moving a sim to a new phone

[corvairbob]

the wife has metro pcs and i got a free line thru her plan. the phone i now have on metro does not have enough storage and it makes me drop some of my apps. anyway, i got a metro nokia x100 phone that turned out to be screen locked and i could not get past that so i got another broken phone that let me put it on my google account and then i took out the motherboard and put it in the phone that was locked. so now i have a good phone that is on my google account but i need to get it activated on metro. so can i go to the metro website and go to the wifes account and where my number is change out the imei and have this nokia work? or will i have to go to the metro store or call metro? thanks

You have to call or go to a store to register the IMEI.
