Tracfone Closing 3G CDMA Network- (Now Extended to end of 2020)

List of VoLTE Compatible Phones - Network Closure End of 2020

The latest news and information from TracfoneReviewer.

Tracfone Closing CDMA Cell Network 2020

Starting a early in 2019, some Tracfone users received messages from Tracfone that their CDMA devices won't work with Tracfone by the end of 2019. For a CDMA phone to work it must have VoLTE enabled in order to make calls.

What does this mean for you and why is it happening? We've got those answers for you plus additional information on phones that are VoLTE capable.

UPDATE: Verizon has decided to push back the closure until the end of 2020, thus allowing Tracfone users to also have a little more time before they will need to upgrade phones. We will continue to update with more information soon.

Tracfone has also confirmed that they are pushing back the date until the end of 2020 when users will need to have VoLTE compatible devices to send and receive calls. Users may still have 3G service going into 2021, but likely in the coming months that will start to disappear.

Why is Tracfone Shutting Down 3G and 2G CDMA Networks?
Many users are asking why Tracfone is shutting down their network and forcing them to get a new phone.

The answer is, Tracfone uses Verizon's networks, and Verizon is shutting down their 2G and 3G networks which will affect any Tracfone CDMA devices using these networks.

Verizon has been planning this closure for several years and planning accordingly by including VoLTE with the phones they sell. But Tracfone doesn't seem to have planned it out so well, with only some of their more recent phone offerings including VolTE so some users will have to get a new phone to maintain service coverage.


Why do you need a new phone to get service? The answer is VoLTE capability.

What is VoLTE and Why Do I Need It?
The term VoLTE simply stands for Voice over LTE (with 4G LTE meaning 4th Generation Long Term Evolution) which means phone calls use the LTE data networks rather than the older voice networks.

In the past (and with many of Tracfone's CDMA phones), smartphones would use the LTE networks for data, while using the 2G or 3G networks for voice calls.  Only phones that are VoLTE capable can make voice calls on the 4G LTE network. Thus, with Verizon closing 2G and 3G networks, only VoLTE capable phones will be able to make calls.

Some may be asking why Verizon needs to close their 2G and 3G networks? The reasoning is that they will be able to repurpose these bands for higher speed 4G LTE and possibly 5G in the future.

Do I Need to Upgrade my Tracfone CDMA Smartphone?
If you received a message from Tracfone that your phone is not compatible after 2019, then you will likely need to buy a new phone.

Check out the Latest Tracfone Smartphones available.

However, in some cases it seems that the VoLTE capability can be 'turned on' for an account/SIM card. Information is still difficult to nail down, and how or why this works is also a bit murky, but some users have reported several different methods for getting VoLTE on their phone.

This only is working on somewhat newer phones, like the Samsung Galaxy J3 Sky, Sky Pro, and Luna among others. It may be worth trying before going out to buy a new phone.

To try and enable VoLTE turn off your phone, remove the SIM card and remove the battery (if possible) and wait for 20 minutes. Then reinstall the battery and SIM, and turn the phone on. To check if the phone has VoLTE, make a call and look in the top bar to see if the phone switches from 4G LTE coverage to 4G or 3G. If the phone switches out of 4G LTE, it is not using VoLTE.

Additionally, some users reported transferring service from a non VoLTE enabled device to a VoLTE capable device, and then transferring back and keeping the VoLTE. Activating a new SIM card in your phone may also turn on VoLTE.

Tracfone didn't activate VoLTE on the phones they were selling until more recently, but many are capable, they just need to be activated.

So what phones are VoLTE capable?

The phones listed below are compatible with VoLTE according to Tracfone. Any phone currently on the Tracfone website is also compatible. Any recent phones from the last two years are also compatible. This list is not complete, and we will continue to add to it as we learn more.

4. Tracfone Airtime!

For Tracfone users, additional airtime is always great and a very practical gift idea. There are a number of different airtime card amounts, and some cards that are specifically for smartphones. Tracfone airtime cards can often be found in most retail stores such as Target and Walmart.

• 60 Minute Regular Airtime Card
• $25 Smartphone Only Airtime Card

5. External Battery Pack

Solar Battery Pack

Have you ever been away from a charger when your phone ran out of power or just want to make sure you're never stuck with a dead phone? An external battery pack is an easy and convenient way to keep your phone charged and ready no matter where you are. Acting as an additional battery that you can charge your phone or other devices from, an external battery is the perfect gift idea for anyone who spends time in the outdoors, or tends to forget to keep their phone charged.

External battery packs come in a variety of sizes and storage capacities, with most smaller than a phone and capable of charging a phone several times. The Anker Powercore 10000 is one great option that is small and portable and will recharge most phones 2-3 times.

View the Anker Powercore 10000 on Amazon for price details.


Or, for the truly outdoorsy people in your life, take a look at this Solar Powered Charger on Amazon.

