Does Gsm Unlocked Work with Metropcs

GSM unlocked phones will work with Metropcs because the telecommunications service provider shut down its CDMA network. Metro PCS recently adopted a new name, which is Metro by T-Mobile, or just Metro; offers consumers prepaid wireless services and is owned by T-Mobile.

The above then means that Metro, uses the T-Mobile’s GSM network, and if you, therefore, have an unlocked T-Mobile, or AT and T phone that operates on the GSM networks, then all you have to do is get a Metro SIM card and you can exploit their services.

Metro PCS bring your own device program

The Metro PCS bring your own device program is designed to embrace a wider clientele; interested individuals can, therefore, bring their unlocked Android, iPhone, or windows phone. Important to note is that you cannot bring a tablet, a blackberry phone, and the hotspots to Metro PCS; so for individuals who want to bring thier phones to metro and still retain thier contacts, messages, and photos they must engage the three-step switching process.

Users will therefore, ensure that their phones are unlocked, and if not sure of the phone status, they can get confirmation from their current carrier. The second step would be to check for compatibility on the Metropcs website, a user must, however, retrieve their IMEI number either by dialing x#06# or check under their battery or in the settings application.

They will then input the IMEI on the provided dialogue box, and wait for the confirmation results. Once they get the confirmation that their phone is compatible, they will then proceed to get the Metro PCS SIM card and make the switch by activating the card online.

The online activation tool has been configured to activate the phone service plans only, users who, therefore, want to activate other devices such as their mobile hotspot devices, or tablets, or the metro start ride, they can do that via the phone number provided above. Remember that we said Metro by T-Mobile allows you to retain your current content and number, so for the above, you must remember to have with you, your current carrier’s account number and pin.
