Once you've purchased the device, you can go to their websites and enter the IMEI number to confirm its compatibility.

I put my old StraightTalk sim from my X to my 12 and had service.

Hello Mike,
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. We understand that you're looking to confirm if you an use an iPhone 12 with Tracfone cellular service. We would recommend reaching out to Tracfone support to verify what devices are supported by them. You can reach out to them at, Tracfone Support.
Best regards.
Yeah but I have such a low usage that it only makes sense to use Tracfone or some other MVNO. Maybe someone knows of another MVNO that’s compatible with an iPhone 12.
Cricket Wireless, H2O, Consumer Cellular... amongst a few. And yes, iPhone 12 (all variants) will function on their network, as long as the device is bought directly from them or from Apple, unlocked.
Yeah I’m buying directly from Apple unlocked. I checked those three out but too expensive I either need to buy so much service a year like Tracfone offers or a monthly plan for like $10 a month. I’ve found one that might possibly work Red Pocket but won’t know until I buy the phone and try it on their website
I would like to find some others in case Red Pocket doesn’t pan out.
Yeah thanks but I know... it's just that the iPhone 12 is supposed to be compatible with Tracfone too but it's been hit and miss whether you can successfully activate it. That's why I was asking if anyone has had any success with other MVNO's being able to activate it.
I did. StraightTalk.
