Metro pcs BYOD

[OcalaFlGuy]

I just took a swing thru Fleabay.

Good shape Spirits have gone for $165 recently and anyone can hook one of those up to their existing number for nothing. No tax or activate.

Even for just the next year and half that's a lot of phone for that money.

That's about what I paid for mine After the rebate.

Just curious, I thought this discussion was about BYOD. Isnt the Lg spirit cdma?

LG Spirit is CDMA.

BYOD means bring your own device from another carrier.

In this case it will most likely be GSM devices only that will be allowed to be brought to MetroPCS.

Any MetroPCS phones already branded MetroPCS can still be brought in today. This BYOD makes no difference for CDMA devices already on MetroPCS.

I guess Ocalaflguy picked a random discussion on the forums to tell us about his ebay adventures looking at a metropcs "spirit" phone.. Lol

I was being awnry, trying to point out what i thought that he was posting info that didnt pertain to the original post BYOD discussion. Lol

My other BYOD question is when they refer to an unlocked phone they refering that it has no attached carrier?

Next ? If I insert a soon to be Metro BYOD sim into a still locked At&t phone, will it work but just still have At&t logo ?

 

[OcalaFlGuy]

No, not random at all.

But posted here with a reason apparently above Your level of consciousness .

Ok any phone that is branded t mobile will work with any carrier that runs on t mobile towers, Usually. Same goes for Att. When you put a sim, say from t mobile into a locked att phone a screen will pop up saying sim card locked, enter unlock code. and until you can enter that code the phone will not work on that network.

First, what he was saying is the byod is not always the best option.... If you have to buy a gsm phone. Since most on Metro will already have cdma phones and the cdma is not going away for about 2 years you can pick up a good spec'd phone cheap probably because all the new gsm adopters will be selling off their old phones and flooding the market. Now if you already own the gsm phone thats another story completely.

I put a smile face too and a LOL. Just trying to tease a little. I went overboard I guess.

Just tried to stir things up a little. No harm

i totally agree with the concept

Perzactimondo! <Clap!Clap!Clap!>

The unspoken thoughts were that unless you have 5-6 large burning a hole in your thong pocket that when you can get a decent shape Spirit for $165 that will be fine for about another year + half, it almost doesn't matter What the BYOD deals (for less than Top Shelf units) are, None of them are better than the Spirit for that money.

What about a nice tmobile used galaxy s2 I seen them for $180 I think that will make sense to bring over to be use on byod

 

[SwoRNLeaDejZ]

Hopefully metro will do a better job with their BYOD program than Net10 does... Their system is terrible, tried to setup a phone for my girlfriend and it was a giant pile headaches, i will never do that again...

the camera is cut down from 13 to 8, teh screen is changed from samoled hd to lcs. other than that its the s4, just ruggedized.

the issue most will face is att's devices dont use all the bands tmo does so you could be stuck on 2g if you arent careful abotu what devices you snag up

There is one problem with the S2, For a metro customer No LTE.
If it wasnt for that it would be perfect great specs and price that is hard to beat, hell HSN even has it +case and charger for $199, 5 payments of $40 or so.

I think the problem with net10 is the apn, I had no trouble setting up a att galaxy note for my dad on net 10. I created an apn with the info they provided when I registered the account and it works no problem.

The phone I tried to register for my girl was an t-mobile Sony xperia ion, and it was a total nightmare. No apn settings made a difference, took 3 days to get everything resolved and get the phone operational. Still to this day she will have random instances where the service drops out and she has to reboot, or at least toggle airplane to get Service back.. If she didn't love the phone itself so much it would probably be in a landfill by now

There is no way to tell, well at least that is what the foreign lady on the phone said... After 45 minutes trying to explain what was going on to her, i asked to speak to a supervisor. I was put on hold for five minutes then the SAME LADY picked the phone up and said "this is the supervisor". At that point I realized how useless it was speaking to net10 on the phone...

 

[new optimus]

I dont know much about the phone but when you go to network list it should show tmobile or att.
