Without knowing your zipcode we have no way of answering that.
Your area code has nothing to do with ordering from Tracfone or Net10

i meant zip code sorry

[Mosaic55]

Uh, so what is your zip code?

[Cannonball-II]

OK. Which company do you intend to order from?
Net10, Straight Talk, or Tracfone?

[sebastianblack]

it's 08810

and tracfone

IF your current carrier/underlying-carrier is ATT and that's who you want to stick with, then the 290c is not the answer. ATT=GSM.....290c is CDMA

ok thanks, do you think this phone will become more widely available?

Not likely, as Tracfone much prefers to sell GSM phones.

If you were mistaken that your current coverage is ATT (you stated ATT in the original post) or you are ok with cdma coverage then use the info found in the link in post #7 and order your fone.
