FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Things to consider before you suspend service or block a device

Lost or stolen device: Try and find your device. Once you suspend service, you can’t use GPS apps or features to find it. If you need to receive an authentication code and your device is lost or stolen, you’ll have to call us at 800.331.0500.

High data use: You can temporarily turn off data use by device. This prevents a device from using more of your plan’s shared data. Keep in mind, a disabled device still has data access when connected to a Wi-Fi network.
