You should be able to get an LTE signal everywhere theres an LTE signal.

On HSPA you'd only get it in refarmed areas

Thanks for the help, looks like this is a good choice for me. I don't iive in a major city, (Tampa Fl is the closest.) Do I wait until Tampa is officially added to the list of areas, or could I buy a micro sim on ebay and have the phone chaned at my local metro store?

No I suggest just wait
 
Will we be able to activate one phone on the BYOD network and take the SIM card and put it into any compatible GSM phone(Activate a N4 through BYOD and take the SIM card out and put it in a GS4)?

Yeah but you have to go to corporate if you want it to work
EDIT: or a metro dealer just that I don't deal with them
 
am i reading wrong or are you guys saying that as long as you get your hands on a MetroPCS sim you can take it to a metropcs store in your area and have it connected (even if you live in a non-byod market)

No just switch phones all you want and take the sim from one phone to another but no you'd still have to go to a store

To enable tmobile bands see here this worked perfect for me. THIS IS ONLY FOR THE GALAXY NOTE 2 FROM AT&T

As much as I want to go BYOD with metro I am seriously considering tell them to take a flying F#$#@ and finding another tmo MNVO. Or better yet just grab the cdma S3 and run the network dry, by that time straight talk and others may just have access to the tmo lte.

With this talk about not keeping my grandfathered $40 all you can eat plan (hey i earned that the hard way thank you very much) if I switch to gsm they really are pissing me off. lol
I think it will depend on if that is the official final word.
 
That's a good idea making the point be heard on Facebook that might help, millions look at that I had issues resolved there and we can make a case about it too

yep I have posted a few times, I hope more people see and realize what it would mean for them.

One guy was asking about his $30 promo plan I responded told him "LM" appears to indicate that would not survive the switch.:(

I just think they are doing this because since cdma is going away and we are going into gsm /hspa /lte signal we have to pay for that investment tmobile made regardless of our time with metro, I don't know if they will shake things up but it remains to be seen let's see what happens
 
When you changed from the esteem to which ever you went with before the s3/ then when you changed to the s3 did they require you to change your plan?

I know when you went from the optimus M to the esteem they did, 3g to 4g plan.
 
I changed from the Motion to the Spirit and kept my $55 plan. The only "problem" was you couldn't make That change on-line because the plan no longer "existed".

When I went from the optimus to the esteem I had to pay more being that the optimus was 1x going into an lte phone was like $5 more. From the esteem to the s3 no change in price
 
i think what needs to be done is to set up at date and we should post what we think on there FB page..at least be heard..

I'm on the $55 +insurance $60/month.. now I will be paying $65+ plus there 2-3 convenience fees

Let me know we can all jump in and make a case on their Facebook
 
I too am curious, I posted on there already and for some people they have said pm them the phone number and name on account they will look into it, NOT on my post though lol
 
I also posted on their Facebook page and they told me to send them my information. They said that they were going to see what they could do.

We should all go and post at the same time. That's a great idea.
 
I have the old $60 with rhapsody so today I ask them if I was to keep my plan once I switch to the s4 they responded quick and said I keep the plan but will need to pay an extra $5 if I wanted to keep rhapsody so I will just drop rhapsody since I barely use it
 
So how would you know, once you drop Rhapsody, from looking at your account on-line, whether you indeed had your old plan or they had switched you to the new plan that is the same $ amount?
