Prepaid Phone Activation in Glendale—New Lines & Number Transfers

Switching to prepaid is one of the easiest ways to cut your phone bill. We’ll help you pick the right carrier and plan, activate your SIM or eSIM and transfer your number—all in one visit.
  • Keep your number
  • SIM & eSIM
  • No credit check, no contract

Four carriers, one friendly store

As an authorized prepaid dealer, Telasco Wireless activates service for T-Mobile Prepaid, Verizon Prepaid, H2O Wireless and Ultra Mobile. Each carrier has strengths—coverage, data amounts, international calling or price—so we’ll ask how you use your phone and recommend plans that fit. You can compare prepaid plans before you visit.

What to bring

  • Your phone (unlocked or compatible with the new carrier)
  • To keep your number: your current carrier account number and transfer/port-out PIN
  • A form of payment for your first month

Is my phone compatible?

Most unlocked phones made in the last few years work on all four carriers. Carrier-locked phones may need to be unlocked first by your original carrier. Bring your phone in and we’ll check compatibility and IMEI status in a minute. If you need a new device, see our new and pre-owned iPhones.

After activation, you can pay monthly in store—see prepaid bill payment—or set up Auto Pay with your carrier for extra discounts where offered.
