What prepaid service can i use if my phone is blacklisted with tmobile?

If your phone is blacklisted with T-Mobile, you can consider using prepaid services from carriers that do not check for blacklists, such as AT&T Prepaid, Verizon Prepaid, or MVNOs like Cricket Wireless or Metro by T-Mobile. These services typically allow you to use your device as long as it is not locked to a specific carrier. Additionally, you might explore options like Google Fi, which is compatible with many unlocked devices. Always check the compatibility of your phone with the chosen service before purchasing a plan.


Can you have a Verizon phone and Tracfone service?

Tracfone is a MVNO (Mobile Vertual Network Operator) which is a fancy way to say they are a reseller. They buy minutes from Verizon and sell them to their customers. Tracfone is the oldest of the MVNOs. (They weren't even called that back then). Essentially, the network is the same but you pay a lot less on Tracfone's prepaid service. Verizon is a carrier using CDMA technology (as does Sprint). It is difficult to switch CDMA phones from one network to another. Its much easier on GSM which is the technology used by T-Mobile and AT&T. In fact, 95% of all networks in the world are GSM. The Bottom Line - You may be able to find a local Tracfone dealer who can "re-program" (hack) your Verizon phone to work on Tracfone. The main reason you'd want to do this is that Tracfone's service is really cheap but they offer only really crappy phones.
