airtime plans, used or unused, are non-refundable.

      Speaking with you directly would be the best way to properly address your concern and discuss about the requested refund. Tracfone Wireless is committed to an outstanding customer experience and prides itself on providing reliable service that is accessible to all.

      Dear ***** *********:

      We have received and reviewed your Better Business Bureau complaint. This response is in reference to your correspondence dated 7/15/2025, regarding BBB Case number ******** complaint.

      Your follow-up complaint states that you used your points to redeem an add-on data on 6/20/2025, and purchased an add-on data card on 6/24/2025, which went to a different section of your account. You were informed that the data you redeemed was lost, and could not be refunded.

      As per our previous response, we confirmed that the 3GB add-on data you purchased on 6/21/2025 and 6/24/2025, was added to your phone number ending in 5087, which was then associated to a phone with IMEI number ending in 6335. We also determined that out of the 6GB data balance in your account, only 3 GB were used, before the account got deactivated due to phone number transfer request on 6/25/2025. Nonetheless, the remaining data balance was added to the new phone. Furthermore, we confirmed that the data usage from your last redemption coincides with the remaining data balance in your account.

      As of this writing, your account is inactive due to non-renewal of service. It was deactivated on 7/9/2025. You need to redeem a service plan in order to continue using your service.

      Since your phone number is no longer active, we have sent you emails to ************************* on 7/20/2025, 7/22/2025, and 7/23/2025, to discuss this matter. However, we still have not received your response to our emails.

      I am rejecting this response because: the balance data balance was 6 gb total lost.  I never switched devices.  Service was lost dealing with customer service June 25th.  Again I have been using the same device since 2020 I do not understand what tracfone is talking about new phone.  I was left without a working phone because of incompetent customer service losing access to 3gb of data from redeemed points and 3 gb from in store data card and remaining service from my plan.

      We have received and reviewed your Better Business Bureau complaint. This response is in reference to your correspondence dated 7/24/2025, regarding BBB Case number ******** complaint.

      Your follow-up complaint states that the lost data balance was 6 GB in total and that contrary to our response, you never switched to a different phone since year 2020.

      We reviewed the screenshot you provided, which shows that the 3 GB data you purchased went to the account ending in 6335. However, on the same screen shot, it shows that the phone number it is associated is the one ending in 5087. As we reviewed, this account ending in 6335 was activated under the Bring Your Own Phone (BYOP) program. Despite using your ******* Galaxy A11 with IMEI # ending in 5529, the account displays the last 4-digit of the *** card number, which is 6335. Nonetheless, in our review, the Add-on data was added to your phone number ending in 5087.

      The contact number provided in the complaint is no longer valid. Therefore, we have sent you emails to ************************** on 8/1/2025, to discuss the status of your account and service concerns; however, we have not yet received your response to our emails.

      Starting March 31st my text messages stopped working. I had to call the help desk to get them working again. There was a major upgrade that had taken account information offline for 2 weeks, when it came back in April 1st my data stopped working. Also my balances for text and data seemed to be wrong when the system came back up. I have called the help desk 24 times just from my phone.and even bought a new sim card to try and fix the problem since then and they cannot get my mobile data to connect under my prepaid plan. My account has a service end date through 2039. The only way they got it to work even temporarily was to add an unlimited monthly plan to my account, but that stopped working before the month was even over. Many times I asked for a call back they didn't even call me back. I have since gotten a new phone number through ******* in addition to my TracFone account on the same phone and that is able to connect to mobile data so I know it is not my phone. They used to charge $49 per year for just service with no airtime so if they are unable to provide me the prepaid service I already prepaid for then they owe me the 14 years of service time at $49 per year at minimum. They should also refund me for the airtime,.texts and data prepaid for and at least some of my time for calling them so many times with no resolution.

      I am rejecting this response because:

      My issue was not that my balance was incorrect, even though that was also an issue. My main problem is that my TracFone account would not connect to mobile data at all. While I understand there may be service issues in my area I was unable to connect to mobile data at all, and I have had service through TracFone at the same address for over 15 years so if it was just usual patchy service I would not complain. While the last customer service *** I spoke with was able to get my data to connect partially, it is still not functioning as it should.

      They are trying to force me to factory reset my phone stating that it is a troubleshooting step that we must take to resolve the issue. If I factory reset my phone I am going to have to reset everything including the esim card  with the other mobile provider that I have had to get service through in order to use my phone and I do not wish to do so. My phone connects to mobile data just fine under my esim card and ******* account just not **********************. I have gone through every other troubleshooting step with them and still do not have reliable data or text service. 

      This issue started April 1st after a major system update and TracFone is trying to blame my device for the issues. I feel that they are trying to find a way to mark me as "uncooperative" with troubleshooting so that they can refuse to refund me for my 14 years of service that they are not able to make work. I have paid for service through 2039.

      I should not be forced to factory reset my phone against my wishes with no evidence of what is causing the issue. If that is my only option then they should reimburse me for the active time I have through 2039 on my account because they are unable to provide me with the service I have prepaid for. I have already spent too much of my personal time on this issue, I wish I could ask them to reimburse me for my time spent dealing with them as well because I have called over 25 times since the issue started.

