@yyc123456 Yes you can use the phone purchased from PM with another carrier if you want, however, you won't get the $20 account credit unless you already an active account with PM or intend to activate a new account by April, 7th.

Yes. But if you want the account credit you need to activate using the email in your phone order by April 7th. Or if you have a family member with public mobile use their email so they get the credit as long as it's the same as their self serve email.

All carrier are not allowed to lock phone since December 2017.

There is a PM phone sale starting today and you can get $20 credit on the end of April bill.
