Tracfone users on ATT Towers Pay attention
Public Service Announcement.. Somewhere along the way in the last yr or so, Tracfone has dropped support for ATT cell Towers for NEW USERS AND CURRENT USERS who change phones (upgrade/replacement) ...

Do you have any source links to share?
No "direct" links.
BUT, it is not a "coincidence" that you no longer can find ANY mention of Tracfone using ATTs tower networks on their website.
Totally devoid of ANY ATT references. Trac USED to tout the fact that they were able to use not just Verizon but also ATT towers as a reason to use their service..
You also USED to be able to call AND request SIMs SPECIFICALLY for ATT towers, now, nothing, they are not even willing to say IF it will work.
And interestingly enough, ATT was not able to port our Trac phone numbers. Ohh they did try, but they did tell us that they are not having much success..
Additionally, my DWs Tracfone WOULD REGISTER FULL SCALE LTE SIGNAL at her work, but yet, the Tracfone WAS DEAD, would not dial would not receive, NOTHING. Coincidence, I think not.
The phone that we DIRECTLY bought from ATT with ATTs service NOW WORKS at her work place.. Coincidence, I think not.
The service directly from ATT also gave us back the service that she lost when she changed phones on Trac between our home and the nearest city..
Coincidence, I think not.
Keep in mind, I am not happy to pay $70 per month for 2 phones, that is $840 per yr vs $100 for my phone and $300 per yr for DW.. I would not have taken the step to move to ATT unless I was in dire straights..
