Do any Tracfones sold on QVC etc. use AT&T/T-Mobile towers?

Are there any GSM Tracfone smartphones available or have they been phased out?

I could be wrong , i think they are mostly CDMA now , one of my first ones was AT&T , Verizon bought Tracphone , i don't know when that will go into affect.

I've purchased several Tracfones from HSN and have never seen one.

I have not seen one for several years. All the specials on QVC or HSN are always CDMA network instead of GSM.

I ended up buying an unlocked Nokia with BYOP card so I could use Tracfone service.

I buy my 1 year card this time of year when they have a coupon for amount off. They have $50 off coupon right now on the $125 one year service card.

Please contact Tracfone before buying an unlocked GSM Phone.

You may want to consider the Nokia phone mentioned by @Nightowlz

Mine is the cheaper Nokia 2.3 which was all I needed so I can text. Not interested in spending a lot of money for a phone or the service. From what I have read it will not work with Verizon once things switch over?

I would make sure whatever you buy it will work with Verizon or other service you may use after these Tracfone $125 card ends.
