TRACFONE USERS held hostage by company and spam or unwanted callers !! COMPANY DOESN'T CARE so long as "somebody" brings $ in!

FAIR WARNING if you are considering buying a TracFone this company couldn't care less WHO places calls to your device so long as it results in your minutes being used up and they making more money!

 This is the "price" budget users have to pay in order to keep their phone in service for $10 or $20 a month with minutes rolled over.   Therefore if some spammer, mentally retarded person with Unlimited minutes usage plan, mystery caller who sends annoying "RESTRICTED" or "PRIVATE" calls (which Tracfone treats with great honor by preventing the victim from editing in ANY way) or similar gets your phone number Tracfone doesn't give a shit if it interferes with your employer or doctor calling you no matter how many times this "person" phones, texts or voice mail's your phone!  

This company's ONLY answer is to let it's users CHANGE their number despite the fact that this inconveniences all their legitimate contacts and disrupts the user's business life.   Naturally, once a user changes his or her number than usually doing so will require them TO CALL OR TEXT ALL OF THEIR CONTACTS to advise them of the NEW number resulting in MORE PROFITABLE MINUTE USAGE for the company!

MY SOLUTION IS TO TURN-OFF my Tracfone for extended periods of time preventing any voice mail, texts or calls from getting through.  Even the most severely retarded teenager will eventually give up calling me at least for a day or so.  This tactic is similar to changing my number except that it's more TEMPORARY.

 In the future however, when my income is better, probably I will drop Tracfone service for a wireless company which values it's customers more  than those aggressive, harassing and anonymous unwanted callers whom it gives an "open season" pass on us (with a wink and a nod).  

Summary:  If you need your phone for important business contacts you better SKIP Tracfone who's "no number block" policy proves they aren't really a serious wireless carrier!

HOW TO MAKE BILL COLLECTOR'S CALLS INTO time killing FUN AND GAMES!

IF COLLECTORS KEEP CALLING YOU ALL THE TIME HERE'S A FUN TRICK! You can enjoy (IF YOU have plenty of FREE TIME)  Turn it into A GAME !

Remember most collection agents are only COMPENSATED BY COMMISSION for a debt successfully paid (collected).  
THEIR TIME is VALUABLE to them AND THEIR SUPERVISORS!!

So if they CALL YOU and/or keep leaving messages with their CALLBACK NUMBER/S?
Don't be scared, don't let it ruin your day or night.  JUST CALL THEM BACK ...and make the call into a SILLY, sadistic? GAME!

TRY TO DELIBERATELY WASTE AS MUCH OF THE AGENT'S TIME AS POSSIBLE! In fact frankly admit to HIM or HER that that's exactly why YOU have phoned them  ;) 

Do the same shit to them they do to you .... USE THE TOLL-FREE NUMBER TO RETURN THEIR CALLS - every 15 minutes all day (or night) long, WASTE their time, talk nonsense, read the obits, make farting noises, flush the commode, put the phone mouthpiece in front of an AM 
RADIO scratchy with static or the weatherband (LOUD Spanish commercials can be fun too!) Put your phone in SPEAKER mode then walk around your room mumbling incoherently, put the mike near something that makes "feedback" noises!  Read the agent the Bible, Koran, Wicca, Vietnamese dictionary etc, etc. make it a game of 'chicken' to see who quits and hangs up first! (Then your next call chide them for quitting "early"!!)

Do it for as long as YOU enjoy it then hang up. (OR LET THEM HANG-UP!) NEXT in ten minutes DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN :)   Eventually the agent/s will GO BORDERLINE LOCO until the office SUPERVISOR interrupts the fun and THREATENS TO CALL YOUR LOCAL POLICE DEPT. for "Phone Harassment" !!  OOOOH!  Don't let this scare you either BECAUSE THEY CALLED YOU FIRST and left a callback number IMPLORING YOU to call them!!  

ITZ DA LAW HA HA HA SUCKAS !!
