You do realize that you don't need any airtime credit on the phone to
dial 911, right? Even an expired Tracfone can call 911.
So yes, not having a valid working refill card is certainly an
inconvenience, but in "a world where dialing 9-1-1 could mean the
difference between room break-ins and timely rescuers" you were not in
any more danger without a valid pin that you were with one.

Re: New Tracfone Worry
JoshIII wonders:
Does TracFone still offer the $50/year airtime service
plan (no minutes included), or the $5/month plan (no minutes included)?
They offered both these plans several months ago, but apparently were only
temporary marketing experiments and since discontinued.
