I just wanted to take a moment to share with everyone a little unknown fact. Trac phones are the new cool thing to have and it is great that we are able to buy and sell them on ebay. However A lot of people don't know that once a trac phone is activated it is only good for a year or however long it is activated for, once that year expires the phonre is expired as well and if that phone stays inactive for a certain period of time that phone cannot be hooked up as a trac phone ever again the phone itself becomes defective. I know this is very hard to believe but I bought a trac phone on ebay and called the trac phone company. This information that I shared with you is exactly what the company had told me. Some people do not want to believe this fact because, they have not experienced it for themselves. I am just sharing because it is very important for buyers to know when a trac phone was last activated or if it still is. It will save everyone a great headache if you are a buyer and you ask the seller or if you are a seller and you include that information in your auction listing. If you are listing a trac phone for sale and you don't know the last time a trac phone was activated, You should put that in the listing as well. Thank you for taking the time to read my little tid nit of information.
