So I just purchased a verizon s6 and I currently have service with metro pcs I want to use my metro pcs service on the Verizon s6 but I'm not sure if the Verizon phone is GSM unlocked I have tried these following steps
When I try to make my Galaxy S6 work on the MetroPCS network it does not work. I already tried changing the APN settings as follows:
Name: Metro PCS
APN: fast.metropcs.com
MMSC: http://metropcs.mmsmvno.com/mms/wapenc
All other settings were kept at default and it still did not work. I put in the SIM card, change the settings and I have no service or data.
I am currently using a Unlocked Tmobile Note 3 on Metro Pcs and everything seems to work fine on that phone.
What am I doing wrong??
Yes it's unlocked "thanks to google" using mine with simple mobile on tmoble network.
Try global mode. And check here.

Thank you for the reply I know I'm a little late seeing this response but I will try to do this later on today and let you know how it works out
Just to confirm I have everything working using a Verizon s6 on metro and didn't require any effort other than apn and esn settings changed

I had the same problem using a Verizon galaxy s6 on metro and fix it
Was able to fix it after adding apm as follow
Name
Metro pcs
APN
fast.metropcs
MMSC
metropcs.mmsmvno.com/mms/wapenc
And the most important thing that did the trick
APN type
default,mms,supl
I tried your fix and my s6 won't connect. It connects sometimes to 2g, then I got lte. However it won't do it again. Any help

KJ, what APN settings are you using? I went through half a dozen before I finally got the right ones. Also, any idea what the exact model of the phone is?
I used the more popular ones, I think.
apn
wap.cingular
[email protected]
Wireless.cingular.com
I've found by selecting the other carriers in the connection setup some things start to work.
How do I get the model #?
It's is sim free from UK. No branding but behaves as if its branded
What apn worked for you for windows 8 and at&t 3G?
Search doesn't work consistently on mobile 3G on at&t. Not happy with purchase.
T-mo works well but using 4G t-mo service. No issues.
Try this one;
MMS APN
Access Point Name: pta
WAP Gateway (URL): proxy.mobile.att.net
WAP Gateway port: 80
MMSC address: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
To find the model number go to Settings>About and it's under phone information.
The problem with the unlocked phones is that even though they are unlocked, they still have the original carrier firmware and as far as I know, there are only a couple of models that you can flash with a stock HTC rom. You may be in luck since it is a European model. You can take a look at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2137556.
Anyway, good luck to you. It's a great phone.

Got a unlocked att s3 its unlocked trying to get 4g lte from t mobile on here what are some good fast apn settings I live In So-cal
I have an unlocked Droid Ultra (not rooted, stock). I have Metro PCS (and Verizon). When I insert the Metro PCS SIM, I am unable to add an APN. When I boot without the SIM, I am able to add an APN but I can't save the new entry. With this SIM, the APN list is blank.
Currently the phone randomly loses voice and E/H/H+ with the Metro PCS SIM.
When I put in the Verizon SIM, the APN info is added automatically.
Is there a way to add an APN so I can keep a steady connection?
You should look at the thread on the ultra on other carriers. You will have issues on metro/Tmobile but you can work around most of them.

hi i few days ago i manage to unlock my sprint galaxy s5 to use it on claro pr network, i can make calls and text but the data is 3g and the multimedia message are not working and i had the apns configured, someone have the same issue with att or tmobile? if not how you can have lte thanks.
are the apns sticking? sometimes people have issues with the apn actually staying in the settings
Heads up for anyone who uses this phone. I got a couple of these unbranded open market 2g/16gb model 2005-5 via the Visible deal a while ago and tried to activate on Tello and Textnow. Bottom line, the phone will activate but it WILL NOT have LTE speed data. This effectively makes the phone useless to utilize with the TextNow free talk and text plan. It CAN be used with Tello as long as you are good with talk and text and ~128kbps data speed. The funny thing about this entire issue is that the phone works FINE with Sprint proper! Talk/Text/Data all function on Sprint but WILL NOT function on a Sprint MVNO. I have a feeling that this is probably due to APN programming issues (which cannot be done on a stock ROM) It seems the phone is setting a 1x default APN vs the proper MVNO LTE APN. Consultation with Tello Customer Service reveals that this has been an on-going issue for at least 3 months with no ETIC on the horizon. Lastly, if you are wondering WTH I am trying to use the phone on a Sprint MVNO, let me tell you Tello is hands down a great deal, provided you have good Sprint coverage in your local area.
Thanks for the heads up. I've been fighting with mine trying to get LTE all day. Guess I'm going back to my Galaxy S5.
No ETIC
I've gone direct to Lenovo with the issue and after comprehensive troubleshooting and banter back and forth there is no solution to using a moto E6 on a sprint MVNO due to the APN programming issue. The phone will work fine on big Sprint proper but you will suffer degraded or completely unusable LTE function if you activate this phone on a Sprint MVNO for the foreseeable future. All this could easily be solved IF a custom ROM for the e6 could be made wherein it allows the APN settings to be set manually. As with the Moto E 2015 you can activate the phone on an MVNO with the stock rom and then flash the custom rom and manually set the APN to get LTE speed.
Just bought a Moto E6 from Visible. Pop in a 516TQ SIM and I got service. I didn't test the speed but it seems fine with LTE logo.
If I put in the Visible SIM (uses Verizon) or T-Mobile SIM, I can see and change VPN. But with the Tello SIM, the APN cannot be changed. There is simply no manual for APN. However, data is still programmed properly and I can make phone calls and use data. I guess this is fixed from the network side. Now I am wondering if this is also fixed on Moto E4 from Boost.

I also have E6 and also was wondering if its compatible with Tello.... How are you using it on Tello if only Verizon CDMA frequencies are supported? Also, are you using Tello SIM or Sprint SIM?
I am currently using Samsung S4-L720 with Sprint SIM on Tello. It activated and works without a glitch. I wanted to switch to Motorola e6 but tello website says E6 is not compatible with Sprint Sim (which is what currently use on tello) . Do I need to buy some dedicated Tello Sim then?

While Visible uses Verizon network, the E6 sold by Visible is a factory unlocked phone that works with all 4 major providers.
I used a Sprint SIM SIMOLW516TQ ("D" SIM). I got it some time back for $1 (4 SIMs pack) from Amazon.
