Help Setting up Nexus 4 to work with metro pcs.

[FiretoFlames]

I just bought a Nexus 4 and I'd like to activate it on Metro PCS. I inserted the sim card thinking it would work but it doesn't. I read on various sites that it does work since Metro PCS is on T-Mobiles network. So how do i set up so it can work to make calls and stuff?

You would need to make sure you have a GSM Metro PCS SIM (some Metro PCS SIMs are 4G LTE CDMA SIMs and not GSM), then contact Metro PCS for their APN information or try this from another forum:

here are my Metro GSM Galaxy S4 VPN settings from factory, hope they serve you:

Also remember you need to activate the SIM with MetroPCS before it will work.
