Yeah, but when you use Blackberries and smartphones, isnt it watered down? They dont let you use SMS/MMS or internet with a Verizon phone, right?

 

[nycknicks105]

Can you use an unlocked iPhone with this service?

Its garbage.
I sold it for my boy who owned a multi carrier store and about a 10% return rate.
The service is horrible in apartments, some houses, and anywhere that is not covered it turns into prepay @ 19 cents a minute. Unless you stay in the big city all the time is not good.
You can sell the crap out of them with the price point but its not worth it with all the complaints and returns that come back.

Cop a verizon blackberry & then have it unlocked. Then use it for metro pcs if you want since Verizon and Metro pcs don't use sim cards. I know this cause I had my boy do this and it worked.
It works on Metro, but FYI my verizon blackberry storm has a SIM card brotha, as well as my gf's Tour.

I believed a AT&T sim card in a Sprint Touch Pro 2 worked before

Metro pcs doesn't flash phones for the NY market

if you're always around a major city then its fine. I go hunting/fishing out in the cuts, I can't bring a phone that might or might not get signal just in case I get stuck.

As much as people clown this phone company, my reps and district ARs are former sprint employees. This is a very big and successful company make big changes this year. They're going 4G Internet speeds this summer and coming with a nice line up of phones. Yea sometimes the reception is bad but it's getting better. You can use a Sprint or Verizon blackberry on Metro but it has to be flashed and unlocked first. It's not beneficial if it doesn't have wifi though.

One of my uncles has been with metro for about 3-4 years and the service never fails.

Yep, I have it and sometimes I receive text messages hours later. I live in So Cal BTW.

I went to Vegas, no service.
I went to Big Bear, no service. Other friends with AT&T and Verizon had service.
Go inside some clubs or bars in my own town, no service.

I mean if you have to, it's not going to ruin your social life, but there are moments like on the weekend where it could mess your night up. Say if a girl text messages you somethin and you don't get it til later.. it just would blow.

As far as calling and receiving calls, the reception is fine.

The no service in certain areas is a huge negative as well as getting text messages hours later [which doesn't happen regularly, but happens enough to where I get upset].
