Just bought your new prepaid phone with Bell MTS and need to set it up? Getting set up with MTS is super easy when you follow these steps:

  1. Open your prepaid phone package
  2. Attach the battery to your device
  3. Charge your device for a minimum of 24 hours.
  4. To activate your device, contact the Bell MTS 800 number from a phone other than your new prepaid phone.
  5. Be ready to take down important information with a pen and paper.

Once you’ve completed these steps, turn your phone on and enjoy your new service!
