Verizon Wireless has the largest and most reliable network of all major carriers in the U.S., which makes Verizon MVNOs a highly desirable option. Verizon uses CDMA technology, but it completed its network transition to 4G and 5G. Verizon is moving all devices to their HD Voice LTE network, which offers superior coverage and performance compared to previous generation networks.

Starting January 1, 2020, Verizon will no longer allow any CDMA (3G and 4G Non-HD Voice). Currently, 3G / 4G non-HD Voice CDMA devices can’t be activated for any new line of service. Devices that will no longer be compatible with Verizon HD Voice LTE network are:

3G only devices, (including 3G basics and 3G smartphones)

4G LTE smartphones without HD Voice support (ex. Apple iPhone 5S or prior)

Connected devices with CDMA

CDMA Network will be still available for its users until December 31, 2020.

Verizon’s service is primarily focused on postpaid customers but in recent months they made quite a few changes to its prepaid offerings which made them more appealing to existing and potential customers. Biggest change is that Verizon has allowed access to LTE to its prepaid customers on July 17, 2014 and after that, it has started allowing it to its MVNOs.

All Verizon MVNOs, however, used to offer throttled LTE speeds, up to 5 Mbps, until recently. In September 2017, TracFone brands that operate on Verizon network have stopped throttling 4G LTE data speeds to 5Mbps but “operate at maximum speed of the network.” This change affected TracFone, Straight Talk, Net10, Total Wireless and Page Plus Cellular.
