Well yea those two are your other options. I would say the s4 out of those two. They should be fairly cheap now

Now that I'm picking up an S5 for T-Mobile, me and my wife are considering unlocking my S3 so she can use it on Metro which she has. Would this work alright then? Considering Metro is using T-Mobile's network

Anything tmobile branded that is not blacklisted can be used on metro without unlock.

Nexus 4, 5, 6
Note 2, 3, 4
Galaxy S4, S5
Huawei Ascend Mate 2
Huawei Ascend Mate 7
Oppo Find 7
One Plus One
Moto X
Moto G

Those are the top choices in my book.

However I would strictly go ONLY with phones that have the 700mhz Band 12 LTE antenna.

Which is the Note 4, ZTE Zmax, and Sony Z3.

That would be waaaayy to many phones this thread can become that thread, have a mod or guide come and sticky it. But I personally feel it would be redundant due to us having a byod thread with the required bands, and a tmobile older sister thread.

We should just try to educate them on what works and what doesnt

Sounds like a good idea! And i have a quick question if my phone is missing 1700 frequncie how do you think the service will be? Will i still get service like 4g ??

It's been in the MetroPCS guide/faq sticky since I created it last year. Under the 2nd one: bands and phone compatibility
