Notes:
Walmart Family Mobile is a TracFone brand. Verizon aquired Tracfone, including Family Mobile, in November, 2021.
Walmart Family Mobile was originaly a T-Mobile MVNO but Verizon is in the process of switching service to the Verizon network. New Walmart Family phones and SIMs use the Verizon network.
Family Mobile has stopped selling T-Mobile network SIMs but the SIMs are still available on eBay and can still be activated.
Verizon has announced that they will be shutting down service on the T-Mobile network in November, 2024. Customers will presumably be migrated to Verizon before the shutdown.
