If your phone is compatible with Q Link Wireless, you are eligible to Bring Your Own Phone to our network! If you need a SIM card, we will be happy to send you one at no cost.

The SIM kit you receive should include your Q Link SIM card, 3 SIM card adapters, and a SIM card-eject tool.

First, you will need to turn off your phone and remove the SIM card currently in your phone.

You can do so by using the SIM card-eject tool in your Q Link kit, and pushing it into the small hole next to the tray. If you happen to misplace your eject tool, a paper clip will also work.

After removing your old SIM card, take out your Q Link SIM card.

If you look closely there are 3 cut-out sizes of the SIM card

Compare your old SIM card to the Q Link card to determine which of 3 cut-out SIM cards will be the correct size for your phone. Once determined, punch out the appropriate size.

If you do not have a SIM card at all, you can search online to see which size SIM will fit your phone.

When you have figured out the correct SIM card size, place it into your phone and turn it on.

Your SIM card is now installed!

Now that you have a Q Link SIM, you will need to perform a Network Reset to activate it.

30. What is a SIM Card?

The SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card is a small smart card identified by its integrated circuit card identifier (ICCID) that connects you to a network. The card is inserted into your smartphone and stores all your data.

If your smartphone uses a SIM card, you will need to enter that SIM card’s number so Q Link can verify it. To find that number, check out our guides on how to find your SIM card number on your iPhone or Android

If your smartphone needs a new SIM card, Q Link will send you a free Q Link card kit, ready to use. Just insert it into your smartphone.

If your smartphone does not use a SIM and the phone is compatible, just follow these steps to get your smartphone activated.
