Greetings @Pelfrey2908,


I understand how important it is to be able to use the phone you want on the network you prefer. It will be my pleasure to help in this regard.


 In most cases where you want to move a device to another carrier you would need to complete the unlock process. I recommend checking with the previous provider, to see if there are any steps required to make the phone usable on our network.


Here is a handy article which details how to Bring your own phone or tablet to AT&T. You would want to confirm device compatibility and ensure the device is in good standing with the previous carrier.


Let me know if you have any further questions. I hope you enjoy the new phone!

It has to be unlocked and it will have limited functionality on ATT.  No Wifi callin, no MMS, no hotspot and possible no LTE.
