How to Transfer Your Number from Metro by T-Mobile to Another Carrier

Hey there! If you’re ready to move on from Metro by T-Mobile and take your phone number to another carrier, we’re here to guide you every step of the way. Switching carriers might seem intimidating, but trust us—it’s easier than you think!

Transfer Guide – Step by Step

Step 1: Gather Your Metro by T-Mobile Account Info

Before you start the porting process, make sure you have the following information from your Metro by T-Mobile account:

  • Account Number: This is not your phone number. To find your account number, log into your Metro by T-Mobile account or contact their customer service at 611 or 1-888-863-8768.
  • Transfer PIN: This is a six-digit PIN you need for porting. To get it, dial 611 from your Metro phone or call customer service. Once connected, request the “Transfer PIN,” and they’ll send it to you via text.

Make sure you have these details handy before starting the process.

Step 2: Start Your Port Request

Once you have your account details, it’s time to begin the porting process with your new carrier. Here’s how it works:

  1. Choose Your New Carrier: US Mobile is an excellent option if you’re looking for flexibility, affordability, and great coverage.
  2. Provide Your Metro by T-Mobile Info: Share your account number and Transfer PIN with your new carrier.
  3. Submit Your Request: Your new carrier will handle the rest, coordinating directly with Metro by T-Mobile to transfer your number.

Step 3: Keep Your Metro by T-Mobile Account Active

Here’s an important tip: Don’t cancel your Metro by T-Mobile account just yet! Your number must remain active throughout the porting process. Once your new carrier confirms that the port is complete, you can safely close your Metro account if you choose.

Step 4: Wait for the Transfer

Porting typically takes anywhere from a few hours to a couple of days. Your new carrier will keep you updated throughout the process. While downtime is rare, if it happens, it’s usually very brief.
