If your state allows, you may also continue to qualify if your total household income is at or below the Federal Poverty Guidelines, based on family size.

Will my phone work on the new 4G LTE/ 5G network?
Of course! We’ve upgraded our network to 4G LTE/5G but that doesn’t mean 4G LTE is gone. Based on your current phone model, and physical location, your new SIM Card will connect to whichever network is most compatible. Your phone will do this automatically, so your connection will be seamless and uninterrupted.
For information on our nationwide coverage, visit our coverage map
Based on your current phone model, and physical location, your new SIM card will connect to whichever network is most compatible. Your phone will do this automatically, so your connection is seamless and uninterrupted.
However, 5G will not completely replace 4G. In fact, the two coexist. When you’re in a 5G supported area, your 5G capable phone will automatically connect to that network. If you happen to be in an area where our 5G network is still under construction, you’ll automatically have access to the 4G LTE high-speed network you’ve always used.
Why do I have a temporary number?
Every SIM card is assigned a temporary phone number before it leaves the building, this helps us know which SIM card belongs to who. This is only a temporary number, and you will never lose your active Q Link Wireless phone number.
When you receive your new SIM card, make sure to immediately insert it into your phone and place a test call to 1 (305) 260-6232. This will begin the transfer of your current Q Link Wireless number to the new SIM card and should only take about 15 – 20 minutes.
You’ll receive a text message as soon as it’s completed. If you run into any hiccups along the way or your transfer is taking too long, call our direct-to-agent line at 1(888) 505-7678, and a Customer Support representative will help you.
Can I keep my number on the upgraded network?
Yes, you can! We know how important it is to keep your number. To make sure you can continue to use your current Q Link Wireless number, you’ll have to insert your upgraded SIM card into your phone & place a test call to 1 (305) 260-6232. This will activate the new SIM card, and your current number will then be tied back to it.
If you have questions on how to activate, please give our direct-to-agent line a call at, 1 (888) 505-7678.
Why haven’t I received my new SIM card yet?
All SIM cards are typically shipped within 24 – 48 hours after address confirmation. If it’s been over seven days since you received your tracking details, and you still haven’t received your order, please give our Customer Support team a call at 1 (888) 505-7678. Our reps will confirm or update your shipping address and then place an order for a replacement SIM card. Make sure to keep an eye out for an email with tracking details.
I have my new SIM card now what?
Inserting your SIM card into your phone is the most important step of the activation process! It connects your phone to our new network. We also understand it can be a bit tricky to do, so we’ve broken this down for you step-by-step.
1. Locate your SIM card
Your SIM card may be found underneath your phone’s back cover or in a tray on the side or top panel. You can use the ejector tool included in your SIM card kit to open the SIM card tray.

2. Choose your SIM card
Please select the right SIM card size to fit into your phone’s tray. The back of your SIM card includes three different sizes for you to use as a guide.

3. Insert your SIM card

Carefully insert your new Q Link Wireless SIM card (gold-side down) into the phone’s SIM card slot and gently close the tray or back cover. You are all set!
The SIM card installation process is divided into four steps to connect you to the new network:
- Install your SIM card
- Perform a network reset
- Place a test call
- Download the My Mobile Account app
Here’s a quick video that walks you through the process.

Visit our guide here that will teach you how to update your software and get your phone up and running.

Pro-tip: Some Android back covers will have a small indentation on the lower corner. This is where you can lift the cover up to remove it.
Why is my iPhone experiencing failed calls after upgrading my SIM card?
This means your phone is having trouble connecting to our network, but it can easily be fixed! You’ll just have to update your carrier settings. This will improve your connection and performance.

10. Why am I getting a new SIM Card?
We’ve upgraded our network, so that means your SIM Card will need an upgrade, too! Since we’re now on one of America’s largest 4G LTE/5G networks, we’re sending you a SIM Card that is compatible with our new network to replace your current one. This will be a completely FREE upgrade for you.
You’ll first have to confirm your shipping address on our site before we can get your order ready to ship. Once you’ve done so, your SIM Card should be shipped within 24-48 hours. You’ll then be sent an email with tracking details as soon as your order has been shipped.
If you still need to verify your address, log into your account to do so.
11. Why do I have a temporary number?
Every SIM Card is assigned a phone number before it leaves the building, this helps us know which SIM Card belongs to who. This is only a temporary number, and you will never lose your active Q Link phone number.
When you receive your new SIM Card, make sure to immediately insert it into your phone and place a test call to 1 (305) 260-6232. This will begin the transfer of your current Q Link number to the new SIM Card and should only take about 15 – 20 minutes.
You’ll receive a text message as soon as it’s completed. If you run into any hiccups along the way or your transfer is taking too long, you can call our direct-to-agent line at 1(888) 505-7678, and a Customer Support rep will help you.
12. Tutorials – How to Get Started With Your Upgraded SIM Card
Having trouble with your upgraded SIM Card? We’ve broken this down for you with a few videos that should help you get started.
Why do I need to upgrade my SIM Card & where can I confirm my address?
We upgraded our network to one of America’s largest 4G LTE/5G providers . This means faster speeds, wider coverage, and a stronger connection but FREE to you every month. It also means your current SIM Card will no longer be compatible with our network, which is why we’re sending you a new one.
All you need to do is confirm your shipping address in your account so we can send you a new, compatible SIM Card that will connect you to this new network.
Getting Started – I have my SIM Card Kit, now what?
Open the package to locate your SIM Card and the tools you’ll need to complete your activation.
The SIM Card Kit is divided into four steps:

