gardenman:  Thank you - I do feel very overwhelmed but I have to get over it and get with the times.  Sometimes I feel like an idiot when someone asks me to send a photo of something or I should text them or they start asking me if I have a certain app. and then say I don't use a smartphone - there is always dead silence for a few seconds especially when I mention I have an old fashioned filp phone.  I remember when I first learned to use a computer and they were called "Wang",  I was coming off of an electric typewriter and all the secretaries were flipping out trying to learn this new concept.  But we did and it was great.

What steps did Tracfone require you do to change their provider? Did you have to change SIM cards, and if so, did you then have to deal with both Verizon and T-Mobile?  

When Tracfone used T-Mobile in our area, sometime back, it was the worst connection we had over the years. The next year when I bought we bought new phone from HSN/Tracfone, they were using several carriers and all connections were much better.

I only knows this because my wife uses her Tracfone for everything, and I heard all of her complaints. For me, since my cell phone is seldom even turned on? No way I would have known any of this.

I bought a unlocked phone from Best Buy. And a $1 for a Tracfone Sim kit. The card contained 3 SIM cards one for AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile. 

I inserted the Verizon card and called Tracfone, but they couldn't get it to work. So I inserted the T-Mobile sim and it worked immediately.
