Bring Your Own Device. Keep What You Love.
Sage Wireless is BYOD for now—so you can switch in minutes using the phone you already have. Check compatibility, choose a plan, and keep your number if you want.
Switching Doesn't Require a New Phone
Most unlocked phones work great with Sage Wireless. If your current phone is in good shape, there's no reason to start over—just bring it with you and start saving.
What you'll need:
Your phone
Unlocked + compatible

Will Your Phone Work?
Enter your device's IMEI to check if it's compatible with Sage Wireless.
eSIM or Physical SIM—What's the Difference?
Both get you the same Sage Wireless service. The right option depends on your phone.
eSIM (digital SIM)
Best if you want speed
- No shipping required (activate faster)
- Great for newer phones and adding a second line
Physical SIM
Best if you prefer a card
- Works with many unlocked phones
- Simple swap-and-go setup

Is Your Phone Unlocked? Here's How to Check.
An unlocked phone can be used on different carriers. If your phone is still locked to your current carrier, you may need to request an unlock before switching.
Quick ways to check:
iPhone
Settings → General → About → look for Carrier Lock
If it says "No SIM restrictions," you're unlocked.
Android
Settings → Connections/Network → SIM manager (varies by brand)
Or try inserting a SIM from another carrier to see if it works.
Still unsure? Run the compatibility checker or contact support.
Check CompatibilityAdding a Second Line is Easy
Want a second line for work, family, or a dedicated number? You can add a new line during checkout or start a second order anytime.
Good reasons to add a second line:
- Work number separate from personal
- Kids/teens line on a separate plan
- Backup line for travel or business
Many newer phones support dual SIM (eSIM + physical SIM), so you can carry two numbers on one device.
Dual SIM Support
Two numbers, one phone
Keep Your Number When You Switch
Most number transfers take minutes. Some can take longer depending on your current carrier.
If you want to keep your existing phone number, choose "Keep my number" during checkout and enter the info from your current carrier. We'll handle the transfer.
What you'll need to port your number:
- Account number from your current carrier
- Transfer PIN (or "Port-out PIN")
- Billing ZIP code (or address, depending on carrier)
- The phone number you're transferring
Important tip: Don't cancel your current service until your transfer is complete—your number needs to remain active to port.
