When you register your Mint Mobile SIM card, it gives you the option to transfer an existing cellular telephone number from another carrier (AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, METRO-PCS, etc). You will need to provide Mint Mobile access to your existing cellular account to prove ownership of the cellular number and existing service. Transferring you cell number to Mint Mobile will close out the existing cellular account and possibly trigger fees and penalties depending on the terms of your existing contract. It may be more advantageous to contact METRO-PCS to obtain a replacement SIM card rather than migrate over to a Mint Mobile.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.SIM cards are specific to both the company from which you purchase your service and the carrier that they use. For example, I purchase my service from Consumer Cellular and use AT&T as the carrier. I have to obtain my SIM card from Consumer Cellular and specify to them to provide to me the SIM card for AT&T (as opposed to T-Mobile, which Consumer Cellular also offers).
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No merto uses their own sim cards. Every company does even though metro and mint run off tmobile they still have totaly has different Numbers that identify and actvate their services. Metro uses both thevnumber on the sim csrd snd the imie number of the phone to activate service. So if you pull out your Merto PCS sim that is already active and put it into another metro phone the service will not work until you call mrtro and give them the iemi to the new phone. Mint, tmobile at&t and most other GSM carriers just activate the sim and u can put it one phone and it will work then crange phones no problem by just switching the sim card to the new phone. Thsts was more into then needed but simple answer is you need a metro braned sim card.
