We believe the Tracfone iPhone 6 and 6 Plus will both use CDMA networks like the 5S, but have not been able to confirm this. We have also noticed that the iPhones will show up even in GSM areas, so perhaps two versions are available.
We will continue to update this as we gather more information. We expect Tracfone to also release the iPhone SE, iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus sometime in the near future, but no news on exactly when. Visit our post on Apple iPhones coming to Tracfone to learn more.

If you are able to figure out the GSM vs CDMA thing, that would be fantastic. My zip code is considered by Tracfone to be CDMA, but GSM actually works better for me where I live. So, I am trying to figure out if I order the phone, how I can ensure I get the GSM version...
I believe the 149.00 phone is sold out, have not seen it on the site since last weekend. I find it curious that for all the iPhones they do not mention triple calls, texts and data. They do have the smart phone cards, but I am wondering if they are phasing out the triple for all there smart phones.
Odd that Tracfone doesn't make the newest iPhone available. Seems easy enough to include a Tracfone SIM....
HSN has a new samsung phone, the on5 - https://www.hsn.com/products/samsung-galaxy-on5-android-tracfone-with-1350-minutes/8231986?variant=8231989
Do you know anything about this one? Is it similar to the grand prime?
I'm hopeful there's a day where all recent major brands are added to the TracFone fold.
That phone 5s at target is tempting as hell, but im looking forward at the larger screen o the 6 and 6+, probably will wait out the prices for now, Nice to see trac finally releasing their own iphones.
Can I transfer a tracfone non- smartphone number and minutes to a smartphone online?
Yes, you should be able to transfer everything through Tracfone's online process.
I so wish they would offer the iPhones with more memory!!! 15G is paltry, just not enough. I am thankful though that the iPhones are now available!
Can I BYOP for IPhone6 or 6+?
One thing I would like in a phone is a better camera so the iphone interests me. But one thing I wonder is how texting photos via tracfone iphone works. Are photos you send and receive via text a use of data? Or is this a text? And are photos reduced in size that you receive and send like they are on older tracfones?
I bought the iPhone 6 from TF website on Black Friday at a $20 off discount. Easy to transfer over old TF account and TF smartphone, contacts and all. It's a great phone, and even with the discount off right now, still a bargain.
I can't find the iPhone 6s on the website. Help??
For those.still.looking for this phone on the Tracfone webpage- it. Isn't there anymore. I did buy the iPhone from the webpage during that short time frame it was there not knowing it was my last chance. Furthermore I can't find it anywhere else as I wanted to purchase another for a family member. I do love the iPhone I bought and it came new, unopened in a Apple box with all Apple warranty as every Apple product I have ever bought.
The only thing I think of is I know Apple discontinuedthis model and perhaps Tracfone had a very limited number to sell.
What network tower does it use
