This is probably a phone question.......kind of a mini mini computer thing.....

Please……I need help with my phone. Tracfone actually…..so, got a message that the phone service I’ve had since I”ve been a phone user. Lotsa years!!!! Anyway, got a message that google message was going to take over our phone service in July, so why not do it now. Ok did AND OMG MY TEXTING capability is completely gone. Can’t find any text’s I’ve sent, can’t see any texts I’ve received, ALL GONE. I ask for help it says no info found, I ask for messages it says, no messages found. I know it’s hacked so what can I do??? DAMN IT.

2. Are tracfones still made? They are pretty old and maybe new services don't support them any more.
