IPhone 5 carrier name from T-Mobile to Metro PCS?

I have activated an iphone 5 with Metro PCS, I had previously been using an iPhone 4 here as well…
I noticed that when inserting the SIM card, my carrier name would say T-Mobile, but then switch to saying Metro Pcs.
With the iPhone 4 it would always stay as
T-Mobile.
Why does this happen? Does this change anything? Can I make it stay as T-Mobile?

Likely part of the merger and maybe your closest to a tower that was PCS

  • Will I get a free iPhone 6s if I switch from another carrier to Metro PCS? I'm a Cricket Wireless customer, thinking about switchi g to Metro. If I switch will they give me a free iPhone?
  • Which is better Metro PCS or T-Mobile new plan? Metro PCS-Samsung Galaxy S3 with $60 plan T-Mobile-Iphone 5 16GB with unlimited 4G data plan monthly payment
  • Metro Pcs 4 lines for 100 and T-Mobile? I currently have the 4 lines for 100 with metro pcs but i want to get an iphone 6, and i believe Metro can't run on them if they arent unlocked (?) and i don't want to pay extra cash for it. So, i was wondering if having one iphone run with tmobile but yet still keeping the plan would be possible? (Given that metro runs on tmobile and they both are offering that plan) thanks. Ps I live in Los Angeles. I don't know if ig matters but yeah.
  • Is iPhones better with boost Mobile or metro PCS? I currently have a ZTE pro from metro PC s I want a iPhone but everybody say get a iPhone from boost Mobile because the service is better. But my sister says service from metro is better. What do you guys think?
