Can I switch an AT&T iPhone to MetroPCS?
My friend is planning on selling her iphone to me once she gets a new one, but it's an AT&T phone and I've heard of issues about some phones not being able to switch carriers? Can I get a simple answer for this?
It just needs to be unlocked that's all
Your friend gets the phone unlocked, BEFORE she leaves AT&T. Otherwise YOU pay a cellphone unlocking service to unlock the phone.
Once you take the phone to MetroPCS, you ask for their current APN settings, enter them in the correct menu on your phone, and MMS and data will work properly for that phone on their service.
Maybe a little tricky. Metro is a CDMA network though it was recently purchased by T-Mobile which is GSM, like AT&T.
May depend on the iPhone in question as well.
- Why does my iPhone switch from metropcs to t-mobile sometimes? I was on my iPhone and suddenly my phone switched carriers from metropcs to tmobile but my phone still has internet working. What do you think happened?! This is weird! It happens rarely but sometimes it will happen so fast and even alternate between the two for sometime
- If I buy an iphone can metropcs service go on it? Right now I have metropcs service, and their phone. It kinda looks like a blackberry… But I really want an iphone… So my question is if I buy an iphone from best buy, then take it to metropcs, can they put the service on my phone?
- Can you connect a verizon iPhone 4s to metropcs? I just got a friend's old verizon iPhone 4s, and was wondering if i could connect it to metro pcs since i already have a line with metro. I wanted to know if anybody has ever done it or know someone who has?
- Can I use a unlocked iphone 5s on metropcs? Like if I bought a unlocked iphone 5s from apple store will I be able to put the metropcs sim card in it and use it on metropcs network.
