New Phone via mail due to store closures..

[Steve40th]

Hey, I usually get new cell phones at bestbuy, due to convenience and not having to deal with Sprint stores.
But, stores are all closed, curbside service etc etc.
If I order one online, how do I get the new phone activated, and all my data onto it?
Galaxy S7 currently. phone is getting over 100f, and it is rattling inside..

Samsung devices come with smart switch. Pixel devices have a transfer tool as well.

Activation should be as simple as swapping your sim card over to the new device, or it will come with one of you buy the phone from your carrier (though you aren't required to but from your carrier) and will have instructions for activation in the box.

 

[me just saying]

you can activate your phone with just a phone call or online. the info will be included. you can also use transfer tools or even your current backup to move your stuff to the new phone. instructions for that will also be included. even with curbside service you may still be able to get bestbuy to do everything for you. just give them a call.
