How does the cellular activation process work?

                                (Click to enlarge)

The first step in cellular activation is to complete the Cellular Opportunity Registration Form. This form registers both you and your end-user with the chosen carrier, identifies you as the partner of record, and enlists the support of the Carrier's Field Sales Team in closing the deal for a wireless data and/or voice plan.  Please contact your ScanSource Sales Representative in order to register an opportunity.

Once the deal is closed, the carrier field rep will help you complete the Co-Sale Activation Form (Sprint Cellular Activation Form & AT&T Cellular Activation Form). This form captures critical information, such as the data and/or voice plan selected, the rate, and your end-users carrier account number. Submit this form, along with your purchase order for the related Motorola mobile devices, to your ScanSource sales rep. (Please note the tab "Equipment Information" will be completed by the ScanSource System Integration team at the time of the activation of the specific mobile devices)

Our System Integration team will then power up and activate your mobile devices, register the appropriate serial #'s, Sim#'s and/or IMEI#'s with the carrier, and test for cellular connectivity. Our integration team can also load and configure your application and drop ship the turn -key solution (blind) to your end-user.  Click here to watch a brief video on how our Custom Configuration Center activates devices.

And best of all, the full activation commission you earn will be paid up-front, so you don't have to wait 45-60 days.

Please contact your ScanSource sales rep for pricing or with any questions regarding the activation process.
