A broken mobile phone can be frustrating.

TracFone is one of the largest prepaid wireless providers in the United States. The company offers several different mobile phones that are comparable to those offered by other companies. If your mobile phone is broken, you can receive a replacement phone. All TracFones are covered by a one-year warranty against defects in materials under normal use. A phone may be replaced if you are unable to turn it on or if it turns off unexpectedly repeatedly. Even accessories that you purchase with your phone are covered under the warranty.
