Add Missing Family Brands Edit Request[edit]

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined. A reviewer felt that this edit would not improve the article.

In ==External links== after ;Family Brands: add

Thank you, Naadobea1776 (talk) 14:40, 21 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Naadobea1776: The external link area was turning into a "link farm". To bring it back in conformance with WP:ELNO I removed all of the family brand external links. But, the parent company template that reflects the family brands was out of date, so I added both GoSmart Mobile and Walmart Family Mobile (and a few others in this article that weren't in it) to the template at the bottom of the article. I also set it to be expanded as a default, so it's more visible for readers. Orville1974^talk 20:21, 23 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Tracfone sale to Verizon[edit]

Verizon is acquiring Tracfone wireless, so where would that info get put? LiamMcBride (talk) 16:51, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I actually am wondering the same thing. I don't think that articles can be put in at this time because any article online is very vague and descriptions would not fit in this WP article. I think we should monitor the news until something is more descriptive and its worth adding here. JasonHockeyGuy (talk) 02:41, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

New section added re Verizon purchasing TracFone and what is its fate. 107.122.85.49 (talk) 17:33, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted section[edit]

I deleted a section for not being encyclopaedic and dominating the article. If someone can summarise it with more relevance, and less gumph, then go for it. Focus on the subject, and a decent article. — billinghurst sDrewth 22:25, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Would be better to revise it yourself. Block deletions of entire sections are discouraged on WP and you would likely be reverted. After all, if you're calling for the section to be rewritten, why delete it before they get that chance? I agree the article needs expanding. 107.122.85.49 (talk) 17:31, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The Fate of TracFone[edit]

I added a new section on the fate of TracFone, which delves into the consequences or fallout of Verizon's acquisition. Seeking contributors to edit and revise and add references, and keep updated as things change. 107.122.85.49 (talk) 17:26, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
