Root Moving out of state

[absolutky]

As the title states im possibly moving from MA to KY. KY is in the metro extended home area but not alot of the areas i will go
My question is can i get my lg connect 4g to work with another carrier in KY such as cricket wireless.
I am rooted as im sure that will be needed for this. Thanks for you help.

I doubt it unless they offer a carrier flash.

I think Cricket allows carrier flashes...

 

[old_member]

Boost , Virgin , Tmobile , At&t , Spint (Not Verizon) Cricket , ETC

Allow flashes from $0 - $35

Boost - $25
Virgin - FREE
Tmobile - Varies around $20
AT&T - Varies about phone
Sprint - About $30 any phone , Sometimes more or less
Cricket - (Friend got a Admire flashed from metro to cricket for $10 , he said the flashes are like about phone so I talked to him and he said it should be like $40 maybe or less)

So basicly take to phone to the carrier and let them do there "thing" it it and im all set?

Yup

So I can get my connect flashed to T-Mobile?

No , T-Mobile uses ussually full sim cards (Like a GSM network) and the Connect 4G Micro SIM only is for signal , No data on it , as most GSM networks you can save contacts on your SIM , so basicly No , The connect is a "CDMA 4G" phone

GSM Phones (Ussually FULL Sim Cards ) Work with Sometimes AT&T , Yes with Verizon , sometimes with sprint ,

CDMA Phones (Ussually only work with original carrier unless you do an illegal flash) are ussually Boost , Virgin , Metro , Sometimes Sprint

LG Motion uses a UICC Full Size Sim only for service , not contacts
LG Connect micro sim UICC only for 4G/Service

Phones like Sanyo Incognito , Samsung Messanger 2 Do not use Sims at all , so only the original carrier can activate it
(unless illegal flash)

Sorry its hard to explain , Point is , You would have to do something illegal to do that (lol)

Metro Phones Hard to Flash to a random carrier
Most AT&T Phones are compatible with T-Mobile
Most T-Mobile Phones work with AT&T
Most Sprint Phones work with Boost and Virgin Mobile (Same with other way around)
Most Verizon Phones work with either AT&T or Cricket
Most Cricket phones work with Virgin Mobile and US Cellular
Most Boring = I am done with the long list

The Samsung Vitallity is the Admire on Metro
ZTE Score is the ZTE Score M on Metro
And The last Cricket phone is WOW

Huawei Mercury
4 Inch Screen
2 GB Memory
8 MP 1080p Camera
Half a GB of RAM
1900 MAH battery (200 MAH over Lg Motion)
Android 2.3 (Used to it)
3G , Not bad
1.4 Single Core (Not bad as well)
For $200
Not bad for Cricket , Speeds are Up to 1.5 MB on 3G
They do not have 4G but they do have "Muve Music" plans like the Metro Rhapsody thing

Not bad 2/3 phones from metro and the last phone is kinda good but cant compete with the $300 LG Connect or the Samsung Attain , not even close to the motion!
