Q3: What phones are compatible with Gen Mobile?

GSM NETWORK COMPATIBLE PHONES AND DATA DEVICES ¹

Most unlocked 4G LTE GSM-network phones or data devices ¹
Unlocked AT&T, T-Mobile, Metro, Cricket Wireless, Simple Mobile, and Straight Talk phones and data devices
Most phones with SIM cards

SPRINT NETWORK COMPATIBLE PHONES

Sprint/Virgin/Boost Phones: All are compatible if they are not lost/stolen and provided that they have been paid off. In addition, they must have been on their original service for 12 months or must have been first activated more than 15 months ago. The existing SIM for these phones can be used, or you can check for a replacement SIM Kit (A, B, or C) on Gen Mobile’s Bring Your Own Phone list. See Q4 to find the SIM Card part number specific for your phone, if it is not listed on Gen Mobile’s Bring Your Own Phone list. Keep in mind that 3G phones do not require a SIM.

Other Carrier Phones (U.S. Carriers): Many Verizon and universal phones, including from brands such as Apple, Samsung, Motorola, LG, and Google, are compatible with Gen Mobile. See the Gen Mobile’s Bring Your Own Phone list for compatible phones and the applicable SIM Kit (A, B, or C). See Q4 to find the SIM Card part number specific for your phone, if it is not listed on Gen Mobile’s Bring Your Own Phone list. Keep in mind that only phones manufactured for the USA or designed to be sold within the USA will work on the Gen Mobile network.

Note: Many 3G Sprint/Virgin/Boost phones require manual MSL/MDN/MSID programming as described in Q10. For these phones, talk and text will work but data (including multimedia/group messaging) will not function.

Q4: How can I check if a phone is compatible with Gen Mobile?

GSM NETWORK

Your GSM phone is compatible if it is listed below. However, you must check with your current carrier to make sure your phone is unlocked, free from contract, and paid off before bringing it to Gen Mobile.

Most unlocked 4G LTE GSM-network phones or data devices ¹
Unlocked AT&T, T-Mobile, Metro, Cricket Wireless, Simple Mobile, and Straight Talk phones and data devices
Most phones with SIM cards

¹ Data plans (for data devices such as hotspots and tablets) are only available for activation on the SoftPayPlus portal at this time.

SPRINT NETWORK

You can also call Gen Mobile’s dealer support line at 1 (833) 436-6624, click here to chat with us, or email dealer@genmobile.com and provide us the 15-digit IMEI of your phone.

Q5: Does the phone need to be unlocked?

Yes. Even if a phone is paid off, it may not have been automatically unlocked by the original carrier. To unlock a phone, the customer can call their original carrier to request that the phone be unlocked. It may take up to 48 hours before the phone is unlocked and ready to be activated on Gen Mobile.

Q6: How do I know which SIM Kit or SIM Card Part Number to use?

GSM NETWORK

You must have a Gen Mobile GSM SIM card to activate on our GSM network. This SIM card bears the Gen Mobile logo on it and works in all 4G LTE compatible phones. To purchase Gen Mobile's GSM SIM cards, click here.

SPRINT NETWORK

To find the SIM card part number specific for your phone, select your Make, Model, and Carrier and hit the “search” button. The site will display the Gen Mobile SIM kit or SIM part number that is compatible with your phone.

Q7: What if I have loose Sprint SIMs cards and need to know which SIM works with my phone?

GSM NETWORK

SPRINT NETWORK

To find the correct loose SIM card for your phone, go to Sprint’s Bring Your Own Phone site https://www.sprint.com/en/shop/bring-your-phone-to-sprint.html?INTCID=LP:BYOD:Shop, enter your phone’s IMEI, and:

If the first page displays the message “The Sprint network will work for you”, click on “I have a Sprint SIM card” and enter the ICCID number under “Validate Your SIM”.

- If it is the incorrect SIM, the site will display “IMEI/MEID and SIM incompatible”.
- If it is the correct SIM, the site will display, “Choose Your Plan”.
- If the SIM is already being used in another phone, the site will display “SIM card already activated”. You cannot use a SIM that is already activated unless you call the current carrier to cancel the account associated with this SIM.

If the first page displays the message “Choose Your Plan”, the site will display the most recent ICCID that was used in this phone. You can reuse this ICCID. If you do not have this SIM, click the “Edit” link and enter the ICCID number under “Validate Your SIM”.

- If it is the incorrect SIM, the site will display “IMEI/MEID and SIM incompatible”.
- If it is the correct SIM, the site will display, “Choose Your Plan”.
- If the SIM is already being used in another phone, the site will display “SIM card already activated”. You cannot use a SIM that is already activated unless you call the current carrier to cancel the account associated with this SIM.

Customers should NOT cancel existing service until after the port is complete or they will lose their existing phone number.

Q11: How do I buy SIMs, preactivated phones, or bulk activations from Gen Mobile?

If your master agent does not carry Gen Mobile SIMs, preactivated phones, or if you need to perform bulk activations, you may purchase these products directly from Gen Mobile at the following minimum quantities.

SIM cards: 100 SIMs or more

Preactivated phone orders: 25 phones or more

Bulk activations: 25 activations or more

Please complete the Gen Mobile Account Setup Form, scan or take a photo of it, and email it to dealer@genmobile.com and include the items you would like to order in your email.

ACTIVATION QUESTIONS

Q12: How do I activate a phone if the customer is porting in a phone number?

GSM NETWORK

After service stops working on the original carrier, insert the SIM into the phone or data device being activated. You must reset your phone/data device network settings and activate your new Gen Mobile service. To reset your phone network settings go to your settings app > scroll to System or General Management > tap either reset or reset options > tap reset network settings > your device will restart. Once it does, your network settings will have been cleared and reset.

SPRINT NETWORK

After service stops working on the original carrier, insert the recommended SIM (A, B, or C) into the phone being activated. Next, turn on the phone and complete the activation process by dialing ##25327# for iPhones or ##72786# for other phones. These codes are written in the instructions enclosed in each SIM Kit. You should remind the customer to complete this step when their original service stops working. If the phone does not activate, try turning the phone off and on, and re-enter the activation codes. If your phone is still not activated, call 1 (833) 436-6624 or click here to chat with a Gen Mobile Customer Care representative for troubleshooting help.

Q13: How do I activate a phone if the customer is getting a new number?

GSM NETWORK

After completing a customer’s sign up for Gen Mobile on the Activation Portal, insert the Gen Mobile GSM SIM into the phone/data device that you are activating. You must reset your phone/data device network settings and activate your new Gen Mobile service. To reset your phone network settings go to your settings app > scroll to System or General Management > tap either reset or reset options > tap reset network settings > your device will restart. Once it does, your network settings will have been cleared and reset.

Q14: I need the MSL/MDN/MSID codes to program my 3G Sprint network CDMA phone. Where do I find this?

If your phone was activated through the VidaPay portal, call our dealer support line at (833) 436-6624 or chat via genmobile.com for the MSL/MDN/MSID codes.

If your phone was activated through the SoftPayPlus portal, you will be provided the MSL/MDN/MSID codes on your receipt.

To program the phone, dial ##MSL# and then “Edit” the MDN to your Gen Mobile phone number and “Edit” the MSID to the number provided. For Virgin phones, if the MSL code provided does not work, try using ##847446# or ##000000# as the MSL. Some phones have different programming instructions which can be found online by searching “Manually Program Sprint” and the phone name. You should use the related instructions at support.sprint.com. After you “Save” these edits, the phone should reboot and activate. For further assistance or troubleshooting, call 1 (833) 436-6624 or click here to chat with a Customer Care representative.
