Switching to a no-contract wireless plan has never been easier.
If you’ve already purchased phones for the whole family and you’re not ready to give them up, we’ve got some good news: you can still switch to Walmart’s best value in unlimited wireless. You’ll just need to ensure that your phone is compatible with Walmart Family Mobile’s Bring Your Own Phone (BYOP) program, and then you’re in the clear to keep it – and your old phone number. That means you can save both time and money for you and your family.
Quick answer: To bring your own phone to Walmart Family Mobile, first check to see if it’s compatible, then purchase an activation kit online or in-store. Once you’ve selected a plan, you can activate your device.
Check your device’s compatibility
You can definitely get an amazing new phone for a budget-friendly price at Walmart Family Mobile, but you can also keep the device you already know and love. First, check to see if your existing phone falls under one of the following BYOP-friendly categories:
- Unlocked GSM phones that operate on the 850 MHz or 1900 MHz band
- T-Mobile-compatible phones
Then, visit our BYOP Activation page and click “Get Started,” where you’ll be walked through the process step-by-step.
Activate your phone
Prepare to reap the benefits of a contract-free wireless experience.
After you’ve determined that your phone is Walmart Family Mobile-friendly, you’ll need to purchase an activation kit, which is unlikely to break the bank at $0.99. You can also purchase a BYOP package at your local Walmart store. Included in each kit is a SIM card specifically catered to the type of phone you’re using, which enables you to activate the device with Walmart Family Mobile, and thus leads you to the next step: service plan selection.
Choosing your service plan might initially be overwhelming due to the sheer affordability offered by our array of options, but once you’ve settled upon something that meets your family’s usage requirements, you’ll be ready to switch.
After your SIM card is installed and your service plan is purchased, all that’s left is activation, so follow the relevant instructions on our activation page, and prepare to reap the benefits of a contract-free wireless experience.
