The description says this is a GSM phone - but I thought the Tracfone LG200 was CDMA? Can you verify please?

Tracfone replaced my old Motorola GSM phone (free) with an LG200c (the c means it is a CDMA model). I like it so much that I purchased another for my husband from an Amazon dealer to replace his older AT&T; Motorola phone. It came new in the box, Tracfone ready, really great price! I don't know if LG ever made this phone with GSM technology, but I doubt it.

My phone has written on the back of it 3G CDMA. I hope this information helps.

i believe that all earlier versions are GSM but newer versions are CDMA, you should have it verfied for the specific one you are buying.

My daughter and both my parents have this phone and I assure you this LG200 is a CDMA phone.

2 stickers on my new LG200C: one says "3G CDMA" The other says "OTA capable". I got a feeling they don't make this phone any more. Don't sell 'em on the TracFone home site. I like my old one so much I bought 3 for $3 each on Amazon. Chucko

I think so. I live in an area that a sim card phone won't work. It doesn't say CDMA on the package or details. Goodluck

It is simple gsm phone, so it works on ATT wireless network. The web page for Tracfone has a zip code check and shows this for is good.....

Yes, well, Verizon, Sprint, and US Cellular are CDMA networks, not GSM. Sorry.

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

This is a Verizon phone so it uses CDMA not GSM. You have to use Verizon as your carrier.

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.

I bought this in a hurry - was during the black friday sale. Searched for 'GSM cell phone' on Amazon, this was right there along with other actual GSM phone in search results. This is NOT a GSM phone - had it shipped overseas meant as a gift, only to learn that it doesn't have a sim card slot. Is apparently the CDMA phone meant only for sprint network. Do not go for this phone if you're on a GSM network currently. If thinking of making it work overseas - forget about t.

LG800 runs in Tracfone and Net Ten also Straight talk has it but this is a kind of old phone all those carriers have the lG840g and even androids to me unless you just want to talk choose a newer more up to date phone

It is set up as CDMA but has a slot for a sim card though I haven't gotten that open yet, but I don't need to. I did a search on the IMEI number on tracfone, t-mobile, and at&t; to see if I could bring the phone over to any of their networks if I want to. AT&T; and Tracfone both came back as positive so I m sure you could bring it over to the network. They'll just send you a sim and you can use that. Also, when I tried to see what happens when I make a phone call it said I couldn't but I could purchase minutes and a year of service which I thought was great so I could use the phone without a contract basically.

I went to the Tracfone site and entered your zipcode which appears to be Roxboro, NC. Tracfone listed all phones with a G in their model; this means they say it would work well for this zip. This phone is a 420G. The G means GSM in Tracfones world. This would be AT&T (or their affiliates). You would know best if this carrier works where you live. If Verizon is king where you live then you would need to stick with a phone with a C (CDMA) in its model listing.

Yes, it is a cdma Verizon phone. Make sure to check the seller details to be 100% certain as I almost purchased one that wasn't from this same group.

I bought the phone 2 years ago. At the time I was getting ready to retire from the US to Thailand. I needed an unlocked phone, that uses sim cards and ran on the GSM system. At that time AT&T; ran on CDMA. So I had to switch to T MOBILE (GSM) Not sure, but I think those 2 companies merged. That might have changed things there. Please check in an AT&T; store to get the right answer. Since I am here in Thailand I am no longer "in the know". Hope that helps.

This is a CDMA phone. Does your area get Verizon cell phone service? If yes then the phone should work. Don't rely on Tracfone's ZIP code tool - they are trying to sell GSM phones wherever possible (more profit) even if a CDMA phone would also work in that area.

Sorry Judith but I don't have that phone anymore because it lost service so I upgraded to the LG 500G,but you can go to Tracfone.com and register your phone and it has a tutorial that will show you what you want to know.

This is a sim card phone, the carrier has to be GSM and as far as I know TMobile has GSM but AT&T; is CDMA, personally I use simple mobile, it is a spin off company (TMobile based), check with the store

I am not certain I now nothing of the TracFones. The phone..the LG can purchased and used with most plans..period. Only the provider can exclude phones based on their desire to have you buy their phone.....sorry I couldn't help.
