According to the Assurance Wireless help centre, to transfer the service from one phone to another one:
  • open assurancewireless.com on your computer;
  • select Account Login;
  • enter your Assurance Wireless phone number and Account PIN;
  • go to Account Overview on the My Account page;
  • select Swap Phones from the choices listed under I Want To;
  • follow the on-screen instructions to enter and verify your ESN/MEID number (you can find the ESN/MEID number under the battery after removing the cover).

Please note that if switching to a new plan at the same time when transferring to a new phone, you should be prompted on how to switch plans. Assurance Wireless should transfer your phone number and account balance to a new phone. Your phone should work after you’ve activated the device and it completes all updates.

I have a faulty ANS phone which was issued to me by Assurance Wireless and I would like to transfer my services to a more workable ZTE phone or an older model Freedom Phone; both of which are workable and more suitable to my needs in a cellphone.Type your message here

Go to settings>tap system>tap about phone>tap status>scroll to service state see if it says Voice In Service/Data in Service Mobile network state Connected. On My phone number you see your number. If you don't see that go back to about phone and tap on system update and tap Update Profile. Wait until you get The device has been activated and tap okay until it turns yellow. That should reset your phone for regular use. If that does not work call costumer service at 1-88*-***-****.

According to the Assurance Wireless faq section, new customers who sign up with a representative in their neighbourhood should receive Android smartphone from the representative who should help them activate it. Otherwise, the Assurance Wireless service should be activated by the customer:
  • Press and hold the Power Button to turn on your phone;
  • Allow hands-free activation to connect the phone to the Assurance Wireless network and then allow the phone to check for any updates. The phone should power off;
  • After the phone turns back on, it may ask you to customize your phone. You may need to skip the setup screens and complete Step 3 first;
  • Dial 611 and follow the recorded directions;
  • When prompted, enter your Assurance Wireless Account PIN – it can be found at the top of your Assurance Wireless approval letter.

Unfortunately, Assurance Wireless does not provide any information about the cases when customers receive the phones with already activated service on the company website. Please contact the Assurance Wireless customer care team for assistance. You may reach out to them by phone at (888) 898-4888 or via the support form on the PissedConsumer website.

Online application

Hi, I am trying to enroll our client for cellphone and internet but when I submitted the online application, a note said it cant process since SSN number and name cant be verified (SSN4). What does this mean?

I checked the name and the SSN they are correct. But tried several times and I got the same thing. How can I help our client submit an application.

By the way, she only has medicare and SSDI. can she qualify?

How can I get a new phone?

I need a new phone. I have had it for a long time.

Only way I use it is to keep it plugged in and put it on speaker. I have emailed three times and don't know how to contact someone by phone.
