What this BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) Guide helps you do

BYOD activations are different from new-device sales - the customer brings unknown variables (unlock status, network compatibility, software state) that complicate the activation flow. This Premier guide walks through the full BYOD process: pre-activation compatibility checks, unlock verification, SIM provisioning, network registration, and the post-activation troubleshooting that handles the common failures unique to BYOD scenarios. Reduce BYOD failure rate dramatically.

Should I charge for BYOD activations?

15-25 minutes with good process. Compatibility check (5 min), unlock verification (5 min), SIM provisioning and activation (5-10 min), and post-activation testing (5 min). Faster is fine; slower usually means something's wrong.

Yes - typical $25-50 activation fee covers your time and accounts for higher failure rates. Free BYOD activations don't reflect actual labor investment. Customers usually accept reasonable activation fees especially with successful activation.
