Note that the restored data is less than what I had before the loss.
TracFone rep aid that this is because this is the largest numbers that they can enter into the system. My large accumulation is due to the fact that I signed up with TracFone when I retired in 2004 and use the phone very little.
TracFone rep also sent me a text advising me that their policy on unlocked cell phones used by prior carries has changed because of program issues on the phones.
In response I wrote them back advising that I purchase the S8 new unlocked from Best Buy in or about 2017 and that it has never been assigned to another carrier.
The phone has performed will until this even.
It is still a fact that my property rights on the balances have been diminished becuase the credits are less that what I had before this event.

I am not suggesting any one sign up. This does suggest that there is enough potential for a significant recovery to interest a a large law firm.
If this occurs again I plan to file my own law suit in the Johnson County Small Claims Court where I have neen successful in making recoveries before.
