How to transfer metro service to another phone?

Transferring Metro (by T-Mobile) service to another phone depends on whether you're keeping your number or getting new service. Here are the scenarios:

Keeping your existing number:

1. SIM card transfer (if same SIM size):
2. Remove SIM from old phone
3. Insert into new phone

4. Service should activate automatically

5. New SIM card needed:

6. Visit Metro store with ID and account details
7. Get new SIM card activated

8. Or call customer service for SIM replacement

9. eSIM transfer:

10. Contact Metro support to transfer eSIM to new device
11. May require visiting store for verification

Transferring service to another person:

1. Account takeover process:
2. Both parties visit Metro store with ID
3. Complete Transfer of Responsibility

4. New account holder takes over the number

5. Requirements:

6. Original account holder must be present or provide authorization
7. New account holder needs valid ID and credit check
8. No outstanding balance on account

Important notes: - Backup data before switching phones - Unlock old phone if you plan to use it with another carrier - Keep account PIN handy for verification - Update device in Metro system to ensure proper service

The easiest method is usually visiting a Metro store with both phones and your account information. Their staff can handle the entire transfer process smoothly.

If you're just moving your service to a new phone yourself, the SIM transfer method is quickest, provided your new phone uses the same SIM size.
