How can I be sure that this phone will operate in my zip code? I need to have it run off AT&T towers to work here.

If you go on the tracfone website and browse for phones, there's a place to enter your zip code. Then you can check to see if this phone make and model are shown for your area.

Just ask the service provider you plan to use. If it is a tracfone, for example, the site will tell you.

This one has a tmobile sim card but tracfone says they are going to ship me an AT&T; sim card this week.

It should. When I talked to the representative he said that it operated off of AT&T;, Verizon, Sprint, and Altell towers. I get signal out where I live which mainly a Verizon area (has mostly Verizon towers, there are NO AT&T; towers around here so it must operate on Verizon towers)

If you go to Walmart's website and look up this phone, you can type in your zip code to see if it will work in your area.

If AT&T; is your provider, just insert you SIM card and all AT&T; network functions will immediately work as they should. You won't even have to visit the local AT&T; store for activation. The phones that are advertised as "compatible" or "unlocked" will not. They must specifically state that the phone is programmed for the AT&T; network as this one does. I bought two phones from this seller in the past year and both are still working fine and have been totally problem free. Even my elderly mother hasn't been able to mess her's up as she did with it's three predecessors (ha! ha!).

the apple store in orlando fl informed me the phone was locked to at&t.; the at&t; store in orlando confirmed, gave me a web site to go to, site requires an at&t; account #. I do not have an at&t; account & do not want one.

What bothers me is that you said you live miles from "coverage," which could mean you show zero bars of signal. That won't work. You need to be inside the AT&T; coverage area and showing some kind of signal. Even one bar with -105 dB will work...but there needs to be something to latch onto.

I don't know, and no one can tell you the answer unless they use the same zip code. But if you call or email Tracfone, they will be the best source for the answer. You didn't identify your state or city, making the coverage more difficult to see on a map. As a general rule, you can enter your zip code on the web site selling the phone. They will reply and let you know if your zip code is covered.

That's up to your phone provider not the phones themselves. If its Verizon AT&T; whoever just tell them to set your lines to rollover.

Look up this phone on Walmarts site, there is a box there to enter zip code, and it will tell you wether the unit is compatible. There are two versions of that phone and I have one and am in Ct. Awesome phone for what ya get though...I'm impressed. Including the lifetime triple mins.... Good luck...

I am no authority on this zip code but you can go on the straight talk website and place the zip code in and it will tell you. It works all over Montana and Idaho! It is a very good non touch phone. Hope this helps.

I don't see why it wouldn't... if it worked at that zip code before. However, if you are eligible for an upgrade you should upgrade...

That particular phone did not meet my needs so I returned it after a very short period of time. I did not use it in the 56143 zip code.

The way the ATT guy explained it. If its a verizon unlocked phone it will hit only verizon towers and the same with att will only go off att towers. I was also under the inpression it will work on both.

Go to the Virgin Mobile site. At the top, on the right, click the RED "Activate" link. Follow the directions. I tried to go thru the process in order to instruct you more clearly, but had to stop at the zip code field. It isn't too complicated. Hope you got it done. :)
