Net10: What Are the Pros and Cons?
Prepaid Phone Plans – No Credit Check
How Net10 Plans Work
In the summer of 2023, NET10 began to prepare for closure as its website started recommending that potential customers use Simple Mobile instead. As a result, NET10 plans are largely no longer available to new customers. This website page remains in place for historical purposes.
NET10 Wireless was an MVNO that used to operate on all 4 major networks, Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile. However, the company was bought by Verizon Wireless, and new subscribers used the Verizon network for coverage. Net10 was founded in 1996 and is one of several brands that are under the Tracfone umbrella owned by Verizon.

I really hope the Net10 service does not change. I have been really happy with Net10 service fut about 10 years here in Northern Virginia.
I continually have to keep changing my sim card witn Net10. Changing the SIM means my phone is a paper weight for 2-3days until I get the SIM in the mail, activate it, and wait the 24 hours OR spend 2 hours on the phone with tech support to have them push the activation through quicker. I’ve had at least 3 new sims in the past 18 months. Also there is NO WARNING. So I’ll wake up and suddenly all my texts are being blocked. 2 hours later, no calls will go through. Can’t use data (Even though I have a 4G signal and all bars.) I can’t use wifi calling. Phone = paper weight. Not ideal if you need no kidding reliable service.
I have an unlocked ATT phone, and had an ATT sim, a TMobile SIM and now waiting on a verizon sim that kmfx will work with my ATT phone?!
i have been a net 10 customer for years. i was told that the 3G towers would be shuting down and that i needed to upgrade my phone to the new 4G VOLTE\HD VOICE or my phone would stop working in feb 2022. i replyed after calling the manufacturer that my phone was a 4G LITE VOLTE\ ENHANCED HD VOICE COMPATIBLE. they tell me that it is not that i need to up grade my phone and that they could send me one from there store. i tryed to reassure them that it was. and they said that when the 3G TOWERS shut down that i would not have service any more. I said that i would take my chances .i spent about 2 weeks researching and talking to different techs at net 10 before a tech told me not to worry that my phone was quite capable of the new VOLTE\HD VOICE. And he was right feb 2022 it was still working great. Now on 7\8\22 5 months later i tryed to make a call but was redriected to net 10 and was told that my serivce was shut down and that i need to upgrade my phone or i would not have any serivce. i was told that they would send me a upgraded phone that is VOLTE\ENHANCED HD VOICE .I TELL THEM THAT MY PHONE IS a 4G LITE VOLTE\ ENHANCED HD VOICE phone. they said that it need to be upgraded that my phone would not work. i said my phone is a GSM 4G LITE VOLTE\ ENHANCED HD VOICE . so what up grade do i need .there reply was we can send you a new free phone.i ask what upgrade do i need. reply was how about a moto g pure phone.i ask WHAT UPGRADE DO I NEED! reply i sure we can find a better phone than what you have. i ask dose it have a under water cam,a 10,000 mah batt with 2 month stand by time,2 sim cards, 252 gb tf card .reply no .i said i will buy my on phone from the manufacturer where i got my phone. ok click cut off! chat on line with 6 different techs at net 10 got cut off on all chats so i called net 10 told them the same thing all over again . now O you just need to get another sim kit and activate and it will work no problem. i ask can i buy it from you now yes but it would be better if you get it from a store so you can get your phone on faster if you buy here you will have to wait 2 to3 day for it to be mailed. fine igo looking for the net 10 sim kit cant find one go to net 10 site buy a sim kit and anther phone plan. 7\9\22 call net 10 tech he tell me that the problem was that thay dident get my payment .i tell him that i am in the auto refill that my card is on file.

What about WiFi calling? Is it supported by NET10?
