why go with tracfone tho? from what ive read from my research t-mobile seems to be the easiest to get to port the landline over then to google voice. to get it working.
Perhaps more people that posted have used T-Mobile. The process is the same and should be just as easy. If you want to you can make sure you get a Tracfone with a T-Mobile sim, but it doesn't matter.
You should be able to find plenty of old Tracfones. Likely at least one friend has one or knows someone that does. I have several hundred. Like myself, I can send anyone one for $5 shipping and Tracfone will give you a new sim. I have sims also but for the novice it is better to get it from Tracfone.

i tried putting the tmobile sim i got from the tmobile activation kit into a tracfone and it said sim locked. wouldnt go past the emergency 911 only screen. got a 20$ tmobile prepaid phone tonight im going to try that and see how it works. i called tmobile they said i need to give them the verizon landline account # and pin. i dont think i have any pin for my verizon landline.

Tracfone, Net10, Safelink and Straight Talk branded phones have proprietary firmware that will only work when their sim card is present. And their sim cards will only work with that proprietary firmware. All their unused sim cards are the same, but become locked to the phone once the phone is powered up.
Only a couple of their phones will go past the emergency call message to access anything.

Check your phone bill. With ATT, there are digits after your phone number on the bill.
