Root Phone unlocked but no service

[bfldworker]

I have a T-Mobile variant of the Galaxy S5 it is running 6.0.1, not rooted. I bought it carrier locked. I have MetroPCS so I had to pay for it to unlock it from a website.

I put the metro sim in and it asked for a code, I put the code I got from the site and viola it accepted the sim. Now I am having issues with making calls and using data, the.phone keeps saying something about no network. I am thinking it may be the APN settings. Is there something else I am missing? Do I need to call metro and let them know switched phones?

Calling metroPCS is probably the best. I have the ATT variant and I needed to call them. I think it's an IMEI and sim connection with their service.

Your device isn't currently on Metro PCS' official BYOD list:

Try entering MPCS' APN settings:

Does that mean I can not use it because it isn't officially on the list?

I'm not sure, I had MPCS service for only a brief amount of time (3-4 months), & I used a Metro device at the time.

I just had someone else with problems with MetroPCS and data. There are some published APN's that don't work and ultimately they had to call. I'd recommend calling.
