Calls after the 3G shutdown

The S62 line was sold unlocked in the US and works on AT&T, T-Mobile and their prepaid brands. Verizon support depends on the model, so check the IMEI. The S62 Pro's thermal camera works without service.

How to check yours

Find the IMEI: dial *#06#, or look in the phone's settings or under the battery.
Enter it in your carrier's compatibility checker. Every major carrier and most prepaid brands have one.
If it isn't supported, it's usually missing approval for VoLTE (calls over 4G), which every US phone now needs.

Who it still works for

Fine for job sites and outdoor work, as long as you aren't relying on it for banking.

If you're replacing it

A new moto g 2026 or Galaxy A17 costs little, gets years of updates, and several carriers give them away when you switch. Pair it with a low-cost plan such as Mint Mobile ($15 a month for 6GB on a 12-month term) or Visible ($25 for unlimited, taxes included).

Free phones when you switch

Current offers from Metro, T-Mobile, Verizon, AT&T and Xfinity.
