Samsung Galaxy Mega I9502 LTE & I9500

[MrHerbDaily]

I found a website that sells unlocked Mega 6.3 I9205 and I9200 phones. Do they both work with metro pcs? And do these phones require a sim card? Right now I have a LG Motion 4G and would like to upgrade. Would I be able to activate the samsung galaxy mega 6.3 without a sim?

They're both GSM phones, so they need a SIM.

OK, so I would have to purchase a sim card for $10 from metropcs and I can then transfer my service from my LG motion to Galaxy 6.3?

Thanks.

You do know you wouldn't be able to get LTE and you'd only get HSPA in refarmed areas

Which website and what are their prices?

There are websites that sell fake phones for cheap, and their quality is not that great. Make sure this is a legitimate website before buying from them.

I believe you got this backwards. If the megas he is looking at are the same as the att model and not the unlocked international versio they support bands 4 and 7 lte. But do not support the hspa+ t mobile bands. So he would only get 2g or lte.
How much are they selling the megas for? 399 thru metro themselves isnt a bad price at all for it and you dont have to worry if its compatible or not.

Nope ATTs is the i527 and in an area where you get LTE on tmobile with ATTs model you're more than likely to get HSPA+ on the 1900MHz band since the equipment basically goes hand in hand

So if I upgraded through metro pcs and got the phone from them I would not get 4g or LTE?

You'd only be able to get HSPA+(4G) on the 1900 band, no AWS HSPA or LTE

 

[MrHerbDaily]

I don't get it, why does metro pcs advertise it as LTE phone then?

I think Gman missunderstood your question.

If you bought the metro branded device I am fairly sure it will work on both 4glte and AWS hspa.

I have not looked into that phone though so I could be mistaken.

Oh yes the metro branded one will get LTE
