If you bought the device from a Metro PCS store. Return it for a refund minus the restocking fee. SIM unlocks for Metro devices must meet all of the Metro by T-Mobile SIM unlock requirements. If you bought the phone second hand or off of a website like Ebay. The original owner would have to request the SIM unlock if their account and the device meets the SIM unlock requirements that Metro by T-Mobile has. You might want to check the sellers return policy to see if they accept returns. If it is an Android device. You can more than likely get it SIM unlocked for a fee through various online SIM unlocking services for a fee or at your local cellphone repair shop for a fee.

We paid about $70 for each phone & have been told they are going to get them activated as they have merged metro. So far it has been 4 days waiting in line & hopefully soon we will get them working. I have faith 🙏 ✨️ 😌 My faith is diminishing FAST!
This is utter deception by both Metro & T-Mobile. They sold these phones without specific labeling to ensure no confusion to the consumers. These phone when powering on come up with the pink T-Mobile logo display. 🙄 unless you know how to find the unlock section the phones do do state they are by Metro. The sealed boxes are the same no needed consumer info. Hence deception pure & simple ugly buisness practices #IMHO Shame on both #Metro & # TMobile.
