I have a tmobile iphone 5 and i want to get service with MetroPCS?

Can i open a new line at MetroPCS being that i'm only 17. What ar the requirements?

The phone will work, since metroPCS runs on top of TMobile now. The problem is that you are 17, and can't sign up for anything with anybody. Once you are 18, you can do this, but at 17 you'd have to have somebody else do the paperwork.

Any type prepaid account is all you are able to get in your own on any carrier, until you are 18. Once you are 18 you can sign contacts. Installment payments and 24/30 month plans are all contacts. No matter what the carrier says. So if you do not have the cash to get a plan of phone, prepaid and top up card accounts, are your only options.

You can just buy a metroPCS SIM and top it up with the plan you want. You need to factory unlock the phone though as it won't work without that on metroPCS. You don't need to be 18, they're prepaid. If you need help with getting the phone factory unlocked, mail me for more info.