6. Gift Cards for Apps and Games

If you're not really sure what the latest game or online app the kids are playing a gift card can be a good option and let someone get what they really want. A gift card for Google Play store or Apple App store allows users to purchase apps or games. Amazon gift cards are also a great option as you can get anything from movies, apps, games, toys and more.

7. Bluetooth Headphones and Speakers

One of the best accessories for a smartphone are headphones or portable speakers and there are plenty of great options available. Here are some different options!

JBL Clip 3

The Panasonic in-ear headphones have surprisingly great sound while also significantly reducing outside noises. These are small, yet powerful headphones at a great deal.

For headphones with sound and noise cancelling, consider the Bose Soundlink around ear headphones which can connect to your device wirelessly and includes a long lasting rechargeable battery.

When it comes to speakers, there are many options ranging from small and portable, to large and powerful. Adventurous music listeners will find the JBL Clip 3 perfect for attaching to a backpack or belt while on the go and it has IPX7 Waterproof rating.


The Anker Soundcore is a little larger, and more suited to causal gatherings indoors or out. It has 24hrs of playback time and connects to any smartphone via Bluetooth.

8. Smartwatch

Smartwatches, paired with a smartphone, allow users to answer phone calls, send texts, check notifications and more without touching their phone. Most are also waterproof, for those with active lifestyles, and provide exercise, heart-rate, and sleep tracking.

There are many options available but here are some of the top contenders:

• Apple Series 5
• Garmin Forerunner 35
• Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2
• Firbit Charge 3

9. Extra Storage

A common issue many smartphone users have is running out of storage space. And with most of Tracfone's smartphones only featuring 16 GB internal storage, using a MicroSD card for external storage is a necessary option. External storage is great for adding music, videos, podcasts or more. Most smartphones accept at least 64 GB additional storage, but double check with your model.

The Samsung 64GB MicroSD Card is a popular option that comes with an SD card adapter and is at a great price.

10. Handsfree holder for your car

Stay safe while staying connected with a handsfree phone holder in your car! These holders allow you to follow GPS navigation or talk on the phone while keeping your hands on the wheel.

That concludes our Christmas list of gift ideas for 2019! We hope this helps you find gifts for everyone on your list!

LG Journey (L322DL) Tracfone Review

LG Journey Review - Tracfone Smartphone

Welcome to TracfoneReviewer where we share news, reviews and promo codes!

Tracfone LG Journey (L322dl) Review

Another LG phone has been released by Tracfone for the fall of 2019 just in time for the holiday season.

The LG Journey features a 5.45" HD touchscreen, Android 9 Pie, and quad-core processor with 16 GB storage. This review contains the full list of features and specs, as well as a closer look at some of the main features on this phone.

The Journey could be considered the replacement for the older but still popular LG Rebel 4. However, we see that the LG Journey only has 2 GB RAM and 16 GB internal storage. It does have additional storage capability via an external MicroSD card but many consumers are looking to have at least 32 GB storage if not more.

Tracfone offers a wide selection of smartphones from various manufacturers and the LG Journey release coincides with several other smartphones including the LG Solo and Samsung Galaxy A10e. To keep up with all the new phones coming from Tracfone, see our Latest List of Tracfone Smartphones.

Let's see some of the quick pro's and con's for the LG Journey before we get into the full list of features and specs.

LG Journey Quick Facts

What we Like
5.45" HD touchscreen
Android 9.0 Pie

What we Don't Like
2 GB RAM
16 GB Storage
Quad-core processor

The lack of internal storage could be a problem for many users as the actual available storage after the Operating System (OS) is installed is closer to 8 GB which can quickly be filled with apps, pictures and music. The LG Solo also only has 16 GB storage which is disappointing. We are hoping to see another LG phone with 32 GB storage soon, perhaps in the form of the LG Stylo 5.

There are several other Tracfone smartphones with 32 GB storage available now including the Moto G6 and Samsung Galaxy A10e so if that's an important feature, check those devices out.

The LG Journey is a low-cost device, and as such there will be some corners that have to be cut.  Let's look at the full specs to learn more.

Tracfone LG Journey (L322DL) Features and Specs

Below are the features, followed by the technical specs.

• Android 9.0 Pie
• 4G LTE Coverage
• WiFi
• GPS
• Accelerometer
• Bluetooth 5.0
• Fingerprint sensor
• Alarm Clock
• FM Radio
• Access to over 1 Million Apps on Google Play Store
• Voicemail, Caller ID, Call Waiting
• SMS/MMS

LG Journey Technical Specs

• Size: 5.78'' x 2.81'' x 0.32'' and 5.18 OZ
• Camera: 8MP Rear Camera (Flash, Autofocus, Burst shot) and 5MP Front Camera
• Screen: 5.45" HD+ FullVision™ display with 1440x720 resolution
• Processor: 1.4 Ghz Quad-core (Qualcomm MSM8917)
• Memory: 2 GB
• Storage: 16 GB (Up to 2 TB additional storage via Micro SD card)
• Battery: 3000 mAh (non-removable) with 14hrs talk time, 13 days standby

The manufacturer of the Journey is one of the largest electronics companies in the world with cell phones one of their strengths. LG has a variety of different phones ranging from budget to flagship and a number of them are compatible with the Tracfone BYOP program (such as the new, LG G8).

