Haha. I could have just bought the International S3 if I wanted the S3. I wanted OUT of Metro but also wanted a new phone. Plus the thought of Google controlling my updates vs Samsung was more appealing as well. 4.2 will be out in a few days

At the end of the day that's all that matters. I've found that everyone uses their phone for different ish. I for one use it for the bare min and mainly for development. I dont play games, watch movies, etc...... I talk very little, text a lot and tinker till the sun goes down. lol.
I've been clamoring this FOR WEEKS when the whole T-mobile merger debacle thing happened and you all ignored me! *sniff*
I've been telling you all, REGARDLESS of what the carriers say, all US/Canada S3s are interchangeable under the hood. SIM/CDMA means no difference for the S3.
Yeah, that phone is a B.E.A.S.T

After reading through the steps involved, it seems simple. Unfortunately it says that you will only get EDGE data speeds here in the U.S. (well, with the Verizon phone, I wonder what will happen with the Metro phone).

verizon and metro are more in common then people think, from my understanding, both are cdma networks, that utilize a uic card for 4G data.

Hmm, this means this phone is a beast, it CAN work on any network. Nice!
Also this means that the phone will work after metro shuts down cdma (even if you didn't find this it would )
The phone has both cdma and GSM radios. So both cdma and GSM networks will work.

I used my friend t-mobile sim for a breif while today and I was able to make calls without even turning it into global. once I put global using phone info, I was able to see 3g pop up on top of my screen .
But I didn't had much time to do much testing tho like browsing or texting etc. I'll try again later with an at&t sim too.

Thanks for testing sir! I am glad its working out. There you have it gentleman so if metropcs decided to screw us over. We have many other carriers to jump to. And btw seems like metropcs 4g is improving in some places well around my house and area its still sh00t.
So you put the tmobile card into the metro s3 is that what you saying?
yes i put t-mobile sim to test out. I also tried at&t last night for a brief while. put my friends att sim and he called his office number and call went through.
But i tried changing to global nd it didnt stick as someone mentioned. Also i didnt have apn set to test out data. I will see if i get a hands on on a att sim for longer time so i can experiment more and confirm the proper working!
But for now it seemed to work
Am i horrible or what?
But yeah, where are you that your speed is still that low?
lol u in tampa too tiede? yea thats about where im at with 4g. but we had some1 in ft.lauderdale get around 11 mbps so perhaps them speeds will continue to spread all over florida.
I dont ask for much, but my friend is going through some rough times,
if you wish to donate to me send it his way, he needs it more than i do Donate here

That was me sadly its only in my work place. But everywhere else I barely get 2 mb. And I hate the fact the texting are always out of order and delayed.
