Activate

Choose what you need.

Activation and bill payment both happen in the shop — there is no online version of either. Tell us what you need here and we will have it ready, then come to 15300 Livernois Ave and you are done in minutes.

Only the questions that matter for your situation — nothing else.

What brings you in?

Pick one — we'll only ask what's relevant.

The details.

Let's get you connected.

Leave your info and we'll confirm what to bring. Activation happens at the counter — this just means we are expecting you and have everything ready, so it takes minutes rather than an afternoon.

Please enter your name.
We need a way to reach you.
Enter the 15-digit IMEI — dial *#06# on the phone and it pops right up. We need it to check your phone works on the new network.
What's an IMEI & where do I find it?

The IMEI is your phone's unique 15-digit ID — like a VIN number on a car. We use it to confirm your phone is compatible with the network and ready to activate before you come in. It stays private.

  • Fastest way: open the phone's dial pad and type *#06# — the IMEI appears instantly, no call needed.
  • iPhone: Settings → General → About → scroll down to IMEI.
  • Android: Settings → About phone → IMEI.
  • Phone won't turn on? The IMEI is printed on the SIM tray and on the original box label.

See two IMEIs? That's normal on dual-SIM phones — just send the first one (IMEI1).

Carriers we activate

Seven networks,
one counter.

We activate service on Boost Mobile, Simple Mobile, T‑Mobile, AT&T, Verizon, Cricket and Gen Mobile — new number, keep your number, or bring a phone you already own. Walk out connected the same visit.

Also at the counter

Bill payment center.

Pay your phone bill, your utility bill and more in person, at the counter — in cash if you prefer. There is no online payment and nothing to set up: no account, no card on file, no app. Come in during store hours and you are done in a couple of minutes.

Paying in person means it clears while you stand there — useful when a bill is due today and an online payment would take days to post.

Common questions

Answers before you ask.

Which carriers can you activate?

Boost Mobile, Simple Mobile, T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon, Cricket and Gen Mobile. New number, keep your number, or bring a phone you already own. Activation is done at the counter, not online — tell us what you need first and we will have it ready so you are in and out in minutes.

Can I pay my phone or utility bill there?

Yes, in person at the counter — phone bills, utility bills and more, in cash if you prefer. There is no online payment; you come to 15300 Livernois Ave and it is done in a couple of minutes. Paying in person also means it clears while you are standing there, which matters when something is due today.

Can I keep my current phone number?

Yes. Bring your account number and PIN from your current carrier and we will port your number over.

Can I activate a phone I already own?

Yes — that is "bring your own phone". Send us the IMEI (dial *#06#) and we will confirm it works on the network before you come in.

Still not sure? Call (313) 340-9621 or visit us at 15300 Livernois, Detroit.
