We live in a world where carrying powerful computers in the palm of your hand is as easy as holding a phone, so we inevitably rely on mobile service providers to keep our connections clear. What if you forget your log in for the mobile service provider, Metro PCS? That's easy too. There are just a couple of steps to take to reset your login, then you'll be able to access your account before you know it.

Some Tips

You probably know these by heart but we're going to go through them quickly. Many people don't think about the smaller things in life simply because they are that busy, but keeping these things in mind keeps things even easier than before.

  1. Maintain your Metro PCS account. This just means the basics; updating your preferences should they change. Not having them makes the whole process take longer and no one wants that. These can include your email address and your security question.
  2. Your phone number is your username. Metro PCS also uses an 8-digit PIN number instead of passwords. You would've set up your PIN when you activated your service with them.

Recover Your PIN

  1. Go to the Metro PCS website and click on login which is near the top right-hand corner.
  2. Enter your phone number and then click on Forgot Account PIN, just clicking on it without entering your phone number won't work as the site will then prompt you for the number in red.
  3. There is also the option to answer your security question, either way you should receive a text containing your PIN
  4. A far more secure option would be to go to your local Metro PCS store and show them your ID but your name must be the primary name on the account.
  5. If all else fails, contacting customer service is also a good option.
