No questions asked! The 7-Day Money Back Guarantee only applies to customers who purchased their services or service plans online. Services or service plans purchased from authorized retailers or distributors do not qualify for the 7-Day Money-Back Guarantee. Check with the authorized retailers or distributors to see their refund policies.

Getting your money back is hassle-free. To request your 7-Day Money Back Guarantee refund, just call Customer Care at 833-528-1380 within seven (7) days from the date your service or service plan is activated to open a Return Merchandise Authorization ("RMA") ticket. Please make sure to have your order number, ESN/IMEI number (if applicable) and phone number handy when calling. Your refund will be processed after you return any SIM card and/or phone that you purchased from Gen Mobile with your service.

You will need to unlock your phone or data device before activating your Gen Mobile service.

If you’ve signed a 2-year contract or some type of annual contract, your phone is probably carrier-locked until you finish paying it off. Once you pay the remaining balance, your carrier is legally obligated to unlock your device for free.

The best way to determine whether your device is unlocked is by calling your current carrier. You will most likely need to provide your account password and your device’s IMEI number. You can get the IMEI on most phones by dialing *#06# on your keypad. Please note: Once you have requested for the carrier to unlock your device, it may take up to 24 hours for the carrier to release the lock.

To bring your phone number to Gen Mobile, you will need the following account information:

• First and last name

• 10-digit phone number

• Account number

• Account porting PIN. Ask your carrier for the PIN that is needed to port your number and request the removal of any port protection

• Complete address

• ZIP code. When submitting the ZIP code, utilize the ZIP code associated with your area code and prefix (i.e. the first 6 numbers of your phone number) as provided here. If you use a different ZIP code, the port may be delayed up to 48 hours. Once you submit your number transfer request, it may take up to 48 hours for your current carrier to release your phone number.

To expedite your number transfer, we recommend the following:

• Call your carrier and verify your account information before starting the port-in process, pay off any balance due and remove any port protection feature

• Do not cancel your account with your original carrier until your number is transferred to Gen Mobile. Your number must be ACTIVE on your original carrier throughout the port-in process

• The device you are porting into must be network unlocked, paid off, 4G VOLTE compatible and not barred for any reason (e.g. reported lost or stolen)

• For the Blue Network, you must use an AT&T compatible device — international devices will not work

• Do not submit a port-in for a number that was already ported within the last 48 hours

For help with porting your number, call 1-833-528-1380 or dial 611 from your Gen Mobile phone. To chat with us click here.

Do not cancel your existing account/service before you transfer your phone number. Your account/service needs to be active for the transfer to go through.

Yes, you can request a new number when you call or chat to activate your phone. A new number will auto generate based on your requested ZIP code and area code availability in that ZIP code. You can also call Customer Care at 833-528-1380 to request a new number at any time.

There's no catch with Gen Mobile. We believe saving money should be easy and hassle-free. Other carriers require you to use Voice Over IP (VOIP) calling, download a special calling app, earn rewards by watching ads or filling out surveys, or prepay 6-12 months to receive a lower promo price. Gen Mobile leverages advances in telecom technology to bring you the absolute lowest prices on wireless service without all the gimmicks.
