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.

You should be able to send that code to the working phone. It should give you the option as to which line to send the code to. But If you have your 8 digit pin it should not ask for a code. The only other way, you will have to go to the store and let them know you know how to do it yourself. Explain the process and they will do it for you and wave the fees. Please don't quote me on this. As I do not work with nor for metro. But the fees have been waved for everyone else. I hope this helps.
