Sunbeam phones are unlocked and work with any compatible carrier. Some features such as hotspot will require a compatible cellular plan.
WiFi Calling is not officially supported but does work with some carriers. WiFi Calling must be enabled both on the cellular service plan and on the phone. To enable WiFi Calling on the service plan call your service provider via phone, enable it via their support chat, enable it via web portal, or install the SIM card into a smartphone and enable it via Settings. After this, enable it on the phone by going to Settings > Connectivity > WLAN > Wi-Fi Preferences > Advanced > Wi-Fi Calling > Enable Wi-Fi Calling.
If you do not see your preferred carrier listed here, you may check compatibility by providing this sample IMEI number to your cellular carrier: 359863101085262
