Bring Your Own Phone (BYOP)

Getting everything you want in wireless means not having to buy a new phone if you don’t want to. As long as your current phone is compatible with Ultra Mobile, you can keep using it. Keep your number, your contacts and all your apps, too. The best part? No commitments or carrier contracts.

How to unlock my phone

The easiest way to unlock your phone is to give your service provider a call and ask for a "network unlock." You can typically begin the process by visiting their website, or their retail stores.

Transfer your current phone number to Ultra Mobile or start fresh with a new one at activation.

Enter your current number and we’ll let you know if we can transfer it.

Time to BYOP
