• LG classic (tracfone) network issues

    Tracfone is (in my books) notorious for issues and poor technical support but this takes the cake. Over the past few days, I have seen quite a few Lg classics that refuse to make phone calls/send texts. The phone shows full bars but when trying to place a call it says, "your phone has calling restrictions". Customer service has no response except to keep tranferring you until they inevitably hang up. The sim card itself works in other devices... in some cases. Anyone have similar issue?

    i did its because you switched sim card from one phone to another the sim cards need to be programmed by tracfone either by calling them up and registering the sim card with your new device or in some cases the sim card isn't able to be reprogrammed then you have to order a new one

        12345 But the SIM card did work fine in other devices so I am not sure that you are correct.

            Flippy when you insert a Sim in a new device without registering it to the imei it won't stop immediately but after a while it will stop working

              Flippy i heard similar issues. only solution is to switch services

                a factory reset should fix it
