My Experience Calling 800-867-7183

Nov 28, 2023

This customer service number exists primarily to assist existing TracFone Wireless customers. When calling, having your TracFone number, your phone’s serial or SIM number, or an existing ticket number handy is helpful. Callers are prompted to enter one of these numbers before being connected to a customer service representative.

I called this number to learn more about the phone service plans available at TracFone Wireless. I was greeted with an automated message providing a menu of well-delineated options. Among the choices were activating phone service, changing a phone number, and receiving technical support. The menu also had a catch-all option for general customer support.

I chose the latter option and, at this point, was prompted to enter my TracFone number or one of the other pieces of identifying information mentioned above. Since I didn’t have any of these numbers, I was instructed to continue to hold for the next customer service representative.

Once connected to a representative, I asked some basic questions about which TracFone plan might be best for me. The representative was amiable but quickly directed me back to the TracFone website for additional information. He indicated that TracFone had more than 20 available prepaid cellphone plans and that the best way to compare those plans was to review the details on the company’s website.

After calling this TracFone support number, it’s clear that the primary intent is to provide customer service to existing customers. All of the automated menu options are geared toward those who already have plans with TracFone (or who wish to restart service with the company). Prospective customers might be better served by researching phone plan options on the TracFone website, as you’ll likely be referred there by the customer service reps anyway.   

It’s also useful to be aware that TracFone representatives are available every day from 8 am to 11:45 pm ET. When I called outside of these hours, I was connected to an automated message instructing me to call back during business hours.

The recorded messages on this number also provide useful information about additional ways to get answers to common customer questions or concerns. The system provides straightforward instructions about how to get help via text message, the TracFone My Account app or the company’s website.

Based on my call to TracFone, I would be confident that existing customers could get assistance for various issues by calling this customer service number. Those who don’t already have a TracFone Wireless account are likely better off searching the company’s website for information before calling.

More Ways to Contact TracFone Wireless Customer Service

There are of course other ways to contact TracFone Wireless customer service besides the phone. Below we list the best ones, by medium.
Live Chat
https://www.tracfone.com/contactus - Customer Service
On the right hand side, click on Chat with a live agent.
If phone-based customer service is not available, or the wait times are long, many people prefer chat as a next-best option. Some even prefer it to calling on the phone. Luckily, TracFone Wireless provides this option.
X (formerly Twitter)
@Tracfone - Customer Service
Customer service Twitter feed
TracFone Wireless, like many companies, provides customer service on the X platform (formerly Twitter). While it rarely entails live dialogue with a customer service rep, this channel can yield rapid response times and can be a useful option if you have an X/Twitter account.
Facebook / Messenger
Some customer service teams, like that of TracFone Wireless, accept inquiries through Facebook Messenger. This is a good option if you have a Facebook account, and you may even be able to converse live with an agent this way.
TracFone Wireless's website
As a last, sometimes only, resort- TracFone Wireless customer service can be accessed through their website. This can entail digging through help articles before finding a form and "being allowed" to submit a problem to their team, and rarely leads to a real-time conversation, which is why GetHuman does not recommend this unless it's the only way.
