my wife just bought a new (to her) phone. it is a new old stock phone, a Samsung Gravity .txt (specs here https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_gravity_txt_t379-4123.php ). she HAS to have an old phone, as she can not understand how to use a decent phone, i have tried! it came with an unlock code, which i think i did correctly. when i check using the code i found online it says it is unlocked. anyway, it was originally a T Mobil phone, and weare trying to use a tracfone safelink service. so we called tracfone, and followed their recommendations, and bought a tracfone BYOP sim card kit. i installed it this morning, and tried to activate it. after talking with a nice lady (from India i think) she told us that we need a verizon sim card, because they own the cell phone tower nearest us. ok,fine, so i go to the tracfone site to order one, and that is where i get confuzed. tracfone says the sim card is a CDMA card, and according to what i read, this is a GSM phone. and i thought the two were not compatible. i am not worried about the cost of the sim card, i just do not want to get something that will not work at all. will this work?
