note 2 / ii t-mobile for metropcs

no they don't

metropcs uses a cdma/lte combo

tmobile uses a gsm/hspa+ combo

the frequencies dont matter, its a totally different network technology

...bottom line is, there is no way to use a tmobile device on metropcs

none will, you would need to hope that samsung releases a version to work with metropcs

which is very unlikely to happen, at least not anytime soon


i did find this
from att

310 380 AT&T AT&T Mobility Not operational GSM 850 / GSM 1900 / UMTS 850 / UMTS 1900

really

what i need to to them, i just spend 600 on a tmobile because o have the wrong information, i will nee to sale this one now and get it a new one from the right carrier to work on metropcs

Supposedly Metro uses 1700/2100 in some cities. However if you're stuck with the phone, you could open an account with Straight Talk or Simple Mobile.

will work 4g on it ???

hows the service

FWIW, a friend of mine just got on it in LA...better service with TMo branded Sensation 4G than with the Virgin service and LG phone before it. But with Simple, you should basically get the same as w/TMo. I get this in the Balt/DC corridor w/TMo:
