| | Metro PCS help...
So im leaving T-Mobile as an employee so I will be changing carriers to MetroPCS to try and save some money. Heres my issue, im not giving up my bb but I heard that 1. you cant flash a 9700 to Metro, 2. if you have any unlocked bb like lets say a tour or a 9650 that BBM will not work on Metro, basically unless you get the 8530 you cant have BBM, everything else will work just not that.
Can anyone disprove this rumor???

Can anyone disprove this rumor??? | I can do fully flash your blackberry OTA ( connecting to ur computer and doing everything while u just sit back and watch ) with ESN add to metropcs.
TALK , TEXT , INTENET , MMS ( picture messaging )
Instant activation....
I work with my own software and all you need is connect your phone to your computer via the USB cable.

You cannot use a 9700 on MetroPCS or any other CDMA carrier's network. CDMA does not use SIM cards. The 9700 will only work on T-Mobile, AT&T, or regional carriers like Cincinnati Bell.
CDMA carriers usually will not activate CDMA devices that are branded to other carriers. So you will need to purchase a new device, branded to MetroPCS, to have full functionality.

Thanks | You cannot flash a GSM-only device to a CDMA network. The hardware (radios) are incompatible.

You can activate other CDMA phones on other networks by FLASHING them over..
