BYOP FAQ
Common Questions
Q: What is an IMEI number?
IMEI stands for International Mobile Equipment Identity. It is a unique 15-digit number that identifies your physical phone. It is not connected to any personal information, contacts, or data on your device. Carriers use it to check whether a device is compatible with their network.
Q: How do I know if my phone is unlocked?
On iPhone, go to Settings, then General, then About. Look for “No SIM restrictions” under Carrier Lock. On Android, go to Settings, then Connections or Network, and look for a Network Unlock or SIM Lock option. If it says unlocked, your phone is ready. If it’s still locked, contact your current carrier and ask them to unlock it.
Q: My phone is locked. What do I do?
Call your current carrier and request a device unlock. They are required by law to unlock your phone once you’ve met their requirements (usually paid off the device and account is in good standing). Once unlocked, come back and run the IMEI check again.
Q: Can I keep my current phone number?
Yes. During activation, you can port your existing number to StandUp Prepaid. The transfer typically completes within minutes. You’ll need your current carrier’s account number and PIN.
Q: What if my phone isn’t compatible?
If your phone doesn’t pass the compatibility check, it may be locked, missing required network bands, or reported lost or stolen. You can either unlock it and try again, or browse our selection of affordable phones at /phones that come ready to use with StandUp Prepaid.
Q: Does BYOP support eSIM?
Yes. If your phone supports eSIM (most phones from 2019 and newer do), you can activate instantly by scanning a QR code. No physical SIM card needed, no shipping wait. Your IMEI check results will show whether your phone supports eSIM.
Q: Is my IMEI stored or shared?
No. Your IMEI is used solely for the compatibility check and is not stored, shared, or linked to any personal information. It only tells us what type of device you have.
