On June 30th 2023, our home internet had a connection problem but we both have cellphones so we thought wed still be able to access our online accounts. This did not happen so on July 3rd we called Tracfone customer service and one rep attempted to install a hotspot on one of our phones. This was unsuccessful. On a further call the rep said that a hotspot could not be installed on our phone. When asked what the previous rep had done they did not know. We were transferred to a manager who after many attempts to figure out why our data was not engaging, stated that she saw a miss match in our data set up on both cellphones. She instructed me to turn off the phone, turn it on in 15 minutes and that 30 minutes from that time she would call me back to see if the troubleshooting had worked. It had NOT worked and we received no return call, as promised. Were still experiencing home internet issues and our phones are not using the data we have stored on our accounts. The contact number listed on this complaint is a LANDLINE.The cellphone numbers involved are: ************ and ************Business Response

Dear ***** and *********************:
We have received and reviewed your Better Business Bureau complaint. This response is in reference to your correspondence dated July 11, 2023, regarding BBB case # ******** complaint.
Your complaint states that you are not able to use the mobile data on your devices with the numbers ending in **** and **** so you contacted customer service on July 3, 2023, but you did not receive the required assistance as every time the troubleshooting did not provide results.
We checked your both accounts and reviewed that the data features were set up properly on our system. For these types of process, its necessary to check directly with the phones to identify the main issue.
Based on the usage records we reviewed for your accounts for the last 30 days of service, it does not appear that a service interruption occurred during that time period, and it indicates that the device was functioning properly during that time period.
We attempted to reach you via phone at ************ and email was sent to ********************** on 07/14/2023; however, we were unable to speak with you.
We talked to you via phone at ************ on 07/15/2023 but you requested to be contacted on the next day due to personal business.
As you requested, on 07/16/2023 we contacted you on the previous phone number you provided us and we worked to troubleshoot both phones using the different process available for no data connection, but we were still with unsuccessful results, following the process we sent you replacement *** cards for each phone and we accorded that we will communicate with you as soon as possible we confirm you receive your *** cards.
On the follow up for the shipping, one of the products presented a delay, we make sure that the order was reprocessed however, it will take more days for you to receive it than the other one that was successful from the beginning.
One of the *** cards arrived on July 19, 2023, so on the next day, we attempt to contact you via phone at ************, ************ and ************ and email was sent to **********************, we received your response giving us the best time for us to contact you during the week.
On 07/21/2023, you called our customer support at ************************; they updated the *** card that you received from us on the phone number ending in ****. You called back again on 07/22/2023 and 07/23/2023 to our customer support for technical troubleshooting. Based on the usage records we reviewed for your account, and it does appear that a service interruption occurred during that time period because the benefits were not updated automatically by the system on the *** change date.
We attempted to reach you again via phone at ************, ************ and ************ on the time frame you provided us on your emails, but we got not answer, furthermore an email was sent to ********************** on 07/23/2023 but we were unable to speak with you.
You talked to our customer support at the phone number ************************ on the same date and they updated the records that were incorrectly set up for your services.
If you still require assistance, you can contact an agent at ************************; hours of operation are from Monday to Sunday from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM EST.
Please refer to email reference number ******* or Ticket Number **********. Based upon the foregoing, we will close this matter unless we hear from you.Thank you for choosing Tracfone Wireless.

I am rejecting this response because: the data issue has not been resolved. The *** card that was received was inserted as instructed by the Tracfone rep. and troubleshoot was performed fir cell ending ****. After about ************************************************************************* 30 minutes. That call was not returned until the next day while we were out at work. In addition an email is sent stating that they tried to reach us but were not able to. We will call back when were able to but the calls usually end the same way. Nothing resolved and that a callback will be made shortly. With an average of 60 - 90 minutes per call, when were able to troubleshoot with a rep. this is a huge amount of time being wasted when there is no success. We stress this with the Tracfone reps but they do not seem to understand or empathize with our situation. They ask us to hold on for a couple of minutes that ends up being over an hour. The second *** card arrive for phone ending **** and we have a call scheduled for this evening. We will try again with this phone despite having no success with a similar process with phone ending ****. We hope for a resolution and less time didnt on the phone tonight.

