Simple phones that work on Mercury Mobile
Mercury Mobile runs on Spark's network.
- 2G: Off. Spark never ran a 2G GSM network; its older CDMA network closed in July 2012.
- 4G calling for phones they didn't sell: Not confirmed. Spark lists phones bought from Spark or Skinny that work with 4G calling, and says phones from elsewhere may not be compatible.
We can't yet confirm any of the phones we list make calls on Mercury Mobile.
We've left out 5 phones we can't confirm work on Mercury Mobile.
