Tips for trying to make the transition between carriers a little smoother:
- Check to see if your iPhone is unlocked before beginning the process. Open Settings > General > About > scroll to the section that begins with “Wi-Fi Address” then look for Carrier Lock. If it says “No SIM restrictions” then your device is not locked to the carrier.
- In this section you will also find your IMEI number. Long-press onto the number, release your finger, then tap “copy” and now you can paste this long number into a note or form field when requested.
- Here is the link to AT&T for unlocking your device: https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/
- Don’t forget to use Rakuten when switching to a new plan. Use Melissa’s referral link here: https://www.rakuten.com/r/MELISS95892?eeid=28187
