Have a 5 year old Tracfone, which I decided to upgrade to a new model. Rather than port the number to the new, I decided on a new number because I'd received a few "unwanted" calls to the old number. Just 3 hours after activating the new Tracfone, I received a text message from this number, stating " Your friend just sent you a HOT deal on your favorite car!" There was a promo code to use at http://autosavingsfinder.com. Six hours later, I received the same text message on the OLD Tracfone which I had a few minutes left on. I will complain to Tracfone, for all the good THAT will do. The few times I've called THEM, I was connected with the Phillipines.
