I found an iphone 5 and wanna change the service poviderr?

Its with at and t. Can i unlock it and add a line on it with metro pcs?
And i have no idea if itll get reported missing i really did find it but i wasn't gonna go around asking if anyone owned it so i just walked around with it on my hand wait to see if anyone claimed it.
Anyhow can it get coneccted and will restoring it help
Metro said they could do it but i didn't tell them i found it.

Well, this is optional, but you could jailbreak it to unlock it, but that's illegal. Other than that, sorry I don't think their is any other way. But once you unlock it, you could use a sim card. Hopefully this helped

Most modern phones have tracking systems to help track their lost or stolen phones so be careful they might track it back and think you stole it then you'll be in some trouble. Also they have like a kind of kill switch which shuts down the phone and won't let the phone work which will be hot lined as stolen and can't be reactivated on the network. The ESN is the only thing that will make the network recognize your phone, so I would look for another one unless you just want this one for parts. Although if you unlock the phone I think you can reactivate it on your carrier but its risky good luck hope this helps!

The phone can be tracked & its you that would be in trouble should it be traced back to you.

You wouldn't be able to get it on metroPCS anyhow.
