If you're curious about how to activate a Metro PCS phone, you may be surprised to learn about Metro PCS and their calling plans.  Unlike other carriers, you don't need to sign a long contract with Metro PCS.  Their calling plans are month to month and you use it only for as long as you want.  This means no commitments for years to come with a cell phone plan!

Unfortunately you really cannot activate a Metro PCS phone on your own; you need to call Metro PCS and have them activate your phone for you.  This may be disappointing for those who want to activate a phone on their own but the steps to activate it are rather simple.  A quick call to their customer service number will mean your phone can begin working immediately.

You can also flash another phone to the Metro PCS network for a small fee.  Typically you need to bring the phone into a Metro PCS store to have them do this for you.  However this will mean keeping your phone and being able to enjoy unlimited calls with the Metro PCS network.

You can also activate a Metro PCS phone with call forwarding so that your phone will automatically forward calls to another number you choose.  Dial *72 plus the 10 digit local number to which the calls are to be forwarded from your phone.  Then, press send.  You should have a confirmation tone which indicates that call forwarding has been activated.

Using a Metro PCS phone and their calling plans can mean the freedom to call where and when you want without long-term commitments.  You get their great service and reliable network but can also keep your own phone if you opt to flash it rather than use a Metro PCS phone.
