When you sign up for an EarthLink Mobile plan, we’ll send you a SIM card. Once you get it, just go to My Account to activate your service. Here, you can decide if you want to transfer your existing number. Be sure to have your current mobile provider’s account number and passcode. Considering a new phone?

Once you’ve chosen your adventure, you can’t change your mind. Is there an activation charge? No, EarthLink Mobile does not charge an activation fee. We’re just happy to have you. Can I get 5G service with EarthLink Mobile? Yes, in many areas. Check if we’re in your neighborhood yet. Of course, you’ll need a 5G-compatible phone for it to work. All set with both? We’ll automatically switch between 5G and 4G LTE — whichever is stronger at your location. Do I have to pay more for 5G? Not with EarthLink Mobile. How easy is it to change plans? We want you to be on the right plan for your needs. You can easily change plans by logging into My Account and selecting a different plan. Upgrades can take effect immediately or with your next billing cycle. Downgrades can be requested any time, but they do only take effect when your current billing cycle is over. Can I add extra data to my plan? Of course! Just log into My Account. One-time data add-ons are applied immediately, do not roll over, and expire at the end of your billing cycle.

How do I determine the operating system on my phone? iPhone: Go to Settings > General > About and check under Version. Android: Go to System Settings > About Phone > Software Info and check under Android Version. What is an IMEI number and how do I find mine? Your IMEI is a serial number that identifies your unique phone. It’s generally also stored in your phone’s settings. For many phones, you can find it by dialing *#06# on the keypad. The number will be displayed on your screen. If this doesn’t work for your phone, visit your settings menu to find your IMEI number. Is my existing phone compatible with EarthLink Mobile? Unlocked, GSM-compatible phones should work great on the EarthLink Mobile network. We have a tool to easily check if your phone is compatible. Just head over to the Switching Phone Carriers page and enter your IMEI number. Don’t worry — we have instructions on how to find it. How do I determine if I have an unlocked phone? If you’re on a prepaid or pay-as-you-go plan, your phone is probably unlocked. On a two-year contract? Your phone is probably locked until you pay it off. The most reliable way to determine if you currently have an unlocked phone that would work on the EarthLink Mobile network is by checking your IMEI number and verifying your phone’s status on our Switch page. You will most likely need to provide your account password (if applicable) and your phone’s IMEI number. You can find your unique IMEI by dialing *#06# on your keypad or looking in your settings. What might make my phone incompatible with EarthLink Mobile? Most newer, unlocked phones will work on our network. But, if your phone is locked by your carrier (for example: you’re still under a contract or are paying off your phone in monthly installments), it might not be compatible. And not all phones will work on all networks — your phone might just use a different type of cellular technology. Your phone could even be programmed to run on frequency bands not compatible with our network. This is more likely if it’s from Europe. I need a new phone for my EarthLink Mobile service. Where can I buy one? We can help with that! Check out our options to buy a phone. We have a huge assortment of phones to fit your lifestyle and finances. You can pay for your phone upfront when you start your service or choose to finance your phone. How long will it take my new SIM card and/or mobile device to arrive?

If I sign up for EarthLink Mobile, will I get a separate bill? No — that would be annoying. How do I set up VoLTE (Voice over LTE)? Set up will vary depending on your device. For iPhones: You can enable VoLTE by updating your phone settings. Just to go to Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data Options > Enable LTE and select Voice & Data. Note for iPhone 5S users: unfortunately, VoLTE is not available on this model iPhone. For Androids: VoLTE support and setup instructions will vary depending on device and OS version, but typically, if the device supports it, VoLTE can be enabled via the following menu: Settings > Wireless & Networks > Cellular Networks > Enhanced 4G LTE Mode Do you have physical stores I can go to?
