Why timing can vary Tips to activate faster

Activation usually completes within a few minutes, and can take up to 24 hours in some cases.

Why timing can vary

If you’re transferring (porting) your number from another carrier, activation can take longer while the two networks complete the transfer. Network provisioning can also add a short delay.

Tips to activate faster

  • Keep your phone powered on and in a coverage area
  • Toggle Airplane Mode off and on
  • Restart your phone after activation
  • Contact support if it takes more than 24 hours

Still waiting after 24 hours? Contact TAG Mobile support.