      I got a call from support services on Sunday 8/10 requesting that I verify my IMEI number and sim card number. They then requested I try my sim card in another device (even though I bought a brand new sim card from TracFone after I started having issues. They said they would call back today at between 12:30 and 1:30, I even specified Pacific time then they called at 11:09 am until 11:14 am. This is not the first time they have called me at a different time than we had agreed. I feel like TracFone is just harassing me when they don't know what the issue is or how to fix it to avoid reimbursing me for the active airtime I am owed . It has been 4 months, why can't they just give me some sort of refund? I do not have time to keep dealing with them over and over when they are just asking me the same questions repeatedly, I have never heard of a company taking this long trying to fix an issue without some.sort of customer reimbursement. At this point I do not want their service anymore because they have proven themselves to not be reliable, I just want some sort of reimbursement for the services I have paid for that they are unable to provide. I have spent hours of my personal time and I do not wish to spend any more of my time, they should have to reimburse me for my time at this point.

      On February 18, 2025, I purchased an iPhone 13 from Straight Talk for $199 and activated it on February 22, 2025, with a 30-day unlimited plan costing $55. The total amount I paid was $********* the time of purchase and activation, Straight Talks official unlocking policy stated that eligible phones would be unlocked after 60 days of activation. This is the policy I relied on when making my purchase (see: ******************************************************************************************)However, now that 60 days have passed since activation, Straight Talk is refusing to unlock my phone, claiming that the policy "always" required 60 days of paid service. This condition was not stated anywhere in the version of the unlocking policy available at the time of my purchase.On April 1, 2025, Straight Talk updated their policy to clarify the 60 days of paid active service requirementbut this change was made after my purchase and activation, and it is now being applied retroactively. This is deceptive and unfair. The company is effectively denying me a promised service based on a policy that did not exist when I became a customer.I have made multiple attempts to resolve this directly with Straight Talk:- Emailed customer service at least 3 times - Sent 2 formal letters to their **************** and ********************* Department - Called customer service at least 5 times Each time, I am given the same dismissive answerthat the policy did not mean what it clearly stated, and that 60 days of paid service was always the requirement.This is not acceptable. The business should honor the policy that was in effect at the time of purchase and activation, not rewrite the rules afterward.Resolution Requested:I am requesting that Straight Talk immediately unlock my device, in accordance with the policy that was in place on February 22, 2025, and that they stop misrepresenting or retroactively enforcing changed policies on customers.

      Dear Pili *****:

      We have received and reviewed your Better Business Bureau complaint. This response is in reference to your correspondence dated June 25, 2025, regarding BBB Case number ******** complaint.

      Your complaint states that you purchased and activated an iPhone 13 from Straight Talk with a 30-day unlimited plan in February 2025, expecting it would be unlocked after 60 days, as per Unlocking Policy. However, the policy changed on April ******, which made your phone ineligible for unlocking as it required 60 days of paid and active service.

      We understand your desire to use your device on another carriers network, and we want to provide clarity based on our Unlocking Policy, which became effective on April 1, 2025. As outlined in our policy, for cellphones capable of remote unlocking (this includes most iPhones and some Android cellphones) that were activated with ********************* on the ******* network on or after November 23, 2021, the cellphone will be remotely unlocked automatically 60 days after paid Activation and 60 days of paid active service.

      This Unlocking Policy is subject to change at any time without advance notice.Unlocking Requests submitted on or after 4/1/2025 must adhere to this Unlocking Policy.

      We reviewed your account and it was confirmed you purchased an iPhone 13 with IMEI ending in 6659, on 02/18/2025 per order ID ****************** was activated with a 30-day plan on 2/21/202, and was deactivated on 3/23/2025 due to non-renewal of service. The device has not met the required 60 days of paid active service; therefore, it is not eligible for free unlocking. Once the account reflects the required 60 days of active paid service, and the device meets the other conditions, you can resubmit the unlocking request.

      We spoke with you via phone number ************ on 6/25/2025, and discussed the status of your account and Unlocking request. We encouraged you to renew your service to comply with the 60 paid and active service days required for unlocking eligibility. However, you declined and refused further assistance.

      As of this writing, we confirmed that your service was renewed, and an Unlocking Request was submitted on 7/2/2025.

      If you should still require assistance, you can contact ************** enter PIN ****. Hours of operation are Monday to Sunday from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM EST.

      Please refer to email reference number ******* or Ticket Number 1323319174.  

      Based upon the foregoing, we will close this matter unless we hear from you. Thank You for choosing Straight Talk Wireless.

      Okay Tracfone, you know the routine. You cheated me out of data "AGAIN". We went through this in May. After about 6 hours of phone conversations, you finally gave the data back. Good for you. Then two weeks later, you deleted the data again. Shame on you. What game are you playing? Enclosed, are two screen shots taken that shows *****GB of data that was on my account and a screen shot of the data mysterious disappearing. Time for you to put the data back. This is for phone number ************.

      Dear ****** *****:



      We have received and reviewed your Better Business Bureau complaint. This response is in reference to your correspondence dated June 25, 2025,regarding BBB Case number ******** complaint.

      Your complaint states that your data balance was removed again, and youre requesting for it to be restored.

      We spoke with you on July 2, 2025, via phone at ************, where you reiterated having a data balance of ***** GB. Upon review, your TracFone account was active, but the system showed only 10.2 GB remaining. We apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced and will do our best to prevent similar issues from occurring in the future. 

      To resolve the issue, we updated your account and submitted an escalation. It was found that the data balance was removed during redemption due to a system error.

      We followed up on July 7 and 9, informing you that the update was completed and advising you to check your balance via the My Account app. You later confirmed that the correct data balance was restored.

      If you should still require assistance, you can contact ************** enter PIN 1900. The hours of operation are Monday to Sunday from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM EST. 

      Please refer to email reference number ******* or Ticket Number 1323794406.
