A Note on Carrier Activation:
This is an unlocked device. For customers of AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile, you can simply insert your active SIM card to connect to the network.
For MVNO customers (such as Metro, Mint, Cricket, etc.), a manual IMEI activation is required. Please call your provider’s support and inform them you need to activate your device’s IMEI. If their system initially shows the device as incompatible, ask the representative to manually record the IMEI number. Once recorded, ensure you place your SIM card in the correct slot: IMEI 1 corresponds to SIM slot 1, and IMEI 2 to SIM slot 2. After a few minutes, your service should be active.
