Tracfone Customer Service Ranking & Reputation


J.D. Power's 2023 wireless customer care study puts Tracfone in the top 4 for customer satisfaction among the "value" MVNOs (distinguished from "standard" MVNOs) with a ranking of 777 points (out of a maximum 1,000 points). Still, this falls behind the segment average of 822 points and puts Tracfone well behind competitors like Consumer Cellular (869 points) and Mint Mobile (864 points). With Verizon's acquisition of Tracfone, customers may hopefully benefit from expanded support options, which could result in a better experience overall.

Why Choose Tracfone?


Tracfone is a great option for customers aiming to pay for only what they user. Shying away from the "unlimited everything" craze, Tracfone only offers limited data plans in smaller chunks with add-ons available, plus an option for unlimited talk and text with no data at all. And since Tracfone offers excellent coverage on Verizon's network, customers have access to the best 4G LTE network in the country without paying high prices or purchasing data they won't use. In our review, we found that Tracfone delivered fast mobile data speeds, affordable data packages, and a good phone selection. Plus, Tracfone is easily accessible, as plans are sold in retail locations across the country.

Tracfone Coverage


Tracfone is a mobile virtual network operator, which means it provides service using another carrier's towers. With previous agreements to operate on all three U.S. wireless networks, Tracfone was purchased by Verizon 2021 and now operates solely on Big Red's 4G LTE and 5G networks. This is excellent news for Tracfone customers, as Verizon leads the pack in 4G LTE coverage, the primary connection technology throughout the country. The caveat: Verizon's (and therefore Tracfone's) 5G network lags behind both T-Mobile's and AT&T's, though where available, it provides significantly faster speeds. Check out our guide to U.S. phone network coverage to see which major network has the strongest footprint near you.

Switching to Tracfone


Switching to Tracfone is simple—you can even bring your own phone with you to the network as long as it is compatible. First, check your phone's compatibility using your EMEI number or pick out a new phone to purchase directly from Tracfone (hint: you can snag some exclusive phone deals when you switch to Tracfone!). Then select your preferred plan and enter your phone number, if you're bringing it with you to the network. Lastly, wait for your Tracfone SIM card to arrive or follow the prompts for activating your phone's eSIM. You can also purchase a Tracfone plan and SIM card in retail locations across the country.

Tracfone offers several phone plans in a variety of data packages, though Tracfone does not offer any unlimited data plans. Most plans include unlimited talk and text, with additional options for specific amounts of talk minutes and text messages for those who don't often use their phones at all. Tracfone also has a plan that includes mobile hotspot capability for working and streaming on the go. If you frequently make calls internationally, there are also add-on options that offer calling to Mexico and Canada.
