I'm trying to help my girlfriend who has a government assistance phone, but it's really old and needs an upgrade. She mentioned that she was with Q Link, but I heard that company went under and she was switched to a different carrier. I found her phone's software version (Oukitel_wp5_noeea_v02_20201020), but I'm not sure what carrier 'noeea' refers to. We're located in Wisconsin, which might help. Does anyone know how to find out what carrier she has or how to upgrade her phone?

You might want to try using a carrier lookup tool online. There are websites like carrierlookup.com where you can input the phone number to find out the carrier.
That’s a great idea! There are several tools out there that can help you identify her carrier by just entering the phone number. It could save you a lot of time.
Govt phone providers usually restrict the use of personal devices, but that's not always the case. Some programs let folks bring their own devices if they meet certain requirements, so it's worth checking. Either way, you’ll need to know the provider to get further info on an upgrade.
Absolutely! It's confusing, but definitely look up info on the latest requirements for upgrading.
Yeah, I've heard of people using older devices with government programs, just make sure to check the specifics for eligibility.
