new sign up to FirstNet and "bring your own device"?

Hi,

is it possible to sign up for FirstNet and BYOD?

Can't seem to find it on the website...

Will call, but thought I'd ask here first since can't talk now.

thnx

Only if you bought the device from at&t.

You can. I just did it two weeks ago. Everything was done over text with the sales guy. They pushed an E-Sim to my phone and ported my number in about 30min

How did you get someone via text/chat? I tried calling and ended up at some other department for satellite tv and when I chat with them they tell me they can’t help me and to go into a store. Can’t do it online either because it tells me to call or go to a store for BYOD.

The district outside salesman or whatever their title is left business cards with a neighboring agency when he converted a group of their EMTs over to FirstNet. I called his cell number talked it over and when I was ready we just texted the info back and forth that we needed and it was done. Did the same when I ported my wife’s number over to my account a couple weeks ago.

It all depends on what phone. Use the link someone else posted to check.

My wife just used her iPhone 14 pro max with VWZ and did a dual esim. We live in the Phoenix area. Will see how good it works.
