Official MetroPCS BYOD discussion thread

You all got me pretty scared lol. I called verizon they said the phone was not blacklisted and not reported stolen. Could the original owner still be able to report it? Don't worry guys I'll try my best to do the right thing. Thanks for the help
 
Yes, assuming they make an insurance claim (highly likely) the insurance company will have the phone locked in hopes of recovering it and mitigating the cost of the replacement claim.

Hmmmm they can be telling you it haven't been black listed cause they began to track the device when they got the information from you. remember you gave them the info to see if it was blacklisted. Just do the right thing don't force yourself into a major probe investigation. That's why were trying to help you .

I have a metro SIM from my L70 and today I picked up a Moto G (2014).

If I pop the SIM into the Moto G, will I be able to call metro and activate the Moto?

Yes, you should be able to get it activated by calling Metro. Congrats on your move to the Moto G. I've got the 2013 version and love it.
 
I searched and havent really been able to find an answer, but is it possible for the Verizon s5 to work on metropcs? I currently have a sprints3 flashed over but it's old and is starting to fall apart so I wanna replace it. I appreciate and input!

Not likely. Verizon is CDMA and Metro is GSM.
 
confed said:
Someone can double check but it should get HSPA and some LTE. It has GSM bands as well.

It will get EDGE/HSPA/LTE where available and once its the correct band. The phone has 1900 for EDGE, 1900 for HSPA, 1700 for LTE. Those are the bands that tmobile uses majority of the time at the current moment.
 
Idk if its been asked....but if I have the T-Mobile version of the htc one m7 (the 2013 model...not the m8 released this year) will it work on metro?

Ive never brought a device from another carrier to another carrier before but they have some sweet deals and I really want a.phone with mhl which the one has.

I currently get 4g lte from metro everywhere I go now on my Samsung galaxy light but its the metro version...not tmobile.

Im in the San Francisco/oakland.bay area..about 30ish miles from oakland

Let me know please and thank you. I.have an auction in another window that I'm just dying to click buy now
 
And by worki mean will I still be getting 4g lte service/speeds or reduced to 3g.? Thats a big feal for since I have unlimited data and routinely stream tv and movies plus live local tv news etc on my phones and 3g wont do it

You'll get the same exact service as its the same exact network T-Mobile and Metro are sharing so phone compatability is a non-issue.
