How to Activate a US Mobile Starter Kit

Follow these step-by-step instructions to purchase a plan, pick the perfect network, and insert your SIM card for seamless connectivity.

Welcome to US Mobile! We’re thrilled to have you on board. This guide will walk you through activating a US Mobile Starter Kit, from confirming device compatibility to choosing a plan and network, right through to inserting your SIM card.

• US Mobile Starter Kit (including the SIM popper tool)

• A compatible device (with a physical SIM slot)

• A US Mobile account (or plan to create one)

• Stable internet connection (for the activation steps)

1. Check for a SIM Card Slot

   • Some newer phones (e.g., certain Apple devices) might only support eSIM.

   • If your phone has a physical SIM tray, you’re good to go!

2. Open the Starter Kit

   • Grab your SIM popper tool.

   • Gently insert it into the small pinhole on your phone’s SIM tray.

   • Press lightly until the tray pops out.

   • If your device tray fits a Nano, Micro, or Standard SIM, the Starter Kit has all sizes ready.

3. Dual SIM Devices

   • If your phone supports two SIM cards, you can use two lines simultaneously—handy if you want multiple numbers.

1. Visit usmobile.com

   • Log in to your US Mobile dashboard, or create an account if you’re new.

2. Add a New Line

   • On the menu, select “Add a New Line.”

3. Choose a Plan

   • US Mobile offers a variety of plans including Unlimited, By the Gig, and more.

   • For example, you might select a Monthly Unlimited Starter plan.

4. Annual or Monthly

   • Decide whether you want Monthly or Annual billing for extra savings.

5. Review Add-Ons

   • Add extras like international calling or data top-ups if needed.

6. Checkout

   • Confirm your selection and complete the purchase.

1. Order Confirmation

   • After checking out, you’ll see a prompt to pick from US Mobile’s three top-tier networks:

     • Warp

     • Light Speed

     • Dark Star

2. Which Network Is Best?

   • Check our Networks page to see coverage details.

   • Don’t worry—you can switch at any time from your Dashboard.

1. Start Activation

   • From the dashboard, click “Start Activation” and select your chosen network.

2. Select “Activate a Starter Kit”

   • If you don’t have a Starter Kit yet, you can order one directly from this page.

3. IMEI Check (if required by your network)

   • On Warp, you’ll need your phone’s IMEI number.

   • Dial *#06# on your phone to get the IMEI.

   • Enter the IMEI at usmobile.com to check compatibility.

4. SIM Card Number

   • Find the SIM number on the back of your Starter Kit.

   • Ensure it matches the network you’ve selected (Warp, Light Speed, or Dark Star).

   • Enter it when prompted.

1. New Number

   • If you want a brand-new phone number, choose that option and enter your ZIP code to match area codes.

2. Port In

   • Bring your existing number from another carrier by selecting “Port In.”

   • Follow the on-screen instructions to submit your previous carrier details.

3. Choose Your Number

   • If generating a new number, pick from a list of available options.

1. Review Your Details

   • Double-check the network, SIM card number, and phone number selection.

2. Confirm & Activate

   • Click “Activate”.

   • The system will process your request, typically within a few minutes.

3. Profile Setup

   • You can customize your line profile (picture, color, name) once activation is successful.

1. Punch Out the Correct SIM Size

   • Most modern smartphones use the Nano SIM (smallest cutout).

   • Gently push it out from the Starter Kit card.

2. Pop Open Your Phone’s SIM Tray

   • Use the SIM popper tool to eject the tray.

3. Align the SIM Card

   • Match the diagonal cut on the SIM card to the tray’s cutout.

   • The SIM should sit flush—no gaps or wiggle.

4. Reinsert the Tray

   • Push the tray back in until it clicks securely into place.

1. Name Your Line

   • Give your line a friendly name (e.g., “Work,” “Family,” or “Main”).

2. Add a Profile Picture

   • Pick a photo or use a default avatar for quick identification.

3. Choose a Color

   • Make it easy to differentiate multiple lines at a glance.
