According to reddit.com to switch to lifeline service you should contact the customer service number for your Lifeline provider and ask for your account information because you intend to port. Once you have the account number, security pin, and any information that they require for a port out, bring it to the store with a valid ID and they can get you started.

According to the comments posted at quora.com, to use MetroPCS phones on T-Mobile, the phone should be unlocked. MetroPCS phones usually come with an app that should allow you to unlock the phone. Once the phone is unlocked you will need a T-Mobile SIM card that fits your phone. You may visit your local T-Mobile store to purchase the card and have them activate that phone to your account.

How can I get a refund

During the Corona beginning I had just paid my service and my phone broke like a day later...I actively tried to find a metro anywhere in my area and none were open I then had no choice but to go with boost mobile because they were the only one that was open and I needed a phone immediately. I really didn't want to end my service with metro but I had no choice in the matter. Was wondering if there was anyway I could get a refund considering the circumstances

According to the “How to Unlock a MetroPCS Phone” article posted at androidcentral.com, the safest and simplest way to unlock is to contact MetroPCS Customer Service by phone at 888-863-8768 (or simply dial 611 from your MetroPCS phone).
MetroPCS uses SIM cards that can easily be unlocked so you just have to provide a bit of info in order to unlock your device. You can do so over the phone or in a MetroPCS store.
You should provide the following details:
  • phone number of the phone you want to unlock;
  • full name on the MetroPCS account;
  • the account PIN;
  • the account email address.

Once this process is completed, you'll receive an email from MetroPCS with the unlock code for your device. From there, simply enter the new SIM card into your MetroPCS phone, follow the instructions and enter the provided code.
