I upgraded or replaced a device

    • If your device didn’t come with a SIM card, just move the SIM from your old device to your new one and you’re good to go, no additional steps required.
    • Activate the SIM card. For the best 5G experience, we don’t recommend using your previous SIM card.

Turn the device on. Your service should be working.
