Common questions about our devices
You can bring any unlocked GSM device to PureTalk. To check if your phone is compatible, please click here and use the compatibilty checker. If you purchased your phone from another carrier, you must contact that carrier to determine if the phone is unlocked.
GSM and CDMA networks are two types of cellular phone networks, each using a different core technology. AT&T and T-Mobile both run on GSM technology. If your phone is set up to run on one of these networks then it will be compatible with PureTalk. Verizon and Sprint run on CDMA technology and phones from their networks are not compatible.
CDMA and GSM networks are two types of cellular phone networks, and generally, if you have a phone made for one, it can’t be used on the other. In the US, Sprint and Verizon run on the CDMA networks while AT&T and T-Mobile run on the GSM networks.
You can dial *#06# from your PureTalk phone and it will appear on your screen or you can look in your phone Settings under General.
That should be no problem. Just make sure the new model is a GSM unlocked device. All phones sold by PureTalk are GSM unlocked.
Devices purchased from PureTalk are all GSM unlocked devices. We cannot guarantee compatibility with other service providers. You would need to speak with that provider for verification.
No, it doesn’t. Unlike many other wireless carriers, PureTalk does not lock devices to our network.
There are a couple of ways to find out. You can contact the original carrier of the device to make sure it is no longer associated with a contract or billing plan, or check the device before you purchase it to ensure it is already unlocked. Alternatively, you can try replacing the SIM card to see if you get coverage.
It sure can! But for a device to work on the PureTalk service, it must be both unlocked and GSM SIM compatible.
If you find you are suddenly experiencing signal issues on your device, there could be a number of influencing factors. The first step would be to check our coverage map. If there is coverage in the location in which you have traveled to, contact our Technical Support department from a different device to receive assistance with troubleshooting.
We do not recommend joining PureTalk if you do not have coverage in your home location. If there is no coverage at your house, your cell phone will not connect to the network. You would not be able to connect to our service until you travelled into an area where there is coverage. If you still want to try out our service, you can check out our Trial SIM kit on Amazon.
There are many factors that could influence your connectivity. If the reception has dropped suddenly in an area where you have always had service, you should contact our Technical Support department at 1-877-820-7873 for assistance from another device for troubleshooting.
Contact our Technical Support department at 1-877-820-7873 or dial 611 from your PureTalk phone to assist you in determining if there are any coverage issues in the area.
Every mobile phone has an International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number that identifies the phone. The IMEI is 15 digits long and it can be used to check various bits of information, such as the country of origin, the manufacturer, and the model number. When a phone is reported lost or stolen the IMEI will be blocked from use.
We look at three main criteria: 1) Your phone must be unlocked, meaning it can not be tied to another carrier because of your contract or payment plan. Contact the carrier if you are uncertain. 2) It must be GSM Compatible. Phones purchased from AT&T and T-Mobile are GSM compatible. 3) Phones that have been reported lost or stolen will have a non-compatible IMEI (serial number) and will not work.
Tethering is when you allow other devices to connect to your mobile device to access the internet via your cellular network connection.
This does use the data available on your plan and is also known as using a mobile hotspot.
PureTalk sells only unlocked GSM phones. Unfortunately, we do not have the ability to unlock phones that were locked by other carriers. If you learn your phone is locked, you would need to contact your previous carrier to request the device be unlocked.
A PUK code is a code used to unblock your SIM card. If at any point your SIM card becomes blocked, you may contact our Customer Support department at 1-877-820-7873 or dial 611 from your PureTalk phone to obtain your PUK code.
Yes, you sure do. Your phone won’t be able to make/receive phone calls or access mobile data without a PureTalk SIM card.
5G access is included with every plan.
Make sure you have a 5G compatible phone and you are in a 5G coverage area.
No, 5G works with standard PureTalk SIM cards.

5 Reasons You Should Get An Unlocked Phone
While unlocked phones dominate the market in developing countries, many people in the US and UK are used to buying carrier-locked devices.
