Total Call Mobile I bought a phone and prepaid service from Total Call Mobile. 1
Dea 2010/08/02

I bought a phone and prepaid service from Total Call Mobile. The phone worked about a third of the time (nobody could hear me). I sent the phone in to get it repaired, and when it came back after almost a month, it still didn't work. I just called their customer service and they tested it and it didn't work. The guy says: We have a no refund policy, then he transfers me to a supervisor. This guy doesn't believe that the phone doesn't work because they have calls made and received on their records - I was testing it of course, and it wasn't working. I had also called voicemail and heard messages - I could hear, that wasn't the problem. I had used it for messaging, also fine for that. But because of those things, he claims that the phone was working. They have a no refund policy and now it is more than 30 days after I received the phone (the first time!), so it is past the warranty period! He says: the best thing to do is to buy a new total call mobile phone. Yeah. I feel totally screwed!

I am an Australian, Bought the phone in Las Vegas. Was supposed to have unlimited calls for two weeks. Now asking for refill after less than a week. Unable to contact an operator only voice message asking for credit card payment. Ripoff.

Kay 2010/06/08

Great prepaid service provider, no roaming or dropped calls. Now they have an unlimited plan which is great for someone who text messages all the time.

MS 2010/03/16

Definitely the best pre-paid around!
But I’m reluctant to buy there product because their phones do not have price list and it’s impossible to know (from the coverage) if my area is covered.


Total Call Mobile I have had Total Call for over three years on my prepaid phone 1
Terry 2010/03/09

I have had Total Call for over three years on my prepaid phone and had never had any trouble with them until today! I purchased a 10.00 card at B.P. gas station like i do every other day. Dialled 611 and proceeded to punch the numbers in. The recording said and i quote that it had been received and i had a 10.00 balance. Next morning i go to use the phone and it tells me my balance is zero! Customer service sucks. Anyone there could not understand a word i was saying. So after i beat my head against the wall three times with three different workers, i decided to give it a rest realizing if he made no sense then how will he understand me.So shame on you Total Call for losing a regular three year customer over ten dollars that your service had screwed up!

Matt 2009/11/08

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.

Don 2009/11/02

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.


Total Call Mobile As a representive of TCM, I can reassure you there is no scam 3
TCM Employee 2009/10/02

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.

Ron 2009/09/23

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
LE. M.M. 2009/05/25

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.


Total Call Mobile This has to be the cheapest plan you can ever get. The minutes 5
Shelby 2009/01/29

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
