How to Unlock Assurance Wireless Phone

This article shows you how to unlock your Assurance Wireless phone.

You can have your Assurance Wireless phone unlocked remotely for free if it becomes locked, and you’re an Assurance Wireless customer if: Assurance Wireless provided the phone; It hasn’t been reported as stolen, lost, or unsuitable for unlocking, and it has been in use within the last 12 months.

Your Assurance Wireless Phone will be automatically unlocked by Assurance Wireless within two business days if eligible. If remote unlocking is not possible, they will send instructions for you to do it manually.

I’ll go into more detail below. I’ve also outlined the manual unlocking process and mentioned what to do if the phone doesn’t unlock easily.

Locked Phones and Assurance Wireless

A locked mobile phone is connected to operate exclusively with one network provider.

You cannot switch to another network provider unless the phone is unlocked. Some network providers lock their client’s phones to lock you into their company. It’s a strategy to be more profitable in the competitive market.

However, mobile phone users might not see it as a reasonable thing to do. But, unlocking the phone becomes necessary if they want to select a different carrier for whatever reason.

In our case, I will show you how to unlock an Assurance Wireless mobile phone.

Unlocking an Assurance Wireless Phone

Assurance Wireless can unlock most mobile phone models remotely, with some exceptions.

Eligibility Requirements

Before trying to unlock your Assurance Wireless phone, ensure it is eligible. It is eligible if:

• The Phone is offered by Assurance Wireless.
• The phone you want to unlock hasn’t been reported as stolen, lost, or unsuitable.
• The cell phone must be in use for the last 12 months.

Remote Unlocking

If your Assurance Wireless phone meets the above eligibility requirements for being unlocked and it can be unlocked remotely, the company will unlock it automatically within two business days.

Manual Unlocking

Assurance Wireless cannot open some older phone models remotely if they don’t support remote unlocking.

In that case, Assurance Wireless sends a message with precise instructions and, in some cases, a code within two business days to unlock the phone manually, as long as the phone is eligible.

Follow the unlock process of Assurance Wireless, and your phone will be unlocked. It is typically as follows but may differ depending on your specific model:

1. Ensure you’re connected to a WiFi network with the T-Mobile or Sprint corporation network.
2. Select your mobile phone on the Devices page.
3. Click the Security drop-down to see the steps to open your cell phone.
4. Now, select to unlock the phone permanently.
5. Wait while the mobile phone completes the unlock process.
6. Restart your phone.

You may need to contact Assurance Wireless’ customer care if:

• You don’t see the app or setting listed for your particular mobile phone, as it may need an unlock code.
