Can I connect my sprint iPhone to metropcs?

I bought a used iPhone4s on ebay, it's carrier used to be sprint but it doesn't have a contract with them anymore, I want to connect it to metropcs for a cheaper plan, but i don't know if i can because it's an iphone, can they swtich my carriers? How much do they charge?

No - the only way to use your Sprint iPhone though any other carrier would be through what's known as a MiFi Device. Unfortunately, Metro PCS does not offer Wireless Broadband Services, like MIFi yet. However, Since Virgin Mobile also uses the Sprint Network, youmight be able to do an activation only through Virgin Mobile.

Here is an article that might help you understand MiFi and Crating a Wireless HotSpot for your Iphone that travels with you.
