[edit] strange characters at beginning of article
Originally the article had a link to an image of the Tracfone Company Logo. Apparently someone took out the image link but did not save the edit correctly.
Added a link to allow people to text message a Tracfone http://www.jasonholm.com/tracfone.html Jsholm 13:58, 4 June 2006 (UTC)jsholm
There is now a second group arrested on terrorism charges for buying 1000+ phones. I also added one reference on the lawsuit regarding unlocking phones. References for some of the other claims would be nice.
- charges were dropped. they were highly improbable in the first place. The case is becoming more about the pitfals of racial profiling. tracfone is actually the most difficult mobile to use for detonators since if you do not activate the handset with the original sim you can't without a lot of reprogramming -- more than any other brand. in this case the sims and batteries were removed. it is also obviously not useful to have battery removed on a "detonator."
- it is also important to note there was a very big tracfone promotion that week, and that many web dealsites noted the phones were worth in cash double the sales price.
- There is no serious terrorism suspicion case were the FBI and federal authorties would not have taken custody. But the FBI gave the guys a short interview and left. It took a while for the local prosecuter, but he dropped the charges today. IDD55 06:00, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Created Customer Service problems section; Added link to information on class-action lawsuit
I forgot to create an edit summary for my recent changes, so I wanted to mention them here in the discussion. Yesfan001 14:28, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
It seems to me this entire section is biased and unneeded. Its basically saying that 'Tracfone is a bad company'. Without any exaples. It mentions something about outsourcing, but i dont any company that doesnt. I say remove this section.
[edit] A Pathetic Company
This company has the worst customer service. They trick customers into paying extremely high per minute rates with a cheap phone. The employees do not care about customers. Just look at their website will give you an indication of what kind of pathetic company they are. If you sign up with them expect your email to be spammed each week and receive weekly automated calls trying to sell you something.

I actually have tracfone. i was paying $55 a month at Verizon and with tracphone i end up spending about $15 a month. Plus when I lost my cell phone at Verizon they charged me $250 for a phone that has the same features as the Tracfone i bought for $15. Tracfone is the only company that is selling their phones at manufacturing costs. The other cell phone companies lure you in with a Free cell phone and then charge their customers 10-20 times the manufacturing cost, because they have you locked into a contract. PS i have them and dont recieve any spam.
