How to Easily Transfer Your Phone Number to MetroPCS

Switching to MetroPCS Made Easy

If you’ve decided to make the jump to MetroPCS and want to bring your current phone number with you, you’re in the right spot! We’re here to guide you through the entire process, ensuring everything goes smoothly. Here’s how you can easily transfer your number to MetroPCS while keeping your original number intact.

Can I Keep My Number When Switching to MetroPCS?

Absolutely! Keeping your existing phone number is totally doable when you transition to MetroPCS. The only hiccup? In extremely rare cases, we might not be able to transfer your number due to a lack of transfer agreement with your current service provider. Don’t worry; this doesn’t happen often!

What Do I Need to Transfer My Number to MetroPCS?

Before you begin the transfer, you’ll want to gather some key information:

  • Your current phone number(s)
  • Name of your current service provider
  • Your current account number(s)
  • PIN or password associated with your account
  • Your billing address, including zip code

Once you’ve rounded this info up, you’ll enter it during the checkout process after selecting your new MetroPCS device. Simple, right?

Don’t forget to touch base with your current service provider to:

  • Request a port-in PIN/password
  • Confirm that your device is unlocked and can be ported
  • Remove any blocks or restrictions from your account
  • Ensure all outstanding balances are settled

When Should I Cancel My Existing Service?

Here’s an important tip: don’t cancel your current service just yet! It’s crucial to keep your existing plan active until your number is completely transferred and activated on your new MetroPCS account. Cancelling too early may lead to service interruptions, and nobody wants that.

How Long Does the Transfer Process Take?

Once you provide all the necessary information during the purchase process, you can expect to get your new MetroPCS device within 2-4 business days. Exciting, right? On the day your device arrives, you’ll also receive an email filled with activation instructions to get everything set up. Stay tuned!

How Do I Complete My Transfer?

When your new MetroPCS device arrives, it’s time for activation! Follow the detailed activation email that you received on the delivery date. Once your device is activated, your previous device will be deactivated, and voilà – you’ve successfully switched to MetroPCS!

For any further questions, you can explore more detailed support through MetroPCS’s official channels. It’s all about making your transition as smooth as possible!
