Sim cards that expired in 2001? Now that's a REAL problem! Someone at Wal-mart could get demoted or fired for putting expired items on shelves.

Tracfone is horrible. You cannot call CS from your phone without racking up airtime and the cost is quite high.

We got rid of our Tracfones when we were spending more per month on the cards then we would if we actually got 2 cell phones. Plus, if we did happen not use all of the airtime up for a particular period and we didn't put more airtime on the phone, they would force us to get a new number each time. After 6 months of there BS, we went ahead and got regular cell phones with a lot less hastle involved.

I can probably count on one hand how many times I have been in a Wal-Mart this year. TWO!

That is sad, but not surprising.

This is one of the reasons I don't go to Walmart, it's either not in stock or its expired, I gave up on them eons ago
