Want to Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and switch carriers to sparrow?

Reusing is great for the environment and smart for your pocketbook. And, when you keep your current phone and upgrade your wireless service to sparrow, you get the nation’s top networks, friendly care, and make a difference with each month of service, even when you bring your own device (BYOD).

All you need is a sparrow-compatible phone and a sparrow SIM card. Most smartphones these days can be activated with sparrow, as long as they are paid for and unlocked. You can also purchase a brand new device with no SIM and bring it to sparrow.

STEP 1: Send us your smartphone’s IMEI (or MEID) along with your phone number and zip

Email your info or call (844.697.7277) and we’ll check to see if your phone is eligible. Why do we need this information? We use your device phone number and IMEI to check its compatibility. Your zip code helps us look up coverage in your area to make sure we can provide you with service that meets your needs.

Quick Tip: How to Easily Capture and Convey Your Device IMEI

• On your phone, go to Settings > General > About
• Locate the IMEI (you may need to scroll down)
• Take a screen shot
• Email sparrow the screen shot along with your phone number and zip code

STEP 2: Purchase and install a sparrow SIM

Buy a sparrow SIM online or place an order with a sparrow mobile concierge. Your SIM will ship along with a welcome kit and instructions on how to install.

That’s it!
