⚡ Minutes, not days

It’s a two-step switch

No store visit, no waiting on the mail, no swapping tiny plastic cards. Sign up now and you can be making calls on Purple Cow before you finish your coffee.

  1. Pick your plan and check out

    Choose your data, add a line for anyone else in the house, and finish checkout. All you need is the phone you want to bring with you.

  2. Tap the link we text you

    We send a link straight to your phone. Tap it, your eSIM downloads, and your number starts porting over. You’re on Purple Cow before the kettle boils.

  3. There is no step three

    You should be good to go, with no service downtime at all. Go put the kettle on.

No eSIM? No problem

Most phones take an eSIM, so there is nothing to wait for in the mail. If yours can’t, the Onboarding Assistant checks that right after checkout and we mail you a SIM card instead. We text you when it ships.

eSIM works on iPhone (XR or newer), Samsung (Galaxy S20 or newer) and Google Pixel (Pixel 3 or newer).

Questions, answered

Will my price go up later?
No. What you see is the price, not an introductory rate that jumps after a year. If your plan price ever changes, it’s because you asked us to change your plan.
How fast can I actually be up and running?
Minutes, not days. The moment you finish signing up we text you a link, to the number you’re bringing over. Taking a new number instead? We email the link to you. Tap it, your eSIM downloads, and you’re on Purple Cow Mobile.
What is an eSIM, and will my phone take one?
An eSIM is a SIM card built into your phone, so there’s no little plastic chip to wait for or fiddle with. About nine in ten phones handle it, including every iPhone (XR or newer), Samsung (Galaxy S20 or newer) and Google Pixel (Pixel 3 or newer). If yours is roughly five years old or older, or was never a flagship, it might not.
What if my phone can’t do eSIM?
Then we mail you a SIM card. Right after checkout, the Onboarding Assistant checks your phone; if it can’t take an eSIM, we mail you a SIM card instead and text you when it ships. About nine in ten phones can take an eSIM, including every iPhone (XR or newer), Samsung (Galaxy S20 or newer) and Google Pixel (Pixel 3 or newer).
Can I keep my current number?
Yes, and it’s free. Don’t cancel with your current provider first: start with us, give us your account details, and we handle the port. Moving your number over cancels that cell line with your old provider for you, so there’s no call to make. Only the cell service ends; internet or TV you have with them stays as it is.
Do I need to buy a phone from you?
No. Bring the phone you have. Most phones from the last several years support eSIM, so you just tap the link we send you and you’re on. If yours doesn’t take an eSIM, we mail you a SIM card instead.
Is there a contract?
Month to month, always. Change plans or leave whenever you like, no cancellation fee.
What happens if I use all my data?
Nothing scary. We’ll let you know, and you can add data for the month. No surprise overage bills.
