How to unlock your device from MetroPCS with the Device Unlock App

Back in 2014, MetroPCS changed the way certain Android smartphones could be unlocked from their network. By pre-installing a Device Unlock App on the phone, MetroPCS customers can now request and apply a mobile device unlock directly from the device.

This is the only way to unlock a Samsung, LG, Alcatel, HTC, Huawei, Kyocera, Motorola, Sony Xperia or ZTE phone from the MetroPCS network with the Device Unlock App.

If MetroPCS has pre-installed the Device Unlock App on your smartphone, which can be found under the Applications icon, you'll need to follow the steps below to unlock your phone:

  1. Request your unlocking below by selecting the make of your phone locked to MetroPCS and then our Device Unlock App Service. DO NOT choose any other unlocking service. As the process is fully automated, we will be unable to issue a refund if any of the information submitted is incorrect.
  2. Once your unlocking request has been processed, we will send you an e-mail letting you know that the phone's IMEI number has been registered as unlocked on the MetroPCS server.
  3. Insert a SIM card from a network that is not from MetroPCS.
  4. Launch the Device Unlock App and select the "Permanent Unlock" option.
  5. The following message will be displayed: "Unlock Approved: Mobile device is permanently unlocked".

FAQ for MetroPCS Device Unlock App

The Device Unlock App Service is an unlocking service for devices with the Device Unlock App pre-installed by MetroPCS and that cannot be unlocked by inserting an unlock code which is the traditional way of unlocking a phone.

This service permanently unlocks the phone so it can be used with any network provider in the world.
If MetroPCS has pre-installed the Device Unlock App on your phone, it will be under the Applications icon on the main menu.

However, the phone must prompt for the unlock code. If it does not, unfortunately, your phone cannot be unlocked via IMEI.
Unfortunately, if you receive either of these two messages your MetroPCS device cannot be unlocked using the Device Unlock App. DO NOT request to unlock your phone if you see one of these error messages on your screen. We will be unable to issue a refund in this case.

Hassle Free & Super Fast Top-ups.

We have been using DoctorSIM for topping up our SIM cards for many years now, and we have consistently had an excellent experience.

The service has always been fast, reliable, and professional, with very reasonable rates and an impressive range of networks available globally. This is a real advantage compared with many other providers in the same business.

On one occasion, we accidentally entered an incorrect SIM/telephone number when making a top-up. As the funds could not be applied, DoctorSIM promptly processed a full refund back to the card we had originally used for the payment. Their response was quick, professional, and hassle-free.

And our most recent experience says it all: we topped up a SIM just a few moments ago, and the funds were credited within approximately three seconds. You simply cannot ask for much better service than that.

All in all, DoctorSIM has consistently delivered a first-class service over the years. We have no hesitation in recommending them 100% and will certainly continue using their services.

very nice and smooth experience

very nice and smooth experience. First top to TIM Brasil didnt work because TIM is bad provider. The money stayed in between. So I asked DoctorSIM to change the top up to VIVO (another number of mine) and the money were delivered in 5 minutes to VIVO number, so I could use the data and so on. DoctorSIM works perfectly with top ups.
