Tracfone And Radio Shack What a rip off and dis-information Council Bluffs Internet

With all do respect you cannot blame RadioShack for your problem's. When it comes to cell phones as well as any electronic now a days, "You get whatyou pay for."

I worked for RadioShack for many years and delt with many issues such as yours. I understand your frustration but a GSM phone needs to run onthe GSM network. If there are not many cell phone towers in the area where you where using the phone that could be your problem.

Check out the web site http://www.wireless.att.com/coverageviewer/ to see if you have coverage in your area. The new GSM trackphones run off the AT&T network. You can still get trackphones that run on Verizon's network, they don't use a sim card. You can check the coverage map at http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/CoverageLocatorController?requesttype=NEWREQUEST to see if that has better coverage.

Both phones should be available for purchase still at RadioShack. Verizon and AT&T don't won't people to know that these phone run on their networks because they both have thier own pre-paid phones at much hire prices.
