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.
