WTF Tracfone! Unregistered Sim?

[rainmaker]

I tried changing phone numbers with my Tracfone but it caused my phone to a non-working phone. Keeps saying Unregistered Sim....

I've never had luck using phone more than once. I've just accepted it is a $5 one time use phone.

Even if u cant find one for $5, at target there like 10-15 bucks tops man lol i have bought a few of them.

Try taking the sim card out and putting it back in.

Just out of curiosity.....do you have actual working numbers for your accounts?

[rainmaker]

Of course I do, why wouldn't I. That's important isn't it?

So why change the number? or are you changing the number from an old banned account?

[yaBeh8ater]

because you can get a new account with each number. i usually change my number at least 30 times on each phone. it is a great deal for $10. if the shoddy service is because of how cheap the phones are then they should raise the price. and provide better service.

Wow....I didn't know that!!!!! lol....

best buy runs em too from time to time. I will never buy the low end base 5 dollar ones. they suck, I bought one and even called tracfone 3 times and they couldnt get the phone activated. I basically had to throw it away as they wanted to mail me crap for the phone??? the ones on special are better 15 dollar ones for 5 bucks. I have had no problems with those. I actually found the cheap non flip 5 dollar one is complete garbage.

30 times? In 60 days I presume?

And they buy the line that you've moved... every other day?

Seems like a stretch.

Nope, they get hacked off. For some reason they call it abuse of the system.

LOL.

Dollar store tracfones never work for me. I look for the 15$ ones on sale for $5.

[suspendedfoe]

LOL at the posts who have no clue, tracfones can change phone numbers as much as you want...and now they are working again.
