As part of our effort to give you the best wireless experience, our partners are shifting their focus from 3G networks as they continue to invest in the latest and more improved generations of wireless technology. As a result, the 3G network will be going away and is being replaced with Voice over LTE (VoLTE).

If you are still using a 3G or non-VoLTE 4G device when the 3G network is shut down, you will not be able to make or receive calls, send or receive text messages, or access data services.

Devices that don’t have 4G capabilities will lose the ability to receive data or voice services. You will still be able to use some features on your non-VoLTE phone once the 3G network is shut down, however, you will need to upgrade to a new device & SIM card in order to access the current network.

Like any other phone, basic phones that are VoLTE compatible will work on the new network. However, if your current flip phone does not have 4G capabilities you will not have access to data or voice services.

You will need to upgrade to a VoLTE-capable phone. You may bring your own VoLTE-capable phone or you may purchase one from us.

These changes are already taking place. You may have started experiencing dropped calls or poor connections. Unfortunately, these issues will continue to worsen, and eventually, you will no longer be able to make or receive calls, including emergency or 911 calls.

4G LTE, or VoLTE, lets you enjoy benefits like faster call connection, clearer-sounding calls with HD Voice calling, improved battery life, better conference and video calling, and the ability to use GPS while on a call.*

*Some features may only be available for Smartphones.

VoLTE is included in most of our plans at no extra cost. All you have to do is upgrade to a VoLTE capable phone or make sure to enable VoLTE in your settings (if you already have a VoLTE phone).

All phones available online and in-store are VoLTE-ready.

Yes, you may! You can get a VoLTE-ready phone from the retailer of your choice. You’ll have to activate it with a new SIM Card from us. We’ll point you to the right option for your phone and give you instructions on how to replace it.

No, your current SIM card is not compatible with VoLTE. It is crucial that you do not remove the new SIM card, or switch it with your current one, as this will cause you to lose service.

If you got your new phone (or SIM) from our online store, text the word ONESTEP to 611611 from your old phone and follow the prompts. If you got your new phone or SIM at a local retail store, follow the instructions that came in your package to transfer your service to your new device.

To request a new SIM Card, please click here or call 866-667-6437.

Smartphone customers: You will keep your Plan, balance, and benefits once your upgrade is complete. $30 Plan customers upgrading to a Smartphone will require an Unlimited Service Plan starting at $35. The ALL YOU NEED plan is not compatible with smartphones, and you will lose your minutes, texts, data, and service days along with any Service plan in reserve as they will not transfer. 

Smartphone customers: You will keep your Plan, balance, and benefits once your upgrade is complete.

You can use the Transfer Wizard app to move messages, contacts, images, and more from one phone to the next. All you need is good Wi-Fi.

Your current Straight Talk Service Plan will remain available for use on VoLTE-ready phones at least until Nov. 23, 2024. You will continue to enjoy your wireless service and do not need to take any action until we notify you. We will also post any deadlines for the transition on this page https://www.tracfonewirelessinc.com/en/verizonacquisition. Check back later for more information.
