Need help to finish set up with my ZTE flip phone

[Dave615]

Hi there, would you kindly help me on how to finish setting up with Public mobile.  I only have a ZTE flip phone and would like Public Mobile to be my provider.  To complete, I have to get the App on Google or Apple which I obviously could not because the phone doesn't have that.  Please help.  Thanks a lot.

@softech , I didn’t think of that! I know a Lady with the same phone that wants to get an account in her own name! Glad this was posted since I didn’t know & gave her the wrong information! I would have to do it for her! 😕

@Dave615 Look like you need a phone now to finish the setup

You might need  to borrow a phone from friends and download the app and complete the steps
