To add a line, sign in, open the line switcher at the top of your account, and choose Add a line. You pick a plan and check out while signed in, and the new line appears in your account with its own number, plan, SIM, and bill.
Before you add a line
- Check the phone. It must be unlocked and compatible. Enter its IMEI on the Bring Your Own Phone page. See Supported Devices & Compatibility.
- Choose eSIM or physical SIM. An eSIM is delivered instantly. A physical SIM needs a Parrot Mobile SIM kit. See Physical SIM vs eSIM: What's the Difference?
- Keeping a number from another carrier? Get the account number, transfer PIN, and billing ZIP from that carrier first, and keep that service active until the transfer completes. See Porting Your Number to Parrot Mobile.
How to add a line
- Sign in at app.parrotmobile.com.
- Open the line switcher at the top of the page and choose Add a line. This opens our Plans page.

Line limit
Each account can hold a limited number of lines. If checkout says you've reached the maximum number of lines on this account, contact support and we can review adding more.
After checkout
- eSIM: we email the install link and QR code, and it is also under More > Line settings > SIM once you select the new line. See Setting Up Your SIM or eSIM.
- Transferring a number: the new line's Overview shows Transferring your number with live progress.
- The new line appears in the line switcher and under More > All lines, with its own Overview, Top up, Billing, and Voicemail tabs.
How billing works for extra lines
- You pay for the new line's first month at checkout.
- Each line renews on its own date, based on the day it activated, and gets its own bill. Lines are not combined into one bill.
- Each line uses its own card, which you can change on that line's Billing tab under Card for this line.
- See every line's bills together under More > Account billing > Invoices.
