nice, thanks for the info, shame that the C6806 will prolly only be available via tmobile. if im not mistaken all the z's can be unlocked (bootloaders) except tmobiles :/

for the xperia Z, the tmobile model is the c6606, I know this because I have one and currently receive Tmobile LTE on it on metro's BYOD, and I am also going to probably sell it very soon lol.

Glad to help.

And you're right. It'll probably be locked, too. It's a shame. The Ultra looks like a great phone. I read rooting could be an issue, also.
 
I had a TM s4 that was unlocked. I popped my sim in and it was able to make calls but no internet. Is that because the phone needs to be activated on the metro network?

What would it take to get a TM s4 to authenticate on the metropcs network even though im using a metropcs sim? IEMI or ESN added?

Possibly 2 things, first correct apn, without it no data.

Second you may need to get the IMEI entered into your account.

So does he use that app then send him the file? He in turn restores it after backing up his own?
If that is the case I would like to try the F3 APN on my motion just to see what happens. ( no clue how to access my APN on cm 10 tho)

Won't work the OS wont even allow it in the 1st place and then for the same reason it just wont work. You have to have 310-260 on your SIM card which all ours are loaded with only 311-660
 
on gsm phone try going into setting, wireless and network, more, mobile then you should see access point name.

that is where you will find the apn tap it and it will show you the settings.

This one
is an example

Got a question. My Buddy just gave me a brand new iPhone 5 with iOS 7 installed (which he put on, of course). It is a Verizon phone. Can I use that with metro pcs?

Verizon has several (world) phones that have both cdma (for verizon) and GSM radio's. Most of those do not include the correct freq for tmo but I think the iphone is one exception.
