MVNOs (i.e. Tracfone) with the OP3

[Laila Taylor]

Hi guys. Is there anyone here using an MVNO with the OP3? I use Tracfone and just activated it with a nano sim from the Tracfone Activation Kit, which should give me AT&T service. I also entered the APN settings as designated by Tracfone. When I check the SIM Status, it says "Voice: In Service / Data: In Service." However, when I reboot the phone it says "No Service" on the lock screen, and I'm unable to make calls or use data. Tracfone said everything was fine with my account on their end, so I'm at a loss.

Am I missing something? How did you get yours to work?

If I can't get this working in a day or two, I'll have to re-activate my Note 3 and consider returning the OP3, sadly.

Cricket works with OP3 - LTE, visual voicemail, sms, mms. I didn't need to do any manual configuration. Cricket is owned by AT&T, so may get preferential mvno treatment.

Well, I figured out that Tracfone did not transfer my minutes, texts, and data to the new phone, which explains why I had no service. Now I've got it restored and can make/receive phone calls and text. However, I still can't use data for some reason. Hmm...

Update: Using the APN settings from Straight Talk is giving me LTE. I will be testing this out over the weekend.
