Solve for tracfone issues.
 

I think I solved the issue with the tracfones not working for some people. After headaches and a lil trial and error. I realized that everyTIME my tracfone worked with verification it had a white SIM card with BLACK lettering. The other day I purchased some tracfones from the dollar store not (usually go to Walmart) cheaper price convinced me.

Okay anyways these tracfones from the dollar store had white SIM cards with BLUE writing. They did NOT work at ALL. I tried 5 different ones no luck. Changed phone numbers nothing. Seems not to be communicating for some reason. But I hope I could have helped someone with this post!

Cheers!

A lot depends on which network the Tracfones are using. Some use AT&T others use T-Mobile. You can tell which one based on if there is a P4 or P5 at the end of the model number. I can send a picture later of what I mean.

I wasn't aware of that thanks tho twocolt. Maybe different providers don't work at times?

Re: Solve for tracfone issues.
 

so which one is better p4 or p5 ?

Re: Solve for tracfone issues.
 

The P4 has the AT&T Sim card and P5 is T-Mobile. It all depends on which network works in your area. Where you will see the P4 is above the activation Barcode..... Not the UPC code. :)

They do but only on phones that originated using Verizon that now make a prepaid version for Tracfones. However you can't take a phone you have been using on Verizon and switch it to Tracfone.
