 Beware! Still not working after 1 year. November 20, 2007
5 out of 9 found this review helpful
Beware Tracfone. I regret that Amazon won't let me give them 0 stars. We got this phone for my wife's aunt last December. After 1 year of trying to get this working, she still cannot receive calls. She can call out, but no one can call her. Tracfone support is useless (and generally only marginally speaks English). You also cannot manage the phone or minutes on line. You have to call in and give them about 60 digits that the phone shows you to do almost anything. We're letting this one die with over 400 units left on it because it is basically useless. Coverage isn't good either, but who cares if you can't receive calls anyway? There has got to be a better option, because I doubt there are many worse ones.
 Big step up! November 14, 2007

I've been a Tracfone customer for about 8 years. I have two very old phones plus the Nokia I just used for 6 years or so. It still works well, too!
The phone I had before this C-139 was a small Nokia. It worked well but kept turning on and dialing numbers, while hanging freely in a pouch inside my purses. This one does not.
I like Tracfone because I can buy time for a year and a double minute card and I'm good to go! My account & tel # stays the same for a year. And I don't have a monthly bill or a phone growing out of my ear! Yes, I do not appreciate those (idiots) who yack on the phone while they try to pay attention to their driving, discipline kids,...all the while; turning corners and drinking take-out coffee. The possibility of them hitting my car while they're arguing with someone or reviewing last night's date scares the hell out of me!
This Motorola has been out for a while but I just got it. It's great! The color background is much nicer and clearer than the Nokia (mono color and limited light.)
They are about the same size. The Nokia is a little slimmer, but heavier than the Motorola. The Motorola has grips on the sides and has a gr8 feel in my hands. It is Bluetooth compatible and the options are more sophisticated and plentiful than the Nokia. I feel like I went from Bedrock to the 1990's.
I know there are better phones out there (without a service plan)...maybe next year we'll get camera phones with newer features that aren't even out yet! But for now, they do the trick...calling AAA when one of the cars break down.
DO NOT BUY IT!!! September 7, 2007

The phone may work fine but the company managing it is awful!! Get ready to waste all your minutes on 611 calls. (Unlike other companies 611 customer service calls are not charged as actual phone units.)
Took forever to get to customer service, which is not properly trained and cannot understand plain English (some do some don't).
Charged me for calls not connected etc...
Really disappointed.. I lost close to 60 not so cheap units in a customer service call and they did not take care of the issue. I could not make international calls like advertised in their website. Really sad. With Tracfone you really get what you pay for...that is their motto and that is the reality.... Google tracfone and below the links to the company you will see a webpage with tons of bad reviews and problems with the company.

My tracfone has good reception. i like that it has free call waiting and free caller id. if you haven't activated your tracfone yet then the 'refer a friend program' will give each of us 120 free minutes. please send me an email and i will send you a fast referral( i check my email
ften). it's a win/win! thank you.
UPDATE: as of october 2006 tracfone has cancelled the refer a friend program.

In the past I have had contract phones with monthly charges, cancellation fee etc. For me that was not worth it as I only need the phone for infrequent use. I have had two tracfone (C139) for a few months now. I am perfectly happy with them. Each Tracfone only cost $20, and that will also include free minutes...10 with the phone...10 if your activate online...and 120 if you allow me to refer you...we both will get 120 free minutes. I also have 2 additonal codes for 30 and 60 more free bonus minutes. The service will last 2 months when first you activate, and 2 more months when you add the free minutes. After that point if you have not used up all your minutes you can roll over your unused minutes when you buy more minutes...for as little as $20 every 60 days. If you decide your don't need the service after you have used up the time and minutes...store you phone and reactivate it at a future time...no fee...just buy as little as $20 for 60 minutes...however, you will be assigned a different phone number, which I don't think is a big deal. Contact me (matman713 at hotmail dot com) for my referral and get started with a bunch of free minutes!
