For Step 7 you can choose what label you have for your SU Private Wireless, we choose "Cellular Data" in our example, but this can be anything under the "Custom Label" tag. Once you are done, you can select Done

8.  The next step will ask you which one you want to use for your Default Line which is how you will receive texts and calls. For this you will select Primary.

9. For Step 9, you will be prompted which service you want to use for iMessage and FaceTime, and for this you will select Primary again

10. For Step 10, you will then be prompted for which service you want to use as default for cellular data, and for this one you will select what you chose for SU Private Wireless, so for us we will use Cellular Data, but you can use whatever label you want.

Another important note: You will also want to enable/switch on Allow Cellular Data Switching so that when you leave Cuse5G's range, it will swap between your personal cellular line, and SU Private Wireless.

Step 10

You may have to enable/disable Airplane mode in case it doesn't come on right away, but after that you should be all set!
