Hey guys, so I currently have the LG Optimus L70 right now that I bought from Metro about a year ago, so I recently decided it was time for a upgrade so I went ahead and bought the new, "Motorola Moto G (3rd generation) - Global GSM - Unlocked" from Amazon. My idea was that I could just simply switch out the SIM card in my current phone and put it in the new Moto and keep the same plan and number without any hassle. So when the phone came in the mail this morning I went to the Metro website to get some instructions on how to switch the card out and I found their compatibility tool for unlocked phones and when I searched the phone no results were found... Now I'm wondering if this is just because the phone has just come out and they haven't updated their list of compatible devices, or if it's not compatible right now and it simply won't work on their network.

I'm really stuck right now and could really use some help because I have the box in front of me and I'm not able to open it to try and put in the SIM card in and check to see if it works because if I do that I will not be able to return it in case it doesn't work and then I'll be out $200. Anyone know what I should do?
 
If you can't just test the card in the phone, contact MetroPCS and find out if it will work. Keep in mind that MetroPCS does not have very good customer service so you may get a wrong answer, depends on who you talk to. I've read about people talking to them about something on their web site and they would get 2-3 different answers from MetroPCS support in addition to what the web site told them about compatible phones.
