#ASSURANCE WIRELESS FIND MY PHONE FREE#

Borrow a T-Mobile phone, put in your SIM and see if it works. Unfortunately, to be certain, I see two approaches:ġ. In theory any T-Mobile phone (and most modern Sprint phones) would be technically compatible from a network perspective, however, they can easily block all phones, allowing only certain phones to be activated on Assurance. Thank you for sharing your experience! It definitely sounds super frustrating that you can't get thru to Assurance.Īssurance used to allow activations of most Sprint phones, however, now under T-Mobile there's no reference to BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) on their website. I hope this helps some people save some time! I used to switch people over all the time about a year ago to different phones for their Assurance services, but something changed when T-Mobile bought Sprint and Assurance just will not accept any other phones except their own. Check back in the future, or go get an Access Wireless gov't phone- they allow you to switch to unlocked devices. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME trying to get this done right now. Despite what a rep giving out the phones may have told you, and despite what it says on their website. But as of right now, 10/20/21) you can only use an Assurance Wireless branded phone with their service. They are either not yet ramped up to accept other devices, or they have just decided to set a policy of allowing nothing but their own branded phones (spyware and all) on their network. T-Mobile does not require this (I can tell their current Assurance SIM runs on TMobile's towers by the SIM card #) Evidently at this time, it is more of a policy issue with Assurance than a compatibility issue.

That's because with Assurance (which previously used Virgin Mobile's service, which ran off of Sprint's towers -i know it gets complicated here-), the SIM always needed to be paired up to the phone/IMEI. When you put in the Assurance SIM it says 'No Service'. The 6S was tested with a T-Mobile SIM and worked great. We tried everything to switch the Assurance service over to an unlocked iPhone 6s.

Evidently, since the T-Mobile takeover of Sprint, Assurance will only accept their own handsets. Does an orange jump suit make your ass look fat? No, it’s your big fat ugly black ASS that makes your ass look fat.I just went through this same thing trying to help a customer switch devices.

Why do you THINK the government is so anxious to GIVE you a free phone and free service, huh? Yep, you’re right-–they are spying on your black ass day and night. For all you thugs who are using this cheap gubbamijnt phone to sell dope, know this: You ARE being tracked, and the government KNOWS where you are, and has a record of each and every phone call and text message.

I would suggest that you go to WalMart, select one of their cheaper brand-name phones, and select a pre-paid option, which should not cost more than $30 a month. But the reality of the situation is this : When you qualify, they will send you either a very old fashioned flip phone, or if you’re really lucky, a small Smart phone, but again….they are cheap-ass phones and will break, malfunction, or simply not do the job. I realize this program was designed for the poor who cannot sign up for a lengthy and expensive wireless network, or afford a new iPhone for a little over $1,000. They will allow you to bring some phones, other than the other crap they sell on their website, but the list is very limited, and for the most part, the phones are every bit as shitty as the ones on the Assurance Wireless website’s list. Even if you were allowed to bring your own phone to the Virgin Mobile website, it will NOT permit you to have a really nice phone, like one of the cheaper models of the Samsung line. Also, your cell phone will have an ENDLESS number of junk coming in constantly, and there is no way to prevent it. Even by the sloppy Chinese standards, they are crap. Each and every cell phone you will get from Assurance Wireless will be the very sorriest quality piece of shit cell phone ever made.