Looking through the specs on the L322DL Journey we see some nice improvements over previous LG models including the large touchscreen with a slim bezel and latest Android OS. However, a number of the specs, such as the RAM, ROM, battery and camera don't appear to be a significant improvement over last years models such as the Rebel 4, and there are some interesting differences compared to the recent LG Solo.

Let's get into the full review to find out.

Tracfone LG Journey Review

Touchscreen
The touchscreen is a 5.45" HD display with rich, bright colors. It has a resolution of 1440x720 with a pixel density of about 296 which means the display is sharp and clear.

Most smartphones are moving towards larger screens by increasing the vertical size of the phone but not changing the width and the LG Journey follows this trend. Overall the screen is a nice feature on this phone and overall a good size for most users.

Tracfone LG Journey Review

Internal Specs - RAM, Memory, Processor
When it comes to the performance and storage on the Journey, it will accomplish most everyday tasks and run most apps but don't expect to use it for any resource intensive apps or games.

The Journey comes with a 1.4 Ghz Quad-core processor which can handle a wide variety of tasks and functions without much of a problem but isn't really built for running anything too demanding.

Rather disappointingly, the Journey only has 2 GB RAM and 16 GB internal storage. Most other smartphones from Tracfone also only have 2 GB RAM (whereas most unlocked phones in the $150-200 price range have 3 GB) but the low amount of internal storage (about 8 GB after the OS and other pre-loaded apps are taken into account) doesn't leave much room for storing apps and media.

If running out of storage space has been a problem for you before, or you like to load a lot of photos, music or other media, then the Journey might not be a good choice. There is a MicroSD card slot for up to 32 GB additional external storage.

Camera
We don't see anything too fancy with the camera but it does shoot 5 MP photos with the front camera, and 8 MP images with the rear facing camera. It also comes with autofocus, flash and a handful of other features like 'food mode', 'auto mode' and 'Portrait'. The LG Solo also features the same camera setup.

For video the camera is capable of recording full HD in 1080p.

Battery
With the 3000 mAh non-removable battery the LG Journey will run through the day with a talk time rating of 14 hours and when on standby, 13 days. the combination of a slightly smaller screen and newer operating system lead to the Journey achieving better battery performance compared to the LG Solo.

Android OS
Currently the latest version of the operating system, the LG Journey come with Android 9.0 Pie. This version has a number of visual and performance upgrades over previous versions. It is very good that Tracfone is offering this device with the latest Android version.

It is usually best to have the latest Android OS on your phone for both the security fixes and also to access the latest features and improvements.

Overall Design
The design of the Journey is slim and sleek, following the general tradition of most LG smartphones. It does not have a fingerprint reader unfortunately (which the Solo does include).

Volume and power buttons are located on the side of the phone with the charging and 3.5mm headphone jack on the bottom.

Conclusion
Most budget phones are a trade-off with certain features left out to reduce the cost and the LG Journey certainly cuts corners when it comes to the performance and storage. But otherwise the Journey has a nice, large screen, latest Android version, very adequate photo capabilities and is available from several retailers bundled with airtime for a pretty good price.

For users who don't need the storage or performance, the LG Journey might make a nice upgrade to the LG Rebel or other older devices from Tracfone

Buy the LG Journey with airtime bundle from HSN or QVC for $69

Also find the Journey on the Tracfone website and from BestBuy without airtime.

And take a look at phone tutorials for the Journey and the User Guide.

Let's take a quick look at how it stacks up to a couple of other Tracfone devices.

LG Journey Compared to the LG Solo, LG Rebel 4 and Samsung Galaxy A10e

The LG Rebel 4 was released over a year ago (in 2018) but shares several of the same specs as the LG Journey including the same amount of RAM, storage, and camera megapixel count. They also share the 1.4 Ghz quad-core processor.

The Journey improves on the Rebel with a larger screen, newer Android OS, and newer Bluetooth version.

Looking at the new LG Solo that was just released we see that the Journey has the newer Android (S (9.0 Pie) and newer Bluetooth, but smaller screen and only a quad-core processor to the Solo's octa-core. Otherwise these two phones are very similar.

Compared to the newly released Samsung Galaxy A10e, the Samsung devices as more storage, at 32 GB, the same Android OS (9.0 Pie) and a larger screen. They both have the same amount of RAM and megapixel count for the cameras.

The A10e retails for a bit more, but the extra internal storage and larger screen might be worth it for some.

That concludes our review of the LG Journey from Tracfone. We hope you found it useful and leave a comment with any thoughts or questions.
