    Tracfone not recognize this card; PIN bad

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Unable to read two of the PIN numbers. Called Tracfone, they don't have this basic phone card in their system. Between two phone calls, spent almost 3 hours on the phone with them. Emailed them a copy of the card and receipt from two different email addresses on two different days, they didn't receive the emails. All employees were very polite and it was eventually resolved, but I will never buy one of these minute cards again.
