Phucking Phone

I have been a mildly disgruntled Tracfone customer for a couple of years now. Donna and I are limited cell phone users and they are a very cheap, for us, alternative. We bought a second phone from them at the end of last October and it didn’t work for the first week. Seemed dead, but miraculously it started working.

This last Saturday it just as miraculously stopped working. No signal. Same symptoms as when we first got it. I called customer service and was told to take the phone to another city and see if I get any signal. I took that sucker all the way to Norway and still got nothing. To make things more interesting I have an identical phone, that was sent to me back in October, that I had never opened up. I charged it’s battery and it has been showing no signal right along with the current phone where ever we have gone for the last couple of days.

I was tempted to just buy another Tracfone, get it up and running and then transfer my 54 minutes of time over to the new phone. But I decided to not to throw any more good money after bad. Narrowed down my choices to two providers and came with in a hair of pulling the trigger on a Boost Mobile phone, but in the end elected to get a Cingular GoPhone with the pay as you go option.