Here’s a quick video to walk you through each step! And if you need help locating your SIM Card, this will help you find it, too.

Carefully insert your new Q Link SIM Card (gold-side down) into the phone’s SIM slot and gently close the tray or back cover. You are all set! Follow the instructions on the screen to activate your phone. You may need to perform a Network Reset, and your phone will be ready to use.

Troubleshooting – My Upgraded SIM Card Isn’t Working With My ZTE

Yes, you can! We know how important it is to keep your number, so we’ve made sure that our customers won’t lose this in the process. To make sure you can continue to use your current Q Link number, you’ll have to insert your upgraded SIM Card into your phone & place a test call.

21. How do I cancel service?
We are sorry to see you go. Contact customer service at 1-855-754-6543 to de-enroll from your Q Link Wireless service.
22. Do you offer HotSpots?
Well, that depends!
Hotspots (Wi-Fi Auto-connect) vs Hotspot (On a device)
Hotspots are access points where you can connect to FREE internet within our nationwide network. This is referred to as “Wi-Fi Offloading” or “Wi-Fi Auto-connect”, and can be turned on with the My Mobile Account app.
We presently have 10-million locations with FREE Wi-Fi available to our customers. If you have the App permissions enabled for My Mobile Account App, we’ll auto-connect you to the nearest available Wi-Fi spot, saving you data & money. Check the My Mobile Account app to find FREE internet hotspots near you! (We also have a convenient list of participating locations here.)
A Hotspot on a phone, however, is the ability to tether your other devices (laptops, phones, and tablets) to your phone’s data connection, allowing those devices to access the Internet. Q Link Wireless currently does not offer ‘Hotspot for devices’ with our plans, but check back soon, as we are constantly improving our network and options!
Security Concerns Related to Hotspots
You should never use a public hotspot to share your personal information with websites (such as credit card or banking information). Criminals can intercept the data and use it for their own personal gain. If you need to share personal information over a public wi-fi network, it is advisable to use a VPN.
Q Link Wireless is not responsible for data breeches or irresponsible data use.
23. How do I transfer my number to Q Link?
Bringing your number to Q Link Wireless is very easy. Just follow the steps below.
1. Eligibility Guidelines To Bring Your Own Number
- Keep your number active on your current network. Do NOT contact your current provider to deactivate your account before or during the number transfer. This will make your number NOT eligible for transfer.
- Do NOT have a number transfer initiated with your current provider. If you do, you must call them to cancel it.
2. Information You’ll Need
You’ll need a few pieces of info from your current carrier before you can transfer your number:
- Your phone number to be transferred
- The Account Number from your current carrier
- The PIN Number from your current carrier
- The primary account’s Owner Full Name
- Your billing address information from your current carrier
Don’t know this information? Contact your current carrier, or read our guide on where to find your account details from your current carrier.
3. Check Your Number’s Eligibility
To check if your number is eligible to be transferred to Q Link, simply log in to “My Q Link Account” and select “Bring Your Own Number”. Then, enter the phone number you will like to transfer. You’ll get a response right away!
Tip: Checking your numbers eligibility has no impact on your current/existing phone service. So, you will be able to use your number until you authorize us to transfer your number to Q Link Wireless and the transfer is completed.
4. Start Your Number Transfer
Provide your account information to us, and Q Link Wireless will contact your current carrier to complete the transfer.
We recommend waiting until you receive your SIM card or phone before starting a number transfer.
Don’t cancel your current phone service until your new Q Link Wireless account has been activated.
5. What to do if there’s an error
If you encounter an error, it’s usually due to an incorrect PIN Number, incorrect account number, or a mismatch on the Account’s Owner Full Name. You will be notified via email, so you can update the information easily online.
If you ever need assistance, get in touch with our expert support team any time at 1-855-754-6543.
