How do I sign up for ACP?

Joining is a simple and fast process. Before you start, make sure your phone is GSM compatible and that you have a BOSS Wireless SIM card. You will need either the ICCID number and the PUK code printed on the BOSS Wireless SIM card, or the Activation code printed on the SIM. You can also scan the QR code on the back of the SIM for faster activation.

If you want to keep your phone number, you will also need to make sure you have your phone number, account number (sometimes your account number is your phone number), and PIN of your current mobile provider. If you don’t have that information you will need to contact your provider to get it.

Once you have this information click “Join Us” from our home page and follow the simple directions.

When choosing a plan please be sure that you choose the ACP Plan.

After choosing the ACP Plan you will be redirected to a different webpage which will verify your personal information. Once your registration for ACP is complete you will be redirected back to the BOSS Wireless website to complete the registration with BOSS Wireless.

The registration process should only take a few minutes to complete, but transferring your number will take a little bit longer. Usually, it takes less than 10 minutes but sometimes up to 24 hours.

We will update you with the status of your activation if you provide us with an email address during registration or by following the on-screen instructions at the completion of sign-up.

While you are waiting for the phone number to be transferred your phone services will not work until the porting process has been completed.
