USA Mobile is currently BYOD only (bring your own device). We recommend using the Device Compatibility tool to ensure compatibility with USA Mobile service if you are bringing your own device. If you need a device, we work with some trusted partners that provide devices. Please visit our Devices page here.

You can always verify your device compatibility with USA Mobile service by selecting Bring Your Own Device under the menu. Instructions and results are available after submitting your device IMEI.

As part of the order process, the Device Compatibility check is required.

• USA Mobile recommends using the Bring Your Own Device compatibility check tool before placing an order or attempting to activate a new device with your existing service. The tool is powerful, however can be limited as some information is proprietary to the carrier or phone manufacturer and is not made available to USA Mobile until you attempt to activate.Some reasons devices may not be compatible:
• Financial obligation to your previous carrier/manufacturer
• Device is locked to a different network and must be unlocked prior to use
• Software incompatibility or outdated software on the device
• Hardware incompatibility because some devices have multiple model variations
• Device has been reported to the Lost/Stolen list and blacklisted from service
• The phone is already active on the USA Mobile network

USA Mobile keeps it simple if you want to activate a different device! If you are using a physical sim simply remove your already active SIM card from your existing device and insert it into the new phone to begin the activation process. If you are using an eSIM, log into your account and click on Swim Swap and follow the on-screen instructions. USA Mobile recommends you restart the device and ensure you are in a strong signal area before proceeding.

If this occurs, USA Mobile will pause the number transfer request until you are able to complete the steps necessary from your previous carrier.

USA Mobile will keep you up to date with email notifications to advise you during your number transfer process. You can always login to your account online to view the status or re-submit a number transfer request after making corrections.
