Title: List of BYOP compatible phones
Post by: Matt on May 28, 2016, 10:25:53 am
List of phones compatible with TracFone's BYOP program

Welcome! I have decided to make my own list of phones compatible (and not compatible) with TracFone's BYOP program. I have tested only a few phones, so if you have a phone that works, be sure to leave a comment and I'll add it to the list. Keep checking back, because as I discover more phones that do I'll update the list.

What do GSM and CDMA mean?
GSM phones work with AT&T and T-Mobile.
CDMA phones work with Verizon and Sprint.
In most cases, both types will work with TracFone.

This is a huge thread, so if you want to find your phone easily, try using the find function (CTRL+F) on your browser.

iPhone 4s (Verizon version) is unlocked and can be used on BYOP CDMA and GSM (with a SIM).

Thank you. I'll be sure to add that to the list.

You should also add the Nokia Lumia 822 and LG Ally to the list, I have tested both on TF and they have both worked with no issues.

Thank you. I've updated the list. The 822 working might also mean the 820 works, since the 822 is just a variant of the 820.

The 820 is GSM, but it still might be the same.

I just tested the Moto G 2015, the 32GB model. Everything so far works, the data is very fast. My sister owns the phone and hasn't had a complaint about the service so far.

The Nexus 5 and the Nexus 5X (it is 5x, not 5s) both work just fine

I will add the Moto G and the Nexus 5 and 5X. I am an iPhone user so my brain got the 5X and 5S confused  :D

How about separating CDMA and GSM?
Especially since the newer ones (MOTO G etc), can do both, but there are various scattered
reviews on how well these phones work with Tracfone CDMA (Verizon).

I bought a used Note 4 N910W8 (Canadian, or "international" version) a few months ago. All the Tracfone features work perfectly with it.

I have found that unlocked and international versions of phone work very well with TracFone, including my LG G4 Beat and the Moto G3.

Thank you both. I have updated the thread. Sorry for the wait.

That's a good idea. I'll see if I can find a way to do it in the thread without it becoming too confusing.
