The overall experience with TracFone is good. Their customer service is fantastic especially if you get Frank throw the chat window. Rates are comparatively good and reliable.

Very good option for wireless service. They have come such a long way over the years. Have had service for some of my other family members for over 20+ years. Inexpensive and very reliable!

I loved my TracFone and would not have given it up if I wasn't offered a plan that my family allowed me to join. I really have nothing bad to say about TracFone.

I am a customer of Tracfone through Safelink Wireless and their Lifeline program, It really is a lifesaver and they are more generous than their competitors.

I use this for my daughter as she is riding the bus this year and it is a little bit far from the house. His phone is inexpensive and works well for the purpose. She likes it and seems to have good enough service.

Basic phones and basic service. Good for a starter phone for kids, or a good phone for elderly parents who don't use technology that much. They do offer more options now, but the service is sub-par. But are worth the value.

I have been using TFW Straight Talk for over 3 years or so and in a way the price is fair, data once in a while has its quirks and calls has once in a while an echo or static, but it has no contracts or hidden fees.

The phone was for 84 year old Mother. She is not up to date on modern devises but I managed to teach her to use the phone. The model I chose was very basic. A good choice for her needs.

Service was okay but and it was good in an emergency. I just didn’t like buying minutes all the time. It would be good for someone who doesn’t use their phone a whole lot.

Cheap phones and enjoyed the small plans. Was perfect to give younger kid who wanted phone but wasn't responsible enough for more expensive phone. Service was not great in rural areas

Although not that popular anymore, TracFone is great for international travel when you need a phone for communication but dont want to risk losing and breaking your smart phone.

TracFone is actually pretty good for vacations and foreign country visits. Most commonly, it is easier for my grandparents to use because of its simplicity compared to a smart phone. I often take it with me on trips so nothing happens to my normal phone.

We have used this for my daughter. You buy codes for a set of minutes for text, data, and voice use. you can buy cards that will also give you double minutes. She doesn't need lots of minute for talk and text. It has met our needs.

We did this service for my daughter because she needed a phone but I didn't want her to have access to the web. You buy how many minutes you think you will use, But there isn't a way to track how many minutes you use so I feel like there was no way of telling if they ripped you off on your minutes. I always felt like we ran out minutes way faster than we should have.

We bought a TracFone for our kids to use and it worked great, except our service plan would expire leaving us with hundreds of unused minutes. We would pay more for a continued service plan and keep accumulating minutes that we never could use up.

Customer Service is the WORST! They take forever on Chat when u have problems and almost NEVER SOLVE them. Getting a LIVE PERSON is almost IMPOSSIBLE! Most recently, it did NOT give me the 1GB of Data included on my Unlimited Talk and Text Plan

BAD-BAD-BAD-BAD-I Have used TracFone for years. I recently had my Samsung Galaxy J7 unlocked to transfer ro another company. Guess what-Even unlocked you can only use TracFone service on a TracFone unlocked phone. Should be and probably is illegal. Never trust TracFone.

I tried TracFone for a brief time a couple years ago and hated it. I thought the plans were really undesirable and the phone was awful. The website looked super shady and made me really reluctant to pay on it. I only used this service briefly because it was really poor.

Tracfone appears to be a Mexican company operating out of Southern Florida. I had purchased one of their Rebel 4 smart phones; but did not receive any instructions - or warnings - about how Tracfone would wipe away your minutes and data so quickly. Within a few DAYS of activating the phone, I was completely out of data; so, the phone was nothing more than an expensive paper weight. I ended up canceling Tracfone after less than 3 weeks of POOR customer service for an inferior, money-sucking product.

We used this company for all four of our children’s phones. Although the phones are inexpensive, the customer revise is terrible. I was constantly on the phone trying to get a hold of them. And when you finally get someone on the line, their English was poor.

confusing experience being mailed a sim card from trac phone multiple representatives saying stories of the sim card that was mailed was a Verizon sim card which should have been t mobile ( and verse vice ), they could not mail me a sim card for my unlocked iPhone pro max 12, they could not refund me, I could not get a free replacement.. three weeks later I finally activated my phone after 5 + hours, of multiple transfers, rude customer service, hang ups, long hold times

Not a fan of TracFone, although I do recognize their value. As it turns out, I found better quality service, better pricing, and much better customer service elsewhere, so I left TracFone.

I have found TracFone it in Miss depending on who you can talk to for customer service and if you can get the right APN settings dialed in, if not you never have service and you are paying for a reoccuring headache!

Service is really poor, I mostly had to go outside to have the call connect. Sometimes I had to go into the street. Giving 2 stars, not 1 since usually once I got the call connected it wouldn't drop. Also, during COVID they were more stable then other carries (I'd guess since they are the least overloaded).
