If you can read… than you can activate it… ::shake my head If my memory serves me correctly, when disposable phones came about, they were designed for on-the-go, and with the possibility of one-time-use. And when you go online, you must register on their site and submit personal info in order to activate your phone. We have come a long way from what prepaid, pay-as-you-go phones is supposed to be about; a non intrusive, no contract way of using a portable phone on-the-go.
That means, that the users name, address, phone number or any other personal info is not to be attached to the phone. I have no idea what that is. And, they required me to fill out an application! Name, address, phone number, and so. I asked the rep at the phone center why the company required such a high minimal monthly fee to use their prepaid service? To this, day, their requirements has not changed, but the setup fees and monthly prepaid fees are higher. I found tracfone to be more reasonable with their prepaid minutes cards prices, which was why I brought their phone.
I still own a trafone and like their prices, but the one problem I have with them is that they have poor tech and customer service support. And I got responses that had nothing to do with my problem and when I called on the phone, I had to deal with a foreigner whose english was not good. Nope, he said he would send me a new sim card. There was nothing wrong with the other new phone, just something wrong with the rep I was dealing with. Very poor service after buying from HSN, phone returned.
Machine responses do not ask questions pertaining to the problem. Tried to contact both Tracfone and HSN, multiple times, but unable to speak with customer relations of either company. Would not recommend. This is all very sad and very wrong. I bought my TracFone 6 months ago and still cannot get minutes. Do not even have a telephone number.
Bought from HSN on the t. I was suppose to have 1 year to activate but I am not going to make it at this rate. Cannot even return as it is past 30 days. Guess this is not such a good phone.
Certainly do not recommend to anyone. I will like to know what I have to do to activate my phone I tried by the webpage but is under construction. What can I do now? I receive my new cell phone because the other one was stolen.
I will like to activate but the the webpage is under construction,? What I have to do? I had to transfer my number and about minutes to a new device due to a lost phone. IIt took several tries by the tech support person to access my records, but he finally made the transfer to the new phone and processed the activation. He said it could take up to 24 houra.
Well, I kept checking the phone…and checking…and checking. Finally, the next afternoon I decided to call back tech support. I picked up the phone to check numbers, and presto! It was activated and it only took 23 hours!
If you purchase a Tracfone from a National retailer, and then sell it to someone in another state, will the activation process be compromised? I remember entering my zip code for a assignment, but just wondering if it will affect activation? My new tracfone will not activate. Its an LG22oc. My phone is charged. So whats the deal? How can I get help with this??? Tracfone sent new sim card which changed my to a new unwanted. I cannot connect to hear my phones messages, can you please help me understand what to do.??
I press 1 to set it up and will not let me do it. I just purchased a new tracfone, LCC. I have been trying to activate the phone and transfering the number and minutes from my old phone.
Tracfone support keeps telling me the activation is complete but I can not send or recieve messages or calls. This has been going on for 6 days and countless hours. Can anyone give me some advice, short of giving up? You might be interested in Tracfone International Long Distance calls which they say cost no extra. Does this account for reactivation too? My phone stopped working because it was disabled and now I have to reactivate it.
Please do so, and let us know, the problems that you have encountered. Define your site main menu. How long after I activate a device or switch devices will I be able to use it? However, it may take up to 24 hours.
The transfer process should take a few hours to complete. In some cases, it could take as long as 2 business days. It may take longer for landline phone numbers. You can use the phone to connect to a Wi-Fi network without activating it. You can activate the phone so you can use it for calling, texting and internet browsing.
For a non-Android device, each text costs 0. You should be able to wait to activate it. Check with the provider to be sure, though. Not Helpful 3 Helpful 5. Call TracFone or go to their website and request to reactivate. Not Helpful 2 Helpful 7. Whoever sets up the TracFone, such as if you purchased the phone at WalMart, they should be able to help you transfer the number. Don't close out your old phone line with that number before transferring. Depending on the phone, you might be able to just transfer the SIM card.
