It's nice for those that can still buy the Tracfones. I had to buy an unlocked phone since all the Tracfones are CDMA which will not work in my area. I need GSM to use with AT&T. Have not found one of the Tracfone deals with GSM in well over 4 yrs.

I did not want to pay a lot of money for my phone since I basically use it for texts & grocery apps to pick up orders.

I bought the Nokia 2.3 for $129 which came out Dec 2019. It came with 2 years software updates plus 3 years of monthly security updates. I transferred my mins, text & data from my Tracfone.

At least it has 32gb instead of the 8gb you get with Tracfones. Now I can use the grocery apps. My Tracfone kept telling me I needed to delete apps to work but there was nothing left on my phone I could delete?

Had to buy a Tracfone BYOP GSM Sim-card kit to use with AT&T.

DH bought a more expensive Nokia but he uses it for everything.

Sorry to hear you can no longer use Tracfone due to the network issue (cdma vs gsm). I hope you're liking your Nokia just as much. 

I did want to clarify for people reading this that not all Tracfones come with 8gb of memory. I understand that yours may have had only 8gb but Tracfones, like any other phone, come with different amounts of storage capacity. They come with 8,16, 32, 64 and some may even come with as much as 128 gbs. Not sure about 128, I didn't check on that # b/c I don't need something that large. And, you can always use a microSD card to increase the memory even further.

Just in case someone is wondering about Tracfones I wanted them to know that using one doesn't mean you're limited as far as memory goes.
