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.
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.
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.
