    Eligibility:

    • Learn more about bringing your own device and compatibility here.
    • A credit check may be required

    If you are bringing an existing phone number from another provider:

    • To move your phone number over to our network, the phone's original account must still be active with the other provider
    • Some phone service providers require a phone to be paid in full before you can move its number to another network — check with your current provider for their policy
    • Have the following information about the phone number you want to transfer:
      • Account owner's full name
      • Provider name
      • Account number with that provider
      • Password or PIN for the account with that provider - Some providers require a porting PIN, check with your current provider for their requirements
      • The phone number

    If you need to transfer data from an existing device or are trading in a device:

    • Click here for instructions on transferring phone content (texts, pictures, contacts, apps, etc) from one device to another
    • Devices being returned or traded-in must be in good working condition

      Devices are considered to be in good working condition when: the device functions as expected and no physical, cosmetic and/or liquid damage exists.

      and unlocked by removing the passcode:
      • To disable passcode on Android devices, please refer to our Device Tutorials for your specific device
      • For Apple devices, you should also disable "Find my iPhone/Find my iPad". View Instructions
