 Tracfone C 139 March 25, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have a Motorola C 139 Tracfone which I bought for emergencies since I have a heart condition. I have found the phone to be reliable and sturdy. I dropped in on concrete twice and never phased it. I can hear better on the Motorola C 139 then I can on my land line house phone. I text message which is great because I'm partially deaf. It is basic phone, but for what I use it for, it is just what I need and at $6.66 dollars a month I pay for service, you can't get one any cheaper that works as good.
 TracFone Service: Utter garbage. February 3, 2008

Let's be clear about one thing. If you subscribe to TracFone service, telemarketers will begin calling you from day one. And your minutes will begin ticking away. There is no way to stop this. There is no way to modify your voice mail settings or reject voicemails. For this reason, do not purchase a TracFone, unless you like spending your day listening to telemarketers!

I got 200 tracfone minutes from my sister this past christmas. I went out and picked up a phone, seeing as it was only $15 anyway. When i turned on the phone i got an 'insert sim' message. i went through troubleshooting and did everything it told me to. i then called and after a few robots, talked to someone. they told me it was normal and would work by tomorrow. he set up my account and put in my minutes while i was talking to him. days went by and still nothing. i called again and they forced troubleshooting on me. i couldnt get one answer out of anyone so i talked to a supervisor and they sent me a new sim card. now i have this new sim card but all my info is on my old one. i talked to someone for about an hour, putting in codes that accomplished nothing. they told me i had to wait 2 weeks so they could file an investigation on my case. i needed to talk to a supervisor to add minutes to my phone and the entire time i was treated like a liar and called ma'am every 2 sentences despite my obvious deep voice. the entire process of being able to have a quick and affordable phone took over a month. overall their service is terrible, and their product hardly works. my mother also has one and i tried to set up her account online but it wouldnt go through. i needed to call and put in a handful of codes again. after all this trouble I can only make outgoing calls. I was able to get a call earlier today... but when i called it half an hour ago and when my friend called me the other night, there was a message saying i'm not taking calls. also, if you ever want to set up a voicemail or anything on your phone, you have to use YOUR minutes. you cant use a LAN line or anything. thats a long time with the elaborate "you're probably a moron so let me slow it down for you" instructions they give for setting up a voicemail. I set mine up and the voice went on about different features of the phone, trying to drag out your minutes so you can go buy some more. and if you decide to buy this phone you'll most likely be put on hold while you see what the problem with your phone is and you'll hear them actually say "with tracfone, you really do get what you pay for" in between the holding music. I recommend this product to anyone who has done me wrong. go get virgin mobile if you want a cheap, reliable and easy to use phone. my girlfriend sets all her information online and everything works the way its supposed to.

I have owned a tracfone for a long time now and find it gives great service. It's very economical on my budget with no monthly bill to pay. It gets good reception and I have no problems making calls from any location. I highly recommend the tracfone to anyone who doesn't want to have a monthly phone bill. try a tracfone.....you'll like it.

I needed to buy my mother a new cell phone so I could cancel my account with my existing provider and still keep the same number. I was a Tracfone user a few years ago while I was in college, and I found their services to be good. I went to the store and saw this phone priced very low; not so long ago you had to pay $70 for a Tracfone, and now they have them for less than $20. I decided that since she wasn't going to use the cell phone very much, this would be a good way to go until I could find something else.
I bought this phone because it was cheap, and I could get it activated right away. This phone is very basic; most of the features that are now common place are missing on this model. The screen is microscopic; it can only display a few lines at a time. There are no polyphonic ringtones, and it can only hold 100 entries in the phonebook. They keys are so firm that they are hard to press down, and the menus are tedious and somewhat counter-intuitive. It is very sturdy, but also a little heavier than should be for a phone its size. There is no web browsing like there is on other phones. The text messaging feature is really tricky to use. I think Tracfone has good service, but in many ways, this phone feels like a step back from where Tracfone was going to.
I have noticed that Tracfone has moved away from using the CDMA network and towards using the GSM network. I don't think that is bad, it just means slightly less coverage overall. Tracfone's service is not bad. I think this phone is a decent choice for someone who is wanting a very basic phone to talk on. It is less than $20, so I can't complain too much. However, if there is any way that you can afford it, I suggest if you are going to use Tracfone's service, go with a pricier phone with more features.
