Bought an android from Metro Pcs. Although they exchanged it, lots of problems. Can' t use it at all in my own apt. (no signal). It defines my telephone service instead of being a "help" as an adjunct/emergency phone.
Can I use this phone with another service company, like Verizon? Metro Pcs will not answer their own phones, let me exchange for a simpler model, etc.
Hear Verizon is the best here (redlands, ca), then AtT. 70 miles from LA, amazing.

Try Page Plus Cellular dot com. They resell Verizon cellular. You can bring your own phone (most phones), I ported my Droid.
Cell phones and cell service work hand-in-hand. A great phone will not work with poor service. Great service does not work very well iwth poorly designed phones. I have a friend in Dallas who is a reltire telephone systems engineer. He fooled with Metro PCS for well over a year before he dropped it.
I have an iPhone 4 WiFi 3G and Apple Care. In my opinion it is risky to get an iPhone from anyone other than a national carrier because only Apple treats Apple issues wheras Verizon treats all Verizon phone issues except Apple. The same applies to every Apple dealer. AT&T/T-Mobile use the same GMS technology. Verizon and Sprint use CDMA technology. The technology depends upon which national service you can possibly switch to - or IF you can switch.
If no tower is near your apartment no phone will work. Tower signal strength + phone = usage.
Came across this old thread. Had to give up on metropcs
All together. Moved to an apt closer to mntns; only Verizon
Is reliable here. 1 mile away there are more choices.
Bought Iphone 4. Love it's capabities but activating & restoring
Are grueling. Apple sr tech excellent. Found 2 who gave me email
& phone in pity. Overall, aside from the price, can't beat it.
Even sprint rep told me to go w/another carrier when moved
Closer to mntns. They traded in my droid but couldn't use it.
i bought a Samsung android from metro pcs and then went back to verizon can I unlock it to use it on Verizon? I HATED METROS SERVICE!!!