But this results in them missing out on the benefits of unlocked phones.
So what exactly are unlocked phones and what benefits do they provide? Here’s all you need to know about the devices, including five reasons why you should choose an unlocked phone for your next smartphone purchase.
What Is an Unlocked Phone?
Simply put, an unlocked phone doesn’t carry software limiting it to a single mobile carrier. This means that users are able to switch carriers or SIM cards on their smartphone without the device blocking access.
A locked phone, on the other hand, only works with the network of the carrier that you bought the device from. For example, a locked AT&T phone only works on the AT&T network. Meanwhile, a locked Verizon phone will only work with the Verizon network. The phone will block access to other carrier plans, even if you insert a different SIM card.
If you want to use your locked phone with another carrier, you need to remove this software.
It’s not as simple as a factory reset of the device. Even rooting your phone isn’t necessarily enough.
Unlocked phones either never had this software installed in the first place or the software has been removed.
When it comes to compatibility, unlocked phones are not only CDMA or GSM-specific—you can get unlocked phones that are compatible with either (or both) of these standards. The central defining feature of unlocked phones is their ability to be used across different networks without carrier-imposed limitations.
Unlocked Vs Locked Phones: Reasons to Buy Unlocked
The restrictions imposed by locked phones mean that many people prefer unlocked devices instead. There are a variety of benefits to choosing an unlocked device, from increasing consumer choice to providing travel convenience.
1. Freedom of Choice
Buying an unlocked phone opens up a world of choice for consumers. Firstly, you aren’t limited to the phones that your carrier is stocking or selling.
You can choose to import a phone, buy discounted phones from resellers, or get a phone that your carrier simply doesn’t provide for some reason. Just make sure the phone supports the right frequency bands and you’re good to go.
Secondly, you also have more choice regarding who you buy your phone from. This means that you can compare prices to find the lowest or choose a vendor that’s the most convenient for you.
Unlocked devices also mean that you don’t have to base your carrier choice on your phone preference either. You can choose whichever carrier you want. This means you aren’t forced to stick with a carrier simply because they have the device you want. Most manufacturers provide unlocked versions of their smartphones on their online stores or Amazon.
Furthermore, an unlocked phone doesn’t mean a lack of manufacturer warranty or customer support. You can still enjoy the same perks of a locked phone—as long as you buy it from a vendor that provides a warranty.
2.
Use Dual-Sim Functionality
One of the biggest benefits of having an unlocked phone is the ability to use dual-SIM functionality on devices that support the feature. With dual SIM phones, you can connect to two different carriers at the same time. This allows you to shop for different voice and data plans for the best price, as well as providing a few other benefits.
However, if you have a locked phone, the only real benefit you can get from dual-SIM functionality is having two numbers from the same carrier on a single device. You miss out on the cost-saving benefits and outage avoidance that unlocked dual SIM phones can provide.
3. The Ability to Easily Sell Old Devices
Since 2019, many premium smartphones have been priced over the $1,000 threshold on release. As a result, more people are showing interest in buying and selling used devices. However, if you have a carrier-locked phone, this poses a major barrier to finding a buyer.
With unlocked phones, you don’t have to worry about whether a potential buyer is with the same carrier as you.
You could technically request your carrier unlock your phone for you. But this is an extra step of inconvenience and delays that unlocked phones avoid.
4. Switch Providers Without Changing Your Phone
With unlocked phones, you aren’t tethered to your mobile carrier when your contract expires or if you’re unhappy with their service. Switching carriers doesn’t require you to buy a new phone or ask your old carrier to unlock your device.
Rather, you have more freedom to change plans or switch providers when a contract expires while also keeping your old device. You can choose the best mobile carrier for you without worrying about needing to get a new device too.
Unlocked phones also make switching to a cost-effective prepaid plan or SIM-only plan much simpler. You can shop around for cheap plans or the best prepaid rates without worrying about carrier compatibility with your device.
