I agree with Travies - I liked what I read about service but could not find price of phone. So -- I'm off to another service.

Does anyone know if you can bring a Sprint CDMA phone to Total Call Mobile? I have one that I would like to bring. This seems to be the only company that roams.

Total Call Mobile is the BEST Prepaid Company by far.... when it comes to a complete and flexible offer!! You can load a $50 unlimited plan 1 month then a $5 anytime refill when it expires if funds are tight and still be active and talking with no interruptions.

As a representive of TCM, I can reassure you there is no scam between TCM and Babblebug. If you have paid for minutes and the minutes were not used, please call CS: 800 550-5260. Internally, we can check to see if the minutes were loaded and we can give you an itemization of every single minute/cent used. Our rates are competitive in the market, with no roaming and no hidden fees.

I believe that Total Call and Babble Bug
are trying to scam their clients. I purchased minutes before the due date that my minutes would expire. A few days later, expecting the minutes would be there my account was zero. I am retired and use my phone usually for emergency calls.


Total Call Mobile Wow... Great Plan and Great service. I just got one of their 5
Rusty 2009/07/02

Wow... Great Plan and Great service. I just got one of their phones because I needed a plan that would let me manage my expenses and I needed an affordable phone. I was looking at their website and just learned they have free international calling. Now I can call my brother stationed in Germany. And their customer service is really friendly...


Total Call Mobile Greatest mobile phone I have ever used and will continue to use 5

Greatest mobile phone I have ever used and will continue to use for a very long time. I think other people will start to use it also, thank you for asking.


Total Call Mobile I'm not a phone talker, just have one in case of emergency or 4
Chuck 2009/05/17

I'm not a phone talker, just have one in case of emergency or need to make a quick call for something. When you only need to pay $10 for 100 minutes every 3 months, that deal beat everybody else hands down ($25 for 60 minutes every 3 months). Plus the minutes carry over if you pay for the renewal minutes before the 90 deadline.

I only give this 4 stars because their phones are refurbished and not in 100% perfect condtion (loose casing held together by tape right now), but it works so that is the important thing.

This has to be the cheapest plan you can ever get. The minutes last forever and the phone service is pretty good. The phones arent bad either. Good deal!

Travis 2008/07/14

I am not a subscriber, but when looking into this service I found that the coverage map is possibly the hardest map to read that I have ever seen. I want to add that there is no listing for prices of their phones
