Check Compatibility Anchor

Bringing your phone to Boost Mobile?

4 easy steps to begin

1. Ensure Your Phone Works on Our Network

Let’s Check Your Phone Compatibility

Your phone has a unique 15-digit ID (IMEI) that will verify if it’s compatible with Boost Mobile’s 5G Network. 

Two ways to find your IMEI:
  1. Check by dialing on your keypad
    Dial *#06# to get your phone’s IMEI.

  2. Check in your phone’s settings
    Android: Go to Settings > About Phone > Status
    iPhone: Go to Settings > General > About
What is an IMEI number?
Check Phone

Great News!

Your phone is a perfect match for Boost Mobile.

We’re sorry! Your phone is not compatible with our network.

You can shop compatible phones here.

Communication error!

Sorry, but we can’t validate this IMEI right now. Please try again in a few minutes.

Not Found!

2. Check Your Phone Is Unlocked

To join our network, your phone must be unlocked. Phones are usually locked to the carrier you purchased from.

Two ways to check:

  iPhone: Go to Settings > General > About. If it says "No SIM restrictions," your phone is unlocked and ready to go.

  Android: Go to Settings > Network > Mobile Network > Network Operators. If multiple networks appear, your phone is likely unlocked.

        If your phone is locked check out How to Unlock Your Phone.
