[jburna007]

Unlocked s23 will not change service to metopcs. Why?

[meself]

What happens when you try the sim

[jburna007]

Get the same error message. No network

Does the phone show unlocked

[jburna007]

Yes and my phone number shows.

Not sure the reason but I have heard of issues either porting into or out of metro pcs some have activation issues i would contact them if you did a port you can ask about the status

Yea I have had Metro for about 10yrs now. I don't have any major complaints but one thing that I'm aware of, it don't really bother me as I just try to work it out...is that ....if you take a phone that was previously with another carrier, they (metro) can usually sell you a SIM and program the phone to their access point but lots of the time there will be some features on the phone that no longer work. I dealt with those issues years ago, it's only if you bring a phone- even though it is Unlocked, it was built for a different operating system therefore you will loose a feature or two.
I have a Sammy S23 FE that I bought from Verizon and I'm not bragging at all when I say this, but I never paid the phone off so Verizon wouldn't unlock it for me. Not sure about the S23, S23 Ultra but one good thing....well its actually a awesome thing about the S23 FE is that it will hold up to like 6 ESIMS. So, if I want to try another carrier, I don't even have to leave the house...I just buy another ESIM....