Complaint: 20304589
I am rejecting this response because:We submitted our complaint on July 11, 2023, and since then we have spent in excess of five hours on the phone in several sessions with various representatives, troubleshooting our phones.
All those troubleshooting sessions have failed to enable our phones to run on data only, or to surf the internet without wi-fi.
One manager we spoke with, long before filing the BBB complaint, stated that she saw a "data mismatch" on both of our accounts that she was trying to correct. That manager had stated that she would call us back within thirty minutes of our call. That callback never came. Since then, we've gone over similar trouble-shooting exercises with different reps without improvement in service.
We work during the day and are tired when we get home. Our time at home is precious and we have spent an excessive amount of it trying to get Tracfone's error corrected. We informed ******* at Tracfone that our data on both our respective accounts, as well as our phone minutes and texts, accumulated over the months had been wiped out to zero as a result of Tracfone's troubleshooting efforts. This had happened despite us being on an unlimited talk and text plan that gives us 3 Gigs of data monthly. ******* was able to restore the unlimited talk and text but not all the gigs of data returned, On July 26, ******* called us and stated that she was "working on escalation for the phones," which we understood as getting approval to have our devices replaced. She said she would email us if she needed to speak with us further. She told us that no other Tracfone rep would be calling us.
We were surprised to receive the most recent call, on Wednesday August 2, from Ms. Cernadas at ******** asking us to go to an Apple store to have our phones checked. She also stated that she had sent something to our phones to correct the ongoing issue: another failed trouble-shooting effort.
We don't know where to go for relief???
When and how will our legitimate claims be resolved???
A fair solution would be for Tracfone to replace our defective iPhones purchased from Tracfone, not just swap in new SIM card which did not work; restore the correct amount of gigabytes of data, unlimited phone minutes and unlimited texts, to the correct amount--- pre unsuccessful Tracfone trouble-shooting efforts; and ***** us six (6) of our current service plans gratis, free.
Thank you.
Stay well.

We reject this response because: Representatives from Tracfone Corporate offices have reached out to us. We hope that they will at least make an ******* effort to address all of the issues that we detailed in our previous emails.It's clear to us that ***************************** does not have the time nor patience to treat us with respect. We are in fact customers of Tracfone who highlight a flaw in their service which we have been paying for over two years. That ********************** willingness to close the complaint without positive corrective resolution, nor restitution for our time spent (wasted??) trying to get this issue corrected, demonstrates the contempt she has for us.

Dear **************************
We have received and reviewed your Better Business Bureau complaint. This response is in reference to your correspondence dated July 11, 2023, regarding BBB Case number ******** complaint.
Mr. ****** complaint states that he put his grandparents service to his phone plan. His grandparents phone got mixed up and ended up using his sim card realizing it was already locked. He called Tracfone multiple times to unlock the phone and was told that they couldnt do it. He had to reactivate his Tracfone plan to receive a text verifying the account when providing all his information. He asked for supervisor unfortunately it was decline.
We attempted to locate Mr. ******* account by utilizing our tools using his information such as name and mailing address. Unfortunately, there were no accounts found. Hence, to address the matter we need to speak with him for assistance.
Mr. ****** was contacted on 07/13/2023, and 07/14/2023 at phone number ************ an email *********************** regarding with his unlocking request however, we failed to get hold of him. We are still waiting to hear it from him. On 07/17/2023 we spoke with ************** and ask for the **** number of the device that his trying to unlock. Upon further review the device that his trying to unlock is a BYOP iPhone SE device therefore we set up a call courtesy call back since we need to verify first from our unlocking department if the device is eligible for unlocking. We spoke with our unlocking department and they confirmed that the device was already unlock.
Moreover on 07/18/2023 we spoke with ************** again and informed him that his BYOP iPhone SE was already unlock and all he has to do is connect the device to Wi-Fi, insert the new sim card from the new service provider and restart the phone. Thus, we informed him that case will be closed and if in case he needs further assistance he can call us back anytime.
If Mr. ****** should still require assistance, he can contact ************** enter PIN ****. Hours of operation are Monday to Sunday from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM EST.

In **** tracfone ran a promotion of bay a year and get a free year. So I paid for 09/**** and got 09/2002 thru 09/2003 free. In 09/2002 they took out an autopayment (over $100) and made the account paid thru 09/2004. This autopay should have never occurred since the phone was already good until 09/2023. My wife just died 07/06/2023. I called and asked for refund for 09/2023 to 09/2024. They refused because "COMPANY POLICY" says no refund after 6 months. The auto payment should never have happened until 09/2023 so I believe it I should still get a refund for the year that will never use their service.Customer Answer

Tracfone has blocked every attempt to communicate with them. Attempts are as follows
1. They sent code to my email multiple times but it takes about 10 minutes and they will not accept the code after 5 minutes
2. They SAY they sent code to the trac phone but never arrived
3. They asked for numbers called from this phone but immediately said they were never called even though I called for my dying mother so I know they were valid
I even made 2 calls using the phone but they refused to accept them
I have made every attempt to communicate with them but they refuse to send a refund unluss I can prove who I am. They do see the 2023-2024 was paid but they are refusing to refund even though the phone will never be used by my DEAD WIFE.

