I have no trouble making calls or texting. I have a Samsung Galaxy S320VL. Each day I call tech service and they do a network update and it works fine the rest of the day. I turn the phone off at night and repeat the above process in order to receive calls again. The tracfone forum has yet to approve my post and the tech on the phone considers the problem solved. Any advice would be most appreciated.Genehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07329995422669927815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677003350229363498.post-21045139538160584172018-03-31T22:33:43.311-05:002018-03-31T22:33:43.311-05:00Do you know how to unblock callers that are not on...Do you know how to unblock callers that are not on my contact list.

My text messages hang up every single time. I can tap on the messaging app, tap on it, tap on it, tap on it and it won't come up. Finally, when it does come up, it freezes. I can't access a few of my contacts without tapping their names more than once. When someone sends me a text message, it sometimes won't come up, I can't go up and down the screen, and sometimes my keyboard won't even type. Basically, the entire messaging app freezes no matter what I do. Could you please tell me what the problem might be? And what to do about it? I have dropped it without its case a few times, but it still turns on just fine. Thank you for your time. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677003350229363498.post-7235890037695948602016-01-14T18:45:10.806-06:002016-01-14T18:45:10.806-06:00My trac fone totally sucks.

While attempting to download minutes from a prepaid tracfrone card, my tracfone screen read "Prepaid service disabled." A tracfone service representative tried to help, but wasn't able to fix the problem. He suggested buying a new tracfone, which I did. The new one is too much for me. I'm an old man. I want to send my old Nokia to a tracfone repair service. When it's returned, I'd activate it with a new tracfone number.

As soon as I got it, I started transfered music and jpg's to the phone. The Problem now? I forgot how I did it. Recently tried to do it again and find it impossible with the only cable that came with it...its the recharger cable...Now here is the kick..when I first tried it with that cable, without it being actually connected to my pc, windows acknowledged it and stated to search for new drivers. After successfully getting it installed, I cannot see on the computer the drive for it as one is suppose to. Tech said the only way to do this is to get a usb cable....but I never used one the first time and did it...I am going batts. I did not use bluetooth. I do have wifi so was that how the pc acknowledged it for the new drivers, via WiFi? Does anyone know how to transfer files from pc to phone and vica versa?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06384845419371377184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677003350229363498.post-54438089626684188942014-04-16T11:45:44.684-05:002014-04-16T11:45:44.684-05:00how do i delete text numbers that are not a contac...how do i delete text numbers that are not a contact?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677003350229363498.post-32307117396871820202014-02-15T18:19:09.218-06:002014-02-15T18:19:09.218-06:00Will I recieve messages that were sent while I was...Will I recieve messages that were sent while I was out of minutes when I add more minutes to my phone?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677003350229363498.post-6775559939496567282013-10-07T15:13:04.991-05:002013-10-07T15:13:04.991-05:00My 440 LG was purchased a few weeks ago.

Problem is that sometimes (30% of the time) when someone is calling (I use my land line to confirm this) there is NO RING even though the ring is on 'high'. But one can leave a message but that message does not show up for three or four minutes. This seems to NOT be a problem with the actual phone but, rather, with the relay from the caller to my phone. - DavidAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677003350229363498.post-45795071896391305452013-08-01T21:03:55.106-05:002013-08-01T21:03:55.106-05:00I just purchased the new touch phone LG 840G.

If your service days run out, you cannot call anyone and any remaining minutes are lost.<br /><br />Also, after a certain amount of time when you phone has had no service, it will be deactivated.<br /><br />Yes, it seems strict, but if you simply manage your minutes and service days well, you will have no problems.<br /><br />Buying a 1 year of service card or using the Tracfone Value Plan, are great ways to avoid running out of service days.TracfoneReviewer Teamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15878487033950016130noreply@blogger.com
