MetroPCS Quick Start
Information
Service
You will need the following information when
activating service:
• Your name, address, and an eight-digit number
that you will use to access your account (your
personal identification number “PIN”).
• Your serial number (IMEI) and SIM card number.
If your phone has a removable battery, to locate
the serial number, remove the phone from the
box and remove the battery cover from the
phone. The serial number is located near the
bar code. It will be either 14 or 18 digits. If your
phone does not have a removable battery,
check the box label or phone settings to locate
the serial number. The SIM card number can be
located below the bottom bar code on the back
of the SIM card holder.
• Your choice of MetroPCS plan and services,
including unlimited data, talk and text plans.
• Install the battery, if applicable, and SIM card in
your new phone by following the step-by-step
instructions in this phone’s User Guide.
• Once your phone is powered up, dial
1.888.8metro8 (1.888.863.8768) to connect
with an activation representative who will
assist you in activating your phone. You can
also activate your phone online by visiting
metropcs.com. (As soon as your service is
activated, be sure to fully charge the phone’s
battery before using it again.)
