Carrier Compatibility

Modified on Thu, Nov 14 at 3:00 PM

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

        International Roaming


This information is a continuation of the above general carrier compatibility but is focused specifically on International Roaming. Keep in mind that the roaming agreements negotiated by the carriers changes over time. The exact carriers available for roaming might change by location and network availability as well.


When planning an international trip, remember to enable International Roaming on your phone plan BEFORE traveling! Some carriers require verifying the account with an SMS and this can be impossible to receive if International Roaming isn't already enabled on the phone line. So don't get stuck in a foreign country without a working phone and remember to enable it before traveling.
