This can happen because of application timing, payment status, device availability, eligibility review, or system processing.<\/p>\n<h2>Common reasons this can happen<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Your application was not completed within the required review timeframe.<\/li>\n<li>A payment connected to the order could not be completed or confirmed.<\/li>\n<li>The originally selected device is no longer available.<\/li>\n<li>Your application or order needs additional review before a device can be shipped.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What BYOD or SIM-only means<\/h2>\n<p>BYOD means you can use your own compatible, unlocked phone with TAG Mobile service. SIM-only means TAG Mobile provides the SIM or eSIM needed to activate service, but a new phone is not included with that order.<\/p>\n<h2>What to do next<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Check your email or text messages for updates about your application or order.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure any required payment or document request has been completed.<\/li>\n<li>Contact support if you believe your order changed by mistake.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Order details can vary by account, so TAG Mobile support can review your specific application and explain your available options.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn why an application or order may change to bring-your-own-device or SIM-only during the TAG Mobile review process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[26],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-23167","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-getting-started"],"featured_image_src":"","featured_image_src_square":false,"author_info":{"display_name":"khai do","author_link":"https:\/\/tagmobile.com\/blog\/author\/khaido\/"},"rbea_author_info":{"display_name":"khai do","author_link":"https:\/\/tagmobile.com\/blog\/author\/khaido\/"},"rbea_excerpt_info":"Learn why an application or order may change to bring-your-own-device or SIM-only during the TAG Mobile review process.","category_list":"<a href=\"https:\/\/tagmobile.com\/blog\/help-center\/getting-started\" rel=\"category tag\">Getting Started<\/a>","comments_num":"0 comments","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tagmobile.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23167","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tagmobile.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tagmobile.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tagmobile.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tagmobile.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23167"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/tagmobile.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23167\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23176,"href":"https:\/\/tagmobile.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23167\/revisions\/23176"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tagmobile.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23167"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tagmobile.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23167"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tagmobile.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23167"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
