SIM card only has 19 digits MetroPCS

Q: Where is my 19 digit SIM number?

Whats your SIM card number? Your SIM card number is the 19-digit number printed on the SIM card holder, under the barcode. If you dont have the card holder any more, dont worry - the numbers also printed on the back of the SIM card itself.

I am trying to transfer from Fido to Public Mobile. What should I do? Should I purchase a new plan and SIM card first?
Can I do without changing my phone number?
Thank you again!

If you already a PM account, you can port your FIDO number to PM.

If you want a new PM account,

1. Buy a SIM card

2. Activate you new PM plan with a number provided by PM.

3. Test the PM service

4. You can port your FIDO number to PM after your are happy with the PM service and everything are working.

Are you ready for the Galaxy S20? Here is everything we know so far!

Activating MetroPCS phones online...SIM number?

Hi guys! Yesterday I bought some MetroPCS phones and seem to be having trouble activating them. I am trying to activate on their website, only to find that I can't get it to work. Under activation, I entered my zip code and IMEI, but when it asks for the "SIM Number", NONE of the numbers on the SIM card or the Micro SIM work. Anyone know which number it is? I'm confused and need my phone for work!
Any help is appreciated!

On the card the sim card came on the number near the barcode is the one you should do it by phone though.. Just pop the sim in *228 go from there

I ended up calling them. Apparently they are having a minor issue with the website not recognizing SIM card numbers. All is well now! Glad I went with MetroPCS though... great price and the T-Mobile network is very strong in my area.
