Dads can do it tv: Good method too, but it's easier to go to the "my metro" app, go to the bottom where it says "account" scroll down where it says "switch phones" and follow the instructions BUT first if you're using an unlocked phone, load the "my metro" app on the unlocked/new phone, done in 5 min, pull out your same sim card and put it in the new phone when the screen tells you to and done and for me that am a tech dummy, that's saying something...LOL! Keep these great videos coming.
@@chiriviscospowerok so since you screen is obliterated you can find the imei # behind the battery pack. Or use the numbers of the Sim card and transfer your Sim card to the new phone.. I hope this helps.
I just got a new phone and your video is spot on for transferring the sim. As you mentioned in the comments, the icc is the number printed on the sim card. Also mentioned in the comments, the F is included in the number in the setup process. Thank you very much for your video and very clear explanation of swapping phones. You're the best.
Thank you brother! You helped save me some money and I appreciate it. People, in case you forgot your pin # you can call customer service and they will give it to you. Avoid at all cost having to go to the store because you will be charged for something. God bliss!
BRO!!! you are the man i legit spent like 4 hours trying to figure this out came on here found your video and by the end of the video my phone was all set god bless happy holidays!
THANK YOU!!! just bought a note 20 and couldn't get it to work, watched multiple videos and nothing worked! Except for your video! 🤗🤗. It was quick and easy, even a dummy such as myself couldn't do it. Thanks a bunch!!
You are very welcome. I'm glad I was of some help to you. I try to explain thins as I would like them explained to me. Detailed. Well thanks for watching my video.
@@dadscandoittv Is there a 24 hour wait or something after a phone switch cause I just switched to a 12 pro max and now I’m trying to switch my little brother to my old phone and it keeps saying we are experiencing technical issues right now
You might have to call. But do not pay anything. Have your account open and ready, so you can tell them to walk you through it. This way you don't have to pay. Let them know what happend as you explained it to me. They will help. Good luck. Please let us know what they say. Thank you.
@@invincible4815 Did you ever get that issue figured out?? Cause I am trying to swap my phone to a new phone and it keeps saying the same thing to me... SO annoying. 🙄
Thankyou so much. I find it odd they will offer very expensive phones to lure new customers, but basically nothing to keep current ones. I have been with Metro 5 years.
You are very welcome. You can also pay your phone bill using the mymetro app on your phone on on the same website you went to switch phones. This way you miss the store trip and also save the $4 processing fee at the store.
I want to let you know about a app that will save a lot of work. Content Transfer in the app store. It's free and will clone your phone for you. It will transfer any data, pictures, contacts phone to phone.
damn i had to pay 22 dollars everytime i purchased a new phone now can do it for free,thx man you deserve the like and suscribe and God bless ur family
Omggg my google pixel broke today and I'm getting it shipped out for fixing. My mom had an iPhone for me to use in the meantime and this worked!!!! Saved me $20 that would've been $40 to switch back to my pixel 4a again. Thank you so much sir!!!!!!!!
Hi. No it does not. Because your yearly upgrade is when you upgrade your phone at the store. It has never affected me. I say this because I broke my phone. I bought one on offerup switched my line a month later I went to the store for an upgrade and had no issues.
thanks man, I got a new phone because my old iPhone broke and I had to switch my number to another Android over the phone which worked and now I have to switch the number to my new phone all because I needed to receive a verification code from Apple but yeah anyways the guy at the store and one of the people over the phone told me it was better to do it online because it’s free which is what I’ma do! 😊
Hi, I have my Stylo 6 working right. Got Metro on the web, sight said they had problems and to call them. It was Metro & The lady hooked me up with no problems at all. Gave her the IMEI # AND she did the rest.
@@dadscandoittv I am having a problem with typing in the info. I have the numbers but I can't the letters to type the capitol F. I'm using a tablet so maybe that's why.
Question: When you say imei to the new phone, are you referring to the imei of the new phone? Or do you mean grab the imei from the old phone to the new phone? Or in simple terms which imei do I grab, old phone or new phone? Thanks.
