Will this phone work with the Tracfone "Bring your own phone" program, which uses CDMA and Verizon network?

As long as you verify with the seller that the Iphone has a clean ESN and also ask for the phones mied # so you can check with TracFone that the phone will work with the byop plan. It worked perfectly in my own experience, less than 15 minutes to activate and transfer minutes from my old phone, but you may loose minutes from what you had on your old phone.

Its a GSM phone so MAKE SURE you have T-mobile service in your area or it'll not work. it will also work if you have good ATT service - but when you register it you have to make sure you use the correct zip - if it doesn't work good call tracfone and ask for an ATT sim card or T-mobile whichever is better. We only have verizon which is why it doesn't work for me as VEr is CDMA network

I would check with Net 10. Tracfone provides the service for both phones Net 10 and Straight Talk.

This phone is unlocked (as are all Verizon 4gLTE phones). I used it with T-mobile, but I would call TracPhone customer service to find out 100%. You want to make sure Tracfone is on a CDMA network. Otherwise it will work, just you will have to run off of the global mode and LTE won't work while you're making a call. That was my experience.

A resounding NO ! Only phones licensed by Verizon can be used on that CDMA network . Verizon network software is proprietary and " imbedded " in their handsets .

No because Verizon is a cdma phone meaning it does not use sim cards like t-moble and at&t which are GSM phones or sim carded phones there are quite a few companys that would work with this phone like straight talk ,net 10,t-mobile ,at&t ,tracfone, any US sim carded cell company should work with this phone Verizon,uscellular,sprint,boost,virgin,criket, and any other cdma none sim card company will not work. For the internet to work u will have to set the apn to gsm cell company you will be using. ;0)

I use an iPhone 4 with tracfone. My mom formerly used it with Verizon, but upgraded and still had her iPhone 4 in a drawer. I used the Bring Your Own Phone program with Tracfone and for 9.99 I was able to activate it with a Tracfone number.

Yes. Since this phone is quad-band and sim card unlocked, it will work with ANY sim card out there. Simply change the settings of the phone from CDMA mode to GSM mode. Do NOT change it to Global mode here in the US since by default it will always pull from a Verizon tower before it will pull from anyone else. GSM mode makes sure the phone will only look for a sim card signal.

You can use this with Tracfone service but you may not get any signal from the location you are in. I was made to understand that this phone when using tracfone works off the Verizon towers for signal. I had no signal at my location in Florida and had to return the phone.

Don't believe so. ATT is on GSM network while Verizon is a CDMA carrier. Look into Straight Talk or Family Mobile. Believe you can bring your own phone with both these providers.

Verizon system is CDMA, not GSM like this phone. I don't think it could work.

Not familiar with Tracfone. This is a world unlocked phone which means they will work on GSM systems with a carrier that will provide you a SIM card for their network as I understand it. Just contact Tracfone and ask these questions they should be willing to help. Works on Consumer Cellular which is an ATT network.

It should. There should be no difference since tracfone and straight talk are the same service.

I don't think so. Verizon uses CDMA, no SIM card. This phone works with GSM, standard size SIM cards.
