   I found this site with very detailed instructions for flashing your PPC6700/xv6700 to Metro PCS. It includes instructions for changing your ESN and for getting on Metro Web.

   Hi, this is a great service but i just can’t believe that they can figure out software for phone service and texting but not mms or internet.. i’m sure they will roll it out in the 1st quarter of ’09 fir another $40! anyway, i had the instinct for sprint flashed to metro pcs, has ANYONE out there figured out how to get internet access and/or mms on that phone??

   I currently have service with metro pcs and i hace 2 phones flashed. A month ago one quit working and now today the other one. I looked on Metro’s site and these phones are no longer able to be flashed. I called tech support and they informed me that there is an issue with the phones that i have. That i have to take them to the store. I have 2 motorola phones an IC502 and IC402. This sucks.

    I have a LG VX8300 and am considering having it flashed with MetroPCS. What exact features can you get & cant get ??? I would like to have mms, sms, mobile web, pix messaging, the whole works. Will they allow it for the LG VX8300????

    Also, What does UNLOCKED/LOCKED mean? I bought my phone from Walmart instead of from Verizon.

    Thanks

    I’m planning on leaving Sprint, but I want the Samsung Rant 2 be my parting gift. can MetroPCS flash that phone? does it being EV-DO effect the flashing process?

    I understand that Metro PCS will flash cdma phones. They provide the model number of the phones that you can buy to flash over to their service on their website however when I went to the website of the different carriers to find the models they suggested I couldn’t find that many. How can I compare models and compatibiliy? I want to buy a phone other than the phones they sell at Metro for my daughter. She talks alot so Metro’s the only way to go!! Can anyone help me out there!! Thanks

    The Sidekick is a GSM phone, it cannot be used on CDMA carriers like MetroPCS.

    I heard a radio commercial that they are flashing most carriers, not just sprint and verizon anymore.

    Lois, MetroPCS can only flash compatible CDMA phones. While they could flash Cricket and MVNO devices, the vast majority of phones that are supported by MetroFlash are just Sprint and Verizon.

    Any CDMA phone can be flashed to Metro PCS but you may need to another place if your phone is not listed cause of the limitations of the sodtware Metro use.Go to Craiglist or ebay a search people do it for around $40.There is a couple of models that can use intenet,picture msg,text and all the stuuf metro phones do, but again some models only.

    Marlon Bradley February 15, 2009 at 11:37 pm | Permalink

    This is a grat idea…too bad most of the phones on this list aren’t exactly the hottest phones on the market. I could do a lot better if they added some models that people want to carry.

    I have a HTC Touch phone that has been flashed to Metro Pcs service and everything except for SMS works. The internet works just fine. I wish that the SMS would work. If anyone knows how i could get the SMS working please let me know. I bought the phone on ebay from some guy who had already flashed it.
