Can I use my Straight Talk iPhone and switch to MetroPCS as my new carrier? - 1

Yes.

Metro PCS runs on the T-Mobile Network. I did some research on Straight Talk, and their phones actually are built to access that network plus others.

You will need to get that iPhone unlocked so it can be registered for use by other carriers. And you'll need to get a Metro PCS SIM card installed into it.

Once you get it unlocked, walk into any Metro PCS store, and they'll fix you up.

I have to ask though. Assuming you want a plan with 5GB of data, Straight Talk has a better price than MetroPCS, and arguably better network coverage. Why switch?
