I am contemplating a move from Republic by Dish to MobileX – eventually. I bought my iPhone SE 2nd Gen from Republic by Dish about a year ago. I am on the Everything You Need plan. This iPhone was locked by RW. If RW unlocks it, will this phone still work with my current Republic plan?

Yes, I can and will ask RW tech support, FWIW. Just wondering if anyone out there has any first hand experiences to share. Thanks!

Getting your phone carrier unlocked will not affect your service. Since your SE supports eSim/dual sim you can try out other services alongside your current rw service.
