Who services tracfone?

Okay my phones internet keeps giving me a code 130 every time I turn on my 3g data. I can get connected for about 2 minutes then it fails again. My wife's phone is also doing the same thing we both have the huawei ascend y. I know its a crap phone to begin with but it has been reliable in the past but now its just crap. I'm posting this question with it but I doubt it will work if it does then please answer if you know this answer. Who services these phones and how can I find out if its a tower issue or an update issue? Its the straight talk service with a tracfone. Do I talk to a Walmart employee or is there a number I can call. I can send texts and receive phone calls but my internet is shot. And I just reloaded another $45 for the unlimited everything service. Thank you ahead of time if you answer and please like usual if you can't answer then don't post anything rude.

Update:

Okay I investigated this and found my answer. Since straight talk uses Verizon towers and our phones are 3g and Verizon has officially went totally 4g and only limited support for 3g all 3g devices using Verizon towers will not have reliable service anymore unless they upgrade to a 4g capable phone. Its BS but nothing we can do about it except for upgrade.

    I have been having the exact same problem the last couple of days. I have the same service and same phone. I was actually looking for a solution as well. You are not alone.
