Iv heard of certain frequencies the phones require to work on certain spots do to tower outputs of frequency.. I desire to know what unlocked imported phones work in Miami FL by the METROpcs wireless phone company.. nokia has an estimate of 15 new unlocked phones… which would work with metro today?

Best answer:

Answer by Psych Department
They do not.

MetroPCS is cheap enough to make sure that ONLY their phones are usable with their service. You can’t use other phones with their service, nor can you use their phones for other services.

It doesn’t matter if it’s unlocked.
MetroPCS doesn’t have SIM cards, and you will not be able to activate your unlocked phone.

Question by vietking2be: How do I start using a new Unlocked cell phone?
This is my situation. I have a current Verizon phone. I now want a new Motorola phone that normally doesn’t provide service to Verizon. It’s an unlocked phone though, so all I have to do is switch the SIM card from my Verizon phone to my new Motorola phone? Is that all it takes?

Best answer:

Answer by df747jet
Verizon doesn’t use SIM cards. Verizon is on the CDMA (Closed Division Multiple Access). Sprint is also CDMA.

Cingular and T-Mobile use SIM cards because they are on the GSM network.

Try taking your phone to T-Mobile or Cingular, it won’t work with Verizon or T-Mobile.
