To port out your number from MetroPCS to another network, you need to gather your Metro account details, including your account number and transfer PIN. Once you have these details, contact the new carrier and request that they port your number to their network. The new carrier will complete the entire process on your behalf.
It is important to ensure that your MetroPCS service and number are active before starting the port-out process. MetroPCS does not charge to port out your number, but you may have to pay any outstanding bills on your account. After the port-out process is complete, the new network will contact MetroPCS to cancel your service and account on the network. It is advisable to contact MetroPCS customer support to confirm your service has been canceled to prevent continuous billing, especially if the auto-payment method is active on your MetroPCS account.
