In late November of 2021, Verizon announced that it had closed on its acquisition of Tracfone and all of its associated brands. Some Tracfone brands, like Straight Talk Wireless, have always been available for use on any major carrier network in the USA, while others, like Simple Mobile and Walmart Family Mobile, are only available for use on the T-Mobile network. With Verizon’s takeover of all the Tracfone brands, it was only a matter of time before Verizon would want to move each brand over exclusively to its network. For some Tracfone brands, that time is approaching more quickly than others.

I ordered a TracFone SIM card, thinking it would be Verizon. It wasn’t as they were still using the old system. Looks like I will need to buy a Verizon SIM card soon.
