International Calling Sucks

APR

2008

I like tracfone because you pay as you go, you buy minutes and pay as you use them, this phone is NOT for someone who talks a lot on the phone, money wise it wouldn't be worth it, this phone is for someone who just needs the phone for emergency purposes or brief conversations. I am having trouble with my phone making international phone calls, they give me an 800 to dial before i make the call and it won't go through, call again, they give me another number to call, call still dosen't go through. i can't seem to straighten this problem out with even a supervisor, it will straighten out after spending 1/2 hr. on the phone, giving them over and over again tons of info, i then can make the call, oddly enough the very next day, using the exact same access number they give me, i can't make the call again and here we go again with phoning them back, this problem just can't seem to get straightened out..I'm NOT satisfied with the international calling on my phone but it seems i can't do a thing about it.
