I know I've seen the G1, Epic, and Hero used on the network but didn't know if the data is usable. So I want to know what phones can be used on Metro Pcs fully.

Is there any one using metro with a good android phone?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Most CDMA phones [Sprint, Not sure about Verizon] can work with MetroPCS. Only problem is, no internet, no picture messaging. If you can deal without that, I suggest getting unlocked Sprint Android Phone and flashing it to Metro.

At&t uses different radio bands for 3g/4g. You will only be able to access the edge network.
So what do u think using the infuse in tmobile? Is it better to just get the phone thats locked to its own carrier.or the sim unlock phone?

Your going to have really slow data. That's the only difference. It will still work just fine just take for ever to use the net and things like that since it will only be on edge. I'd just suggest sticking with a carrier specific phone if your worried about data speeds.
Wat phone from at&t will fully work for tmobile 3g/4g data...

Likely none - I have yet to see an AT&T phone that supported the AWS 3G band that T-Mobile uses.
I don't know if I am putting this in the right place but I have a motorola backflip (temp phone, using a samsung infuse now) and I am wondering how can I unlock it so it can be used with another network? Like T-Mobile because I really want to give it to a friend of mine who is in need of a cell phone but she is on T-Mobile. My Backflip is rooted, and running cyanogen mod 7.1... so with all that done im wondering what can I flash to the device to allow it to work with a T-Mobile sim card?

Dont let me see you type any informational text on here again, Verizon and VM uses CDMA but VM blocks any phone that it attempted to be flashed.

You might be able to esn clone your triumph (or other vm android phone) to a droid x. It's an expensive experiment though. Also, some people believe it's illegal. I personally don't think it's illegal since the rule was in place to prevent people from acquiring someone's cell info and then stealing that victim's service.
Well I have some extra old unactivated sprint phones so Mabey I can swap one with it...

My friend has the Wildfire, which is nice, but 3.2" screen sucks. I need to get him a good phone. So I'm going to buy him one, but which is a good phone to start with and easy to port. I saw the sprint nexus and it looked a little difficult. The evo was a little easier. But im open to any carrier or phone, anyone have good experiences?
I am also interested in porting my phone to metro... I have TMobile gs2 not sure its possible since I have sim tech.

It won't be possible with GSM devices. Only CDMA can be flashed to Metro. Try Simple mobile if you want GSM

OK, so I currently have a wifi aokp ics HTC flyer, iPod touch 3rd Gen jailbroken , hp touchpad dual booted with android and web os, and Samsung fascinate on miui 4 used only with wifi and has no plan of any kind, I bypassed activation. As you can see, I have a large collection of devices but do not have any cellular plans on them at all (my phone is a basic keyboard phone and I can't afford to pay 360 dollar a year data plan upgrade with Verizon, plus I don't want to worry about going over on data and being charged more). That being said, I want to try wp7 but don't know which devices I can use without a plan of any kind and just on wifi. Could someone clarify for me what my options are, if there are any, I have Googled it for a while without luck. Any help is appreciated, and thanks in advance! just a note though, I asked specifically about the HTC arrive and dell venue pro before because of the keyboard, but they didn't seem confident in their own forums. Again, thanks!

I'm not talking about putting it on Verizon, I just said that was my carrier for my keyboard phone, no wishes to replace it. I just want to try wp7 in general and use it not as a phone but WIFI ONLY, like an iPod touch. I want no plan of any kind. This is possible on some androids, I've done it on the fascinate. So I just wanted to know my options.

Are you sure? If that's true, how do you bypass the cellular activation screen and go on with using wp7? There was a method to it with the fascinate, and you could simply hit the home button once on a custom from. Is this the case for wp7 too? Or are any unlock codes needed to do this? If there is a custom rom of wp7 for a phone, is it safe to assume it can be used without a plan of any kind?

Hey I hate to repost, but want to find out what windows phones I can buy to try wp7 without a plan. Oh, and I'm not interested in wp8 yet since phones will be expensive and don't know what wp7 is
