We have had problems with out Family Value Plan for about 4-5 months. Tracfone's systems show we get our updates but we don't. When we press about it we get excuses like it's a Verizon tower issue or the hurricane impacted our Puerto Rico data center.
After investing on average 2 hours a month in chats or calls to get our updates and a Better Business Bureau complaint we have come to the conclusion there might be something seriously wrong with Tracfone systems and updates.
Tracfone's corporate complaint department admitted to us over the phone the excuses about the Verizon tower and hurricane damage were not true. They admitted their own systems at corporate are totally unreliable to show updated talk, text and data amounts. They admitted they were having trouble finding what people on the Family Value Plan should really be getting every month. They admitted they added wrong amounts to our phones and maybe skipped months to make up for it.
So please keep our experience in mind when thinking about a Family Value Plan. You'll find nothing about it on their website so you will have no way to validate any of your claims or answer your questions. We even screenshot our amounts the day before and of when our card got charged and could prove they didn't update, but Tracfone techs will tell you their system shows indication they were updated. You have no recourse.
Tracfone had been an awesome solution for us for years and it's possible their other plans are great too. Not discouraging anyone from using Tracfone, but the Family Value Plan? You've been warned.
