I have a Galaxy s6 from Verizon on Metro PCS network. I have noticed people who have a Metro PCS phone get service in areas I don't and Im assuming this is due to the fact I am unable to update my PRL being as it still is running on stock Verizon firmware. Is there a manual way to update my prl or a rom that will work on my verizon phone that is set up for metro pcs? Ive searched all over to no avail!!!

Will my phone get service if I manually use a tmobile prl? I have a sprint galaxy s2, flashed to metro pcs. but it seems only tmobile gets service where I live.
Will this actually work?
At work today, in a Walmart Connection Center, I tried out an AT&T sim and a Verizon branded sim in one of the LTE compatible Straight Talk devices (Galaxy Core Prime) that uses Verizon's towers. I thought it was interesting to know that the requirement for Verizon LTE phones to be carrier unlocked also applies to MVNOs. I have yet to try and activation of such devices with another carrier, but the cards worked just fine. I suspect that Verizon will have the IMEIs blacklisted, but that's just speculation. If anyone has tried this, I am curious now if they would activate them.
I'm using a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge on Cricket that uses ATT network
Hello,
my provider is NET10. They support GSM,CDMA, and LTE. I am trying to find a Samsung Gala5y S5 to use at my provider, but I can only find versions for Sprint, T-Mobile, ATT, or Verizon. Sprint, T-Mobile, ATT show that they use only GSM and Verizon CDMA.
Does anyone know what I have to look for on the Galaxy S5 to use all networks (GSM,CDMA, and LTE) ?
Thank you
First step would be to verify with net 10 they are a GSM carrier if I am correct. This being said you could not use Verizon GS5. This would leave sprint to mobile AT&T I would verify with someone who is using one of those devices on NET 10. Sorry I am not more help as I have a Verizon GS5 but hopefully it is a start!
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.

Hello, I have a few questions about using a Metro PCS S7 on the T-Mobile network. Can I get the following?
Advanced Messaging
VoLTE
Band 12 LTE
T-Mobile Wi-Fi Calling
What other features would I miss out? Metro PCS pushes out the updates, so I would be expecting Android N much later than everyone else? Anything else I should know? Thanks.
