Why should I SIM unlock a Metro phone?

If your phone’s locked to the Metro, Metropcs or the Metro by T Mobile network you won’t be able to cash in on the thousands of deals offered by other carriers. The resale value of your device is less. Traveling abroad means hefty roaming charges. And, if your signal’s poor, you’re pretty much stuck with it. When you unlock phones, you also unlock their potential. Your Metropcs or Metro by T Mobile phone instantly becomes cheaper, more versatile, more global, and, most importantly, more suited to you. With power back in your hands, you can customize your phone use to suit your wallet, your lifestyle and your location.

How to unlock Metro phone

Hooked up to the internet or wifi? Got your device to-hand? Good. That means you’re ready to unlock your Metro wireless phone. Here’s all you need to do to activate your Metropcs phone unlock.

Locate your phone's 15-digit IMEI number by inputting *#06# into your phone. Or by going through your ‘Settings’ menu.

Found it? Good. Now type it into this page in the box above. And click ‘Checkout’.

And you’re done!

As soon as you checkout, our software starts scanning over 200 phone manufacturing databases globally to source the data and unlock code needed to remove the lock from your Metropcs cell phone.

How long will it take? Most Android phones can be unlocked within 1 to 6 hours. The phone unlock process for Apple devices can take a little longer to complete. Check the compatibility of your device here.

Got an iPhone or Apple device? In that case, you won’t need an unlock code. Instead, an automatic (or “over-the-air”) unlock will take place as soon as you’re hooked up to the internet or WIFI/3G/4G. Once the over-the-air process is complete, put your new SIM into your cell phone and turn it back on. Your device will update automatically and unlock ready for you to use.

Got an Android device? Check your email for an unlock code we’ll send you. Key this into your cell phone, put your new SIM card in and you’re all set to switch network.

Amazing!

Thank you MobileUnlocked! This was a much cheaper alternative to buying a new iPhone Pro Max! It couldn’t have been easier to unlock with MobileUnlocked, all I had to do was provide my imei number (it’s so simple and they clearly show you how to do this) and that was that. Amazing service – 100% would recommend!

Super Quick!

It was such a simple and cost effective process! My iPhone Xs was unlocked within no time and I will be returning to unlock my new Apple Watch 4.

Jeffery Brook 15/10/2023

I thought it would be complicated!

I can’t believe how quickly MobileUnlocked handled my request. Looking online, I read it can take up to 60 days to unlock a device, but MobileUnlocked unlocked my iPhone 14 Pro Max in under 24 hours! Fantastic service which I would highly recommend.

iPhone 11 Pro is Unlocked

This was such a quick and simple process, all I had to do was provide my imei number (which they tell you how to do) and I had my unlocked iPhone within 24 hours. Thank you MobileUnlocked!

Alex Darby 08/09/2023

Really Easy Process

So quick and simple! I followed the simple instructions MobileUnlocked provided and within 12 hours of placing my order my phone was unlocked. I would recommend this service to everyone and I will certainly be coming back when I need to unlock my next new phone.

Such amazing company!

MobileUnlocked are such a fantastic company! They don’t overcomplicate or overcharge, and their staff were both friendly and informative. My phone was successfully unlocked within hours, saving me both time and money. Highly recommend.

Flawless

I can’t fault my experience with MobileUnlocked. I followed the clear and simple instructions on their website and my request was carried out the following morning. The service couldn’t have been easier, and the instructions couldn’t have been clearer. My phone is now unlocked and I can’t recommend this company enough.

Unlocked iPhone 6

Despite my phone being an older model, MobileUnlocked were still able to unlock it. The instructions were clear and simple, and my iPhone 6 was unlocked in no time (making me a huge saving!). Thank you MobileUnlocked! Highly recommend.