5. Switching SIM Cards When Travelling
Locked phones prevent you from using a local SIM card when traveling internationally, since they are incompatible with other carriers.
This forces you to either enable roaming with your carrier (which is costly) or buy a temporary device when abroad.
With an unlocked phone, you can just switch to a prepaid SIM card from a local carrier. This saves you from having to port messages and apps to a temporary phone or relying solely on free Wi-Fi networks.
Even when traveling within your own country, you may find a destination has poor signal for your particular carrier. If you have an unlocked phone, you can switch out your SIM temporarily to use a carrier that has better signal in the area.
Unlock Your Carrier-Locked Phone
If you already have a carrier-locked phone, don’t fret. You can turn it into an unlocked device to reap these benefits.
From contacting your carrier to unlocking your phone yourself, check out our guide on how to unlock a carrier-locked phone.
iPhone delivery via Parcel | Package
It is easy to order Apple gadgets in the USA. You just need to know where to look for equipment, how to pay for the purchase and delivery to Russia.
All issues are resolved if you use Qwintry services. We present a short guide for beginners on iPhone delivery from America.
Delivery of iPhone via Parcel
Restrictions on sending things from the USA to Russia changed several times last year. By the beginning of 2023, clear rules have been formed that are easy to follow. The good news is that users of Wrappers can purchase an iPhone with delivery to Russia. It all starts with registration on our website.
Now, in your Personal Account, in the Purchase Assistance tab, add a new order. Choose a warehouse in the USA and proceed to fill out the application. Add a link to the product from the online store and copy the name from the product card for the corresponding item. “Color” is not required by default, but if you buy an iPhone in America, you should specify this parameter as well. Our staff will check the possibility of delivery to Russia of the selected product, then issue an invoice.
To pay for the purchase, use Russian bank cards or cryptocurrency.
When the ordered iPhone arrives at the Parcel Warehouse in Delaware, it will be shipped to Russia. Last year, our logistics service developed a new delivery method – Qwintry Smart. This is the most reliable way to send Apple equipment, any laptops and top gadgets to Russia. The parcel will bypass European customs, where the longest cargo delays usually occurred.
Another important aspect when ordering smartphones from the US is paying customs duties in Russia. Until October 1, 2023, the customs limit has been temporarily raised to 1000 euros. If the amount of goods in the package is less than this value, the client pays only shipping, without import duties.
Where to buy an iPhone in the US
In our articles, we told you how much new and refurbished Apple smartphones cost, and explained how to order a new generation of iPhone SE. Given the reduction in the range and rising prices in Russia, the delivery of gadgets from America is the only way to get fashionable equipment at a reasonable price.
Customers order iPhones through the parcel and on the official website and on third-party sites. Buying new technology on the Apple website hardly requires additional explanation. There is a showcase where all current generations are presented in all modifications. But few in Russia know that there is a section on the Apple website with refurbished smartphones.
Refurbished iPhone from the manufacturer is a device in a new case, with a new battery and with a full set of accessories. Such copies differ from new ones only in price: iPhone 11 Pro Max 64GB can be purchased for $350.
The market for remanufactured vehicles in the United States is growing rapidly. There are two sites where it is easy to buy an iPhone at a big discount in America: eBay and Amazon. Finding items on eBay is somewhat easier, which is why we listed this site first.
On the other hand, Amazon itself, as a corporation, sells refurbished iPhones with a one-year warranty. You can distinguish the seller by the description of the goods:
Delivery of iPhone in a parcel: reviews
With the advent of the Qwintry Smart delivery method, the main difficulty for customers from Russia was solved – the delivery time. Now, when sending an expensive gadget, you can expect that in 4-5 weeks it will be delivered by courier to the specified address. Thanks to the development of a new route, the question of how to buy an iPhone through a parcel has become relevant again.
After November 2022, customers are increasingly ordering Apple equipment, and after receiving the package they leave a review on the site. After reviewing the comments, it is easy to verify this. Compared to the situation a year ago, users note the fast delivery of parcels, without long waiting times at European customs.
