To take advantage of the TravelTalk feature you will first need to:

Each time you travel, there are a few very important steps you must take to ensure a successful TravelTalk experience:

While in a MetroPCS home coverage area, dial *228, option 2, to update your phone's traveling capabilities.
Change your phone's setting to "Roam or Automatic". Please refer to your phone manual for instructions on how to change your phone's setting.
Verify that you have sufficient funds in your MetroConnect account. A minimum balance of $2.00 is required in order to place or receive a call.
Upon returning to your MetroPCS home coverage area, you will need to change your phone's setting back to "Home or MetroPCS only" to avoid unnecessary TravelTalk charges. Note: It is possible to go into a TravelTalk situation while in a MetroPCS coverage area if there is a weak signal in that area.
If you need to place a call while outside of MetroPCS’s local, Nationwide Coverage area or TravelTalk extended coverage areas, you will need to provide a credit card number to complete the call. The call may be completed via the American Roaming Network.
