tracfone # question.
 

I just bought 2 more tracfones last night to open new accounts. When I activated my phones the area code & numbers are the same except the last 2 digits.

Do you guys think there can be a problem getting linked by the similar numbers or am I being too paranoid? Thanks

too paranoid :)

It is not ideal, but I doubt that they would link based on that alone. The only way it could happen if a human reviewer were already suspicious and looked at both accounts. Even then, it could be a coincidence.

So, I agree with the "too paranoid" statement. But next time you might want to try activating them a couple hours apart.

No your fine, I've used numbers with only last number being different.

paranoid = only people who smoke crack or meth

That statement is completely uncalled for and inappropriate. The OP was concerned, and it was a legitimate question.

And in my experiences, most people who abuse amphetamines are never scared or paranoid. :)

Sounds like me when I went out to buy cards to verify pp. I never bought cards off the shelf in the order they were in because I found they were numbered one right after another.

I do not think it is a big deal either but to make you feel more comfortable call tracfone and ask them to send you a new sim card and get the number changed. ??

That's going to happen at some point. Phone numbers, credit cards, bank account numbers.... someone somewhere has a phone number identical to yours with one number different.

...or weed....

wait wtf, who said that?

No, it's no problem. You can actually call Tracphone and tell them you are moving and request a different area code You will keep that same number though but get a different area code you choose. then you can go reg. with Google voice again for 2 free numbers.

This gives you 6 numbers total to use. For $8 - $10
