TRACFONE COUPON QUESTION

Today, I just bought and entered a 120 minute card into my tracfone.

I was never told by the card to enter a coupon code.

Is there any way to get my coupon code minutes added after the fact?

thanks.

Can you give me a number that lets me talk to a person? I tried the
number on the card and there was NEVER an option to talk to a person.

Translation...your time means nothing to them.

Who do I bill for my time when I have to wait 45 minutes to talk to a
person?

Better yet...go with a REAL carrier where you can talk to and if you
have to scream at a real person.

Better yet...call them on your cell phone...that 45 minute wait will
really cut into that 120 minute card you have.
