This is to clear something up... Please read Carefully..
There is a huge difference between flashing and having your phones esn added to MetroPCS.
Flashing your phone does not mean the esn is automaticly added to MetroPCS.
1. Flashing the phone Consists of Modifying the phones settings inorder to work on the MetroPCS network.. This includes modifying the prl settings, wap settings, the mip settings, and the mms settings of your phone.. Just because you change these your self does not mean that metro pcs will automaticly add your esn and your done..
2. ESN adding is done through Houdini.. This is the only legal way to have your esn on MetroPCS. Flashing your phone yourself will not get your esn on metro's network not even if you can dial *228 and get the customer service line.. There is no legal way other than Houdini to add your esn to metros network..
If you take it apon your self to Flash or modify your phone you should realize that you will still have to pay to have your service acquired through metro pcs.. The phone must be Houdini Flashed an allowed to enter Metro's esn data base and billing data base..
