Will a tmo iPhone 5s work on byod?

Fiancé needs new phone, she has Samsung s3 and battery life is horrible even with new batteries. Thinking about making the jump, we have metro so t-mobile network. Will LTE and all functions work?

Don't see why not with an unlocked phone and the right plan.

No problems there, it will work. Are you purchasing this unit secondhand? If you are, you will want to make sure the phone is clean and able to be used.

Yea, I know android it's imei same for Apple or serial?

 

[stevedec]

The IMEI is the key. There's only one device with that IMEI.

Just Googled it and it's a CDMA so no go

then I believe it should work for Sprint, Boost, & VM

The guy said it's unlocked for GSM, is that possible?

Look it up on the page I gave as the A1533 CDMA.

Compatible with T-Mobile.

Cool just wanna make sure I don't lose LTE

It would need gsm.radios installed... Go to the apple.com look for your device specs. If its a cdma you would have to flash gsm.radio n blobs. That's a long run... If it international you should be good to go but then you need to jail.brake... N find how to tweak you radios scripts. To be able to run radio n to stick. If its a gsm version you should nb good to go.

I have a iPhone 6 plus that I want to actiate but my concern is will my visual voicemail work and what's the best son settings for the iPhone? Thanks in advance

 

[confed]

Haha. I was pretty confused there for a second with the "son settings" until I realized it auto-corrected APN settings. When it comes to APN Settings you can find lots of information in these 2 threads - http://androidforums.com/threads/official-metropcs-byod-discussion-thread.738676/ and http://androidforums.com/threads/metropcs-guide-faq-info-of-apns-bands-etc.810843/

Is your iPhone carrier-branded and if so, what carrier?
