Change your phone number to cut down on unwanted calls.

MetroPCS offers two options to change your cell phone number and stop unwanted phone calls. There is a small fee for the change. One way is to visit a MetroPCS store and let the dealer know you wish to change your number. The dealer will take care of all aspects of the change for you, including setting up your phone with the new number. You can also change the number yourself with a short phone call to the customer service automated voice response system.
