Tracfone is NOT Verizon. Tracfone is not owned, and the service is not offered, by any major carrier. In fact, Tracfones sold in different areas use different networks.
Net10 Wireless, the 10c/minute prepay service just launched by Tracfone, exclusively uses Cingular GSM. But Tracfone is separate from Cingular and all of the major carriers.
A friend who owns an ISP here made an interesting point. Cingular, Verizon Wireless, Sprint PCS, Alltel ... all of those wireless services are owned by wireline companies (in Verizon's case, only 55% because the company that owns the other 45% is not a wireline carrier).
And you know the kind of service the wireline providers offer. :)
Not that I know of.
