What is a MVNO?
A MVNO is a Mobile Virtual Network Operator. What it means is the company does not have it’s own cell phone network, it buys minutes from one of the larger carriers. Most MVNO’s only work on one network like Straight Talk just works on the Verizon Network and Virgin Mobile just works on the Sprint network. Tracfone and Net10 are the just about the only MVNOs that can roam from network to network.

If I transfer my Minutes to a new phone do I have to transfer my phone number too?
No you can easily transfer you minutes and service time to a new phone. This new phone can be active or inactive. The phone you are transferring from must have both minutes and service time left.

Can I us an AT&T Go Phone SIM in my Tracfone?
No, you can only use a Tracfone SIM in a Tracfone GSM phone. If you have activated a Tracfone with a SIM card then you can only use that SIM card in that Tracfone. You are not able to move an activated SIM card to another phone or even another Tracfone.

The $200 Tracfone Annual Plan
The $200 yearly Tracfone program is the best deal in prepay phones. No one else offers the length of time you get to use the cellular phone while getting the low minute charge of 6.6 cents a minute if you are using DMFL.
What is Double Minutes for Life
Tracfone Wireless Prepaid DMFL is Double Minutes for life of your phone. With DMFL you will receive twice the minutes which are printed on the Tracfone card. This will work for as long as you own your mobile phone. If you permit your service to lapse the Double minutes for life will continue to work if you reactivate your cell phone. I do not advocate ever adding minutes on a Tracfone that does not have Dmfl installed on the phone. Adding two DMFL cards will not get quadruple minutes.
Buy the Tracfone.com $200 Yearly plan and get one year of service and 3,000 minutes with DMFL. Please be sure you have DMFL installed Before adding the $200 card.

NET10 is the best! Their coverage is simply legendary. I travel often and never have to worry about coverage. The MVNO deals are actually quite innovative in that we can save money AND have excellent coverage – all without signing any contracts. Brilliant!
I agree, if you travel around much and your main phone is a GSM from At&t and you get a CDMA Tracfone you will have coverage everywhere. The best coverage you could get would be to carry both a GSM Tracfone and a CDMA Tracfone.
