I guess you have a phone, now you need a wireless phone company as your carrier.

Who is your wireless telephone carrier? The answer would be something like Verizon, AT&T, Sprint.
Do you have a data plan for the phone?

As yet you have not asked any questions, just made the statement that you have an Android.
