Now that Tracfone is owned by Verizon, the company is gradually letting go of some of the brands from its roster. Last month, the National Wireless Independent Dealer Association (NWIDA) revealed that the brands Net10, GoSmart, and Page Plus will be ending. Dealers were told that they could no longer accept new customers starting November 1st.
As reported by Fierce Wireless, a Tracfone spokesperson gave an update that this will no longer be happening. Customers on these brands can continue to buy plans until November 2024. Meanwhile, California customers have until November 2026 to continue purchasing these plans.
In a statement, the company said:
““TracFone Wireless Inc. is streamlining the brands we proactively market to remain competitive and meet the needs of today’s value-conscious consumers. In compliance with the FCC order related to the Verizon acquisition, both existing and new customers can enroll in plans for the Net10, Page Plus and GoSmart brands until November 2024 (California customers will be able to take advantage of these plans until November 2026).
TracFone is committed to full compliance of the FCC order to assure consumers are protected, while also benefiting from the Verizon acquisition including new offerings like the Total by Verizon brand.”
