The worthless customer service folks at Tracfone just informed
me that, although I purchased a defective LG290C at Walmart with double
minutes for life, the replacement (refurbished vs. new) LG290C they sent me after a
month of horribly frustrating & unsatisfying interactions with said
"customer service", did not have double minutes for life. ...The
supervisor informed me that Tracfone replaced my defective phone out of
their own "kindness". I got ripped off for double minutes for life!