Dear ***********************,
This is in response to the August 2, 2023, rebuttal to Better Business Bureau complaint # ********.
Thank you for contacting us again about the request for a refund for the remaining time on the account. We are sorry to hear that your wife passed away.
Service redeemed to an account is non- refundable. Tracfone service has 2 components with the pay as you go service cards. Days of service are paid for along with minutes, for calls; minutes for text and Data. A check of the account indicates that the phone was in use since the one year card was added for talk, text, and data. Although the card added was for service, with bonus minutes; the minutes were being used, and the one year of service has almost expired. The source of the remaining service days may be the result of adding minutes, which include service days, and may have been accumulating on the account. *********** days are not refundable. *
The final analysis is that the purchase is not eligible for a credit due to usage, and no refund will be processed.
Although the line is still active, the account must be authenticated to change the status. In addition, please refer to the following excerpt from TRACFONE WIRELESS TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SERVICE,*, below; the terms , are available in their entirety on the TracFone Wireless Website.
*2. Termination of Service
Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time. Termination of this Agreement will result in the immediate termination of your Service which may be reactivated if you elect to do so. Any Service which remains unused at the time of termination, including, promotional balances, cannot be refunded or transferred to another person.

Dear ***********************,
This is in response to the August 16, 2023, responses to Better Business Bureau complaint # ********.
Thank you for the additional comments and feedback about the request for a refund. We apologize for any miscommunication.
We are not disputing the payments; however, a refund will not be processed due to the time elapsed from the charge what was made. Request for a refund should be made with 60 days of the charge, but exceptions can be made up to 132 calendar days from the charge. An additional year of service was added to the account in place of the refund. A review of the account does not indicate that you contacted us within time for a credit to be processed.
We require notification in writing of any disputed charges within sixty (60) days of the charges or you will have waived your right to dispute the charges.
We regret that we are unable to comply with your request for a refund. And We are sorry to hear the action you will take in return.

I reached out on multiple occasions to tracfone in reference to needing to port my current number, but wanting to keep my existing service. I originally paid for a 365 limited data, and minute plan, but never use any of those services as immediately upon activating the account, I started paying for a monthly plan to increase the amount of data available. I spoke to several representatives to over chat 3 to 4 over the phone and essentially was advised to port my number and then when I restarted my service I could call for a new number to keep the same Sim card and the service will be reapplied to the accounts . Ive finally received my new phone number shortly there after the phone stopped working again, I reached out multiple times confirm that my service and they wouldnt be in till **** spoke to several different representatives, several of which were rude and at one point I sent it to deny me service despite the conversations held. Today after speaking to ******, a representative with a tracfone employee ID ****** he refused to transfer me to a higher up, and essentially refuse to ensure that my service remain working. This company lies and misleads, they refuse to assist and often denies the right of customers for further escalation when receiving poor customer service.

On 13 May '23, I purchased an annual plan for $218.33 with my *********** debit card from Tracfone for my #********** 'phone number cellular service. They sent me a new 'phone after I sent in my old, damaged one. I have spent over 5 hours over the last several days trying to get my 'phone activated, with no success. Their 'customer service' is unable to activate my 'phone. I then tried to cancel my plan and get a refund, but they say I have to get my 'phone activated to cancel! This is a ridiculous 'catch 22" that makes the 'service' useless. There is no way to cancel via their website! The website does not allow access to the supposed 'customer service' page. This is the worst 'phone provider I have ever dealt with!Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:Once again, I contacted the company, wasted 30 min. going over the same "authentication" process, with the same negative results. It appears I have to provide 2 'phone numbers that I often call with the 'phone and I simply do not know what numbers I called with that 'phone. I therefore will no longer waste time on this ridiculous process. I received a refund from my credit card company so I don't care what Tracfone does with my acct.

On 6/26/2023 my son and I purchased a cell phone for $242.99 through the Tracfone website and opted for the next day delivery. When the phone did not arrive, I called and they said the system was down. A few days later, my son called and they said it would arrive by *** by 7 pm that night. The next day I called and asked for a tracking number, they said the system was still down. I questioned this and then she said I need to call my bank to "release the funds". The phone was paid by my son's debit card and they had the money. As it had almost been over 10 days and there was no information about the phone, I asked to cancel the order and get a refund. She said they couldn't do that. She said I'd have to take it up with my bank. US Bank DID give us a preliminary refund, but it should come from Tracfone, not the bank.Business Response

