Bring your favorite phone

To join our network, your phone has to be unlocked from your current carrier. This usually takes a few hours, but sometimes a few days—so plan ahead. Follow these steps to get your phone unlocked. Once that's done, we'll handle the rest.

  1. Pay off your phone in your current carrier's app or website.
  2. Confirm your phone is unlocked. Check your carrier's policies online. Some carriers, like Verizon, lock phones for 60 days after purchase.
  3. If your phone is paid off but not locked, submit an unlock request.
