TracFone is a prepaid mobile phone provider and a subsidiary of América Móvil. It provides service in the United States, Puerto Rico and the United States Virgin Islands. The company provides four brands of service: TracFone, NET10, Safelink Wireless, and Straight Talk. These brands differ not only in their logos and prepaid minute rates but their underlying networks: TracFone service is limited to TracFone-branded handsets; NET10 is a related offering, using both CDMA and GSM phones from Kyocera, LG, Motorola, Nokia, and Samsung, all of which support voicemail and text messaging at a minimum; SafeLink provides a free cell phone and a limited number of voice minutes each month for low-income-eligible families; and Straight Talk offers two different value-based 30-day rate plans - a $30 limited plan, and a $45 unlimited text, web and minutes plan, relying on Verizon's CDMA 1xRTT network.
