You can check phone compatibility here: https://www.metropcs.com/content/metro/en/desktop/metro/offers/bring-your-own-phone.html

Keep in mind, a quick search on Google for "phones compatible with MetroPCS" reveals a bunch of phones that are GSM. It is entirely possible that your Verizon-branded phone won't have the radios needed to connect to the MetroPCS network.

Edit: once the page finally loaded (boy was it SLOW), it seems there is no Galaxy S5 listed at all in their compatibility checker.
