paulbearer79, 12 Feb 2023well heres a nother example of a big company that sees all ... morewell that's your opinion I'm not on any type of assistance I'm a union laborer been so for 32 years the tracfone prepaid is my choice to use and own because when you just need a phone to keep in touch with Family and friend why get purchase subscription that cost you about 35 to 50 bucks a month? the prepaid phones are great as long as they have a wifi feature installed on them you can use wifi to make and receive calls and video chat not everyone want to keep up with the jones I just purchased a Nokia G300DL it's a beast of a phone I always bought the LG brands but they got out of the cell phone business. those phones had a fantastic chipset system I use bluetooth alot and the pre installed app they had in them was on of the best I ever used

          I agree with Arby above.The gouger high cost provider should not be allowed to swallow up and soon destroy a no-contract inexpensive alternative

                Horrible....I guess I'll need to go to Mint Mobile next. I hope the regulators don't approve the acquisition.

                      Maybe now they will unlock their damn phones. That's how they get their customers, trapping them into using the services.

                                Now that AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile are unable to get any new customers due to near market saturation, they are now beginning to cannibalize the prepaid or pay-as-you-go cell companies. It's growth for growth's sake. The choices for consumers continues to get thinner along with higher prices. The American cellphone market is getting closer to the Canadian market.

                                        This is very bad. The market went from 4 national carriers + 1 big MVNO to 3 national carriers. There is gonna be far less choices now
