Obtaining service for your phone

Contact MetroPCS and follow their instructions for obtaining service, if necessary. We suggest that you read this guide to fully understand the services your phone supports.

Turn your phone on

1.Fully extend the antenna for the clearest reception, then open the flip.

2.Press and hold for two or more seconds.

As with any other radio-transmitting device, do not touch the antenna as it affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than is necessary.

3.MetroPCS momentarily appears in the display and your phone begins searching for a network signal.

4.Once the phone finds a signal, the time, date, and day appear in the bottom of the display.

5.You’re now ready to place and receive calls.

If the phone is outside of your carrier’s coverage or roaming area, appears in the top of the display. If you cannot place or receive calls, try later when service is available.

Turn your phone off

•Press and hold for two or more seconds. Your phone powers off.

If your phone is on and you press for less than one second, the phone will not power off. This prevents your phone from being turned off accidentally.