Dear ***********************,
We have received and reviewed your Better Business Bureau complaint. This response is in reference to your correspondence dated July 8, 2023, regarding BBB Case number ******** complaint.
Ms. ******* complaint alleges that TracFone Wireless did not send the phone she ordered online even if she paid for expedite shipment.
We spoke with **************** on 7/18/2023 at **********. As per our conversation, she confirmed that she received the phone on 7/18/2023. However, she already got a new one bought from other store. So, she wanted to get a refund for the device we sent. We informed her that she needs to return the phone within 30 days from the day she placed the order and she can use the same shipping label attached on the delivered package. Once we received the phone an automatic refund will be processed.
Upon reviewing Ms. ******* web order, we found out that the phone she ordered run out of stock. With this, it was delayed for a week. This is the reason why it says pending on the website. As per policy, we cannot process the refund for pending transactions because an item will be delivered automatically as soon as the phone becomes available. Reference tracking number for the successful delivery after a week of delay is 1ZY902R61324221436.
If **************** should still require assistance, she can contact ************** enter PIN ****. Hours of operation are Monday to Sunday from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM EST.
Please refer to ticket number 1280208502.

Have called repeatedly to get a status update on order placed June 30. Originally told it would arrive July 6-8 and almost immediately received email saying it was back ordered. I called to sort out the issue and have been repeatedly disconnected. I attempted online chats that went no where. I asked how to cancel the order if I was not going to receive it in a timely manner and was sent a link that went to 'page not found'. Another person promised me a call back within ***** minutes and, of course, that never happened. I am unable to track my order as their web site does not respond. I have again called and was on the line for over 30 minutes as their system is not responding. Same issue as previous days. The woman then told me cancelling the order is impossible once placed! It hasn't even shipped. When I pointed out that the site has a cancel option (not responding of course) she told me 'no it doesn't. Employee number ******* I was told that my only recourse was to file dispute with my bank. When I asked if they were truly not able to help any customers she replied that is correct! This has happened for 3 days. Emails go unaswered and no service. I want to cancel this order as I have lost all interest in this product. Order #*********Business Response

However, we received a response from her to one of our emails sent stating, She no longer interested. The ordered phone has arrived on 07/17/2023. She just wants to iterate that customer service was abysmal. To not even able to get an update on shipping was ridiculous. After being told a cancellation of the order was impossible, she then promised herself she would never order any item from our business.
As per investigation, a ticket was created for equipment not received on 07/13/2023 with reference number ********** for the customer to receive a refund of the order she did not receive. However, on the same day, it was cancelled since a tracking number was generated by the system to deliver the phone. It was delivered on 07/17/2023 at 2:54 PM at Porch by *** *********************** with the tracking number 1ZY902R60224115232.
Moreover, by the time customer placed the order online we do not have available stocks in the nearest warehouse which resulted the delayed of the shipment.
Additionally, the phone is now active and provision in the system. Our record shows that minutes were being in used for calling and data which means that phone is now being in used and working.

Dear ***************************************,
We have received and reviewed your Better Business Bureau complaint. This response is in reference to your correspondence dated July 7, 2023, regarding BBB Case number ******** complaint.
******************** complaint states that she purchased minutes from TracFone with rewards on May 28, 2023. However, they were never applied into the phone and lead to the phone being unusable.
We spoke with Ms. ******* on July 14, 2023, 2:30 PM EST at **********. As per conversation, we informed Ms. ******* the rewards points that was used to redeem a voice minutes on 05/30/2023 was successful. However, the active device that she has while doing the redemption is the old phone. But she mentioned that from the time she redeemed the minutes it did not work and thats the reason why she decided to transfer the phone number and service over to another device. She was not able to use the minutes due to phone is not working.
Upon review, transaction history of the **** indicates that it was successfully been redeemed since the plan that was used to redeem is TracFone $10 - 500 voice minutes / 0 access days - smartphone only. It has a service pin associated on it. Then afterwards, Ms. ******* made a phone upgrade on 06/17/2023 with the reference ticket number of 1278826557.
We informed Ms. ******* that we will be calling her back right away once we received an update regarding with the usage of the voice minutes if she was eligible for the minutes replacement.
Furthermore, the investigation came out and it was evident on our end that there is no usage for voice minutes from the date of 05/30/2023 when it was added up until 06/17/2023 under with her old ****. Therefore, the voice minutes was not carry over after the upgrade transaction and it has supposed to be carry over. When the voice minutes did not carry over, Ms. ******* purchased a TracFone 500 voice minutes card on 07/05/2023 and has remaining voice minutes of 486. Therefore we can proceed to process a replacement of 500 voice minutes for ********************************************
We spoke with **************************** again on July 14, 2023, 3:41 PM EST at **********. We informed Ms. ******* that she was eligible for the replacement and successfully provided the lost minutes with the reference ticket number of 1280330145.
