Can an iphone with a bad esn be connected to metro pcs?

I just bought an iphone 4 Verizon phone with a bad esn, would I still be able to connect it to Metro PCS?

I doubt it. A bad esn means that it was reported lost, or the phone was on contract and the bill wasn't paid. So the phone is locked to that network. Before buying a cell online or from anyone out side of the carriers, you should ask for the esn so you can have it checked to make sure its clean, sorry but maybe someone else that is an iphone tech savy can help you, maybe a way to get pass that.

  • Is buying a iPhone with Bad ESN bad? I want to buy an iPhone 4 or 4s but it says bad esn. I'm not going to activate the phone to any provider. I just want it for Wi-Fi for home use. Is it bad to buy it or okay?

  • Does a bad esn in America still be a bad esn in places such as Canada? If I buy an iPhone with a bad esn I know it just basically an iPod but will the bad esn (Sprint) be followed when its shipped to Canada and would I be able to use it with a different carrier since there's no sprint in Canada?
  • Can you flash an iPhone 4s to metro pcs? Not an iPhone 4 because I know you can with the iPhone 4 but I'm not sure about the iPhone 4s? If it's possible can you send me a link to where. Please I just got this iPhone.
