  • If your phone is Unlocked and it is Compatible, then you are ready to switch to Stack Mobile.

  • Stack Mobile is compatible with most newer phones, including those supporting Apple iOS and Android.

  • Yes, you will need to have an unlocked phone or unlock your current phone to switch over to Stack Mobile.

  • Locked phones are locked into a specific network and are prevented from being used by different mobile networks for a certain period of time. They are usually locked because the phone was purchased through that carrier at a reduced price and with a customer lock-in to the network for 12 to 36 months of services. However, there are ways to unlock the phone - check other FAQs for those answers.

  • Unlocked phones can work with more than one service provider, as they are not tied to any specific carrier network. It's also likely paid off. You'll need a compatible, unlocked phone to BYOP to Stack Mobile.

On newer Android phones, you can also go to Settings > Connections > More Connection Settings > Network Unlock and you can then see the Network Lock Status, whether locked or unlocked.

    For other phones, similar steps within the Settings section can typically locate this information.

  • If a phone is locked, the steps to unlocking depends on your current carrier. In general, you can call your current carrier and ask for a “network unlock” to have your phone unlocked. Most often a phone call, a visit to their webpage or one of their retail stores is required to unlock your phone.

Device Compatibility

  • After you purchase your plan, you will go through the activation process, at which time you will be given the option to transfer (port) your current number over to this incredibly-rewarding mobile service.

  • It only takes a few simple steps to change-out or install your new SIM.

    1. Power off your smartphone.

    2. Holding the front of the phone facing you, locate the SIM card tray on your smartphone – it will have a small hole in it which is used to pop the tray out for access.

    3. Pop out the tray out by inserting a SIM removal tool, paperclip, or pushpin (be careful, SIM card trays are delicate and can be easily broken!).

    4. Pull the SIM card tray out of the phone, taking note of how the SIM card tray fits into the phone slot by checking the direction of the hole.

    5. (Re)Place your SIM card into the tray with either the logo or the gold chip facing up – note that the SIM card tray has a notch on one of the corners and the card will only fit one way.

    6. Push the SIM card into the tray, making sure the tray is in the same position as when you removed it.

    7. Power phone back on and check that it is working properly.

  • For a new number, the service with Stack Mobile will start within minutes of activation. However, if you are moving a current number from another service provider, the service with Stack Mobile typically will start within 24 hours after activation. You will receive an update at time of activation and another when the migration to Stack Mobile is completed.

  • Activation usually takes less than an hour to finish after transferring an eSIM or physical SIM. However, it can sometimes extend for up to 24 hours due to porting processes from your old service provider.

  • You should not cancel your old service until you have successfully transferred your old number over to Stack Mobile. This is automatically performed as part of the transfer (port) process when activating with Stack Mobile. This assures a smooth transition and helps avoid any interruptions in your service.

    Remember, the activation process usually takes just a few minutes, but can sometimes extend up to 48 hours due to porting processes from your old provider.