Can you give me any advised. I tried to swap phones on mpcs to a samsung galaxy a52s 5g and they couldn't do it cause the IMEI was not compatible with Metro. Also what software are you using on your computer
Hi. Yup if the imei is not compatible unfortunately it will not connect. The software in my computer is factory. I have nothing special. But you have to make sure the phone is compatible with metro. Even if it is an unlocked phone. Still has to be compatible with metro. So I'm sorry I have no way nor idea around this issue. But I do wish you luck.
siiiimmmmooooon carnal!!! good to know there are other homies having nerd in them too. i thought i was the one of the few homieNERDS with computer skills. well not just computer but with technology and shit you know what i mean G... lol im playing man, never mind me im just a little stone right now ha. thanks for the information though
Hi, gonna have a new phone tomorrow & will use your video to set it up again. Bought it from ebay Metro still don't have any desire to help their customers. I got a Stylo 6 .
Very good explanation of the process. However, it appears the latest online process has changed slightly. When you are entering the IMIE number of your new phone they call it the serial number of your new phone rather than calling it the IMIE. Then they asked me if I was using my old sim card and I said yes and bingo all was done. They even now add the F at the end for you.
Say that I want to use my new phone, the LG G6, and do what you just did here in the video, but I want to use a new sim card, because mine is 5 years old, and one of the metal things is a little bent...would I have to first do this procedure, and transfer the info from the old sim to my phone first? Or would I buy a new sim card that is compatible with the new phone and activate it for that phone? I am hella confused here? I just want to get a new sim card, and go from my old LG Aristo, to the LG G6? Can someone please help me here? Thanks...SBN RESONATE
In that case. You will have to enter the numbers ON THE SIM CARD instead of the iccid numbers. Very simple to do. Just make sure you do buy the correct Sim card made for your phone. You can't just use any Sim card. I hope this helps. Good luck and thank you for watching.
It should ask for the answer to a security question. That is only if you do not know your 8 digit pin. If you enter the correct pin/password it should not ask for it. Bit if it does. The store will have to wave the fees because you know the steps to doing the switch.
Thank you so much you gave really good instructions and I only ran into one bump that was I can't get the six digit PIN that they send you as a second security measure because my phone is has a blank screen
Thank you for the feed back. Keep in mind it is an 8 digit pin that you have. Not a 6 digit pin. I hope this helps. If anything you can go to the store and request your pin in person. Also keep in mind you can also pay your bill with your phone going into you "mymetro" app. This way you don't have to pay the NOW $4.00 service fee at the store.
There is some very tiny tiny fine print on the back cover of your phone. You can find the IMEI number they're printed on the back cover of your phone. If not second option is to take your phone apart it will be either on or behind the battery pack. Please be careful safety glasses and gloves as you will be working with broken glass. I hope this helps.
Also keep in mind. You can take out the sim card from the broken phone and connect it to your new phone. I also explain that in the video. So just transfer your sim card. Make sure you put all the info in the computer BEFORE putting the sim card in your new phone. You'll lock the sim card. So do the switch 1st. Just enter the SIM card numbers in placement of the IMEI number.

Your welcome. Gracias por ver mi video.
But what happens if the phone that you broke doesn’t turn on because u broke it? Can you still get the numbers another way?
There is some very tiny tiny fine print on the back cover of your phone. You can find the IMEI number they're printed on the back cover of your phone. If not second option is to take your phone apart it will be either on or behind the battery pack. Please be careful safety glasses and gloves as you will be working with broken glass. I hope this helps.
Also keep in mind. You can take out the sim card from the broken phone and connect it to your new phone. I also explain that in the video. So just transfer your sim card.

Just enter the SIM card numbers in placement of the IMEI number.
What if I but a new phone unlocked but with no SIM card? How can I get the icc number? Please help.
Unfortunately you cannot get around needing a Sim card. A d if you buy one it has to be for your phone. You can't put any Sim card in it.
