Moving your phone number from your current V1 SIM card to your new Ting SIM card has never been easier. Once you receive your replacement SIM card, you can head to your Ting dashboard to begin activating your phone number to your new SIM card for service.
If you're switching to Ting's new price plans, message us, and we'll swap your number for you. If you're already using a V1 or X3 SIM card and want to switch phones, you can move your existing SIM card to your new phone and be set to go!
Protect your data!
Before activating your SIM card, back up your voice messages outside of voicemail. Changing networks will clear any saved voicemail messages. We recommend regularly backing your phone up as a precaution or when activating a new device.

Note: If available, you can choose a device you purchased from Ting or devices you have used previously from a list of devices and click Next step.

Be sure your device is unlocked before activating your new SIM. If you're not sure if your device is locked, insert the new SIM before starting. A message will come up stating your device is locked. If your device is locked, please reach out to our support team for assistance.
