If I already have a phone on with metro PCS and were to get this one, can I just add this phone as like an upgrade/replacement to the phone I have?

Yes you can. I went on to the metro site and entered my phone number and the switch was pretty straight forward. Just had to type in the serial number of the new phone and there was no charge. If you go to a MetroPCS store they charge $15

I had already had a phone on metro pcs they help me activate the phone and keep the number i already had, there was no charge any of that and i like this phone a lot... and i do not have to pay more a month i pay 40.00 bucks all the bells and whistles because i live in a place that wi-fi is everywhere so i never hit a data problem either. So they will treat it like a replacement or upgrade. I hope this helps!

yes you can just switch it out on your existing account! i bought one for my son and if you call in to change it over they wont charge you. They charge if you go in the store to do it.

You have to actually call metro pcs and tell them that you want to switch phones and they will just ask you for emei number of your phone and the numbers on your sim card and within 20 minutes you'll have service on your phone

the one we bought was for Metro PCS, but I believe they also sell one for Virgin Mobile.

I am not sure about the Metro PCS compatibility part but it does have a SIM card.

If you bought the CDMA version, get a refund and buy the new GSM version from the MetroPCS website. Metro plans are superior to Straight Talk.

Well I brought this when I didn't have a phone cause my phone broke, but when i brought this phone and brought to vierzon store they accepted it, but I think they can, and if anything you could just call/visit a verizon store and ask them if they are willing to add it your existing one.

YES, but you must take the phone to Metro PCS to converted the IMEI to Metro , And they might charge you a fee do that.

Actually that is the phone I have. There is no difference between the "t-mobile" and the "metro pcs" since they are the same company now.

Unfortunately no. It is locked and can only be used by Metro PCS or T-Mobile while it is locked.

No you can only use the Metro PCS SIM Card. Now if you try to get it unlock/jailbroken its goig to run really slow.

No. The listing is for an AT&T; device only. You need an unlocked iPhone to work on Metro PCS. Most AT&T; iPhones can be unlocked by third parties but it's only safe to assume that it's unlocked if it specifically says "Unlocked."

I would bring the phone to the wireless carrier you are with. Since this is an unlocked phone they would need to setup your network . I had verizon and bought this phone to use on metro pcs they had to port the phone with verizon since I wanted to keep my same number. I hope this helped a little.

Yes you can. I did just that. When you get the phone take it to metro store and they will help you set it up. It takes 5 mins real simple.

The plan you are capable of is up to your Carrier. We recommend contacting your Carrier and making sure what sort of plans they have available for this model phone.

but that doesn't make sense. why would they offer a option to upgrade (existing service) if you can't keep your old number?...isn't that just like starting new service? why would keeping your Verizon number not be considered "porting" and thus not void the rebate? doesn't sound right. maybe the csr got his/hers info crossed.

Hi,I am also wanting to upgrade 3 phones and obviously have a family plan. When I try to buy this, it is forcing me to take a plan also for each phone, which I do not want. Any ideas if I will be able to keep my existing plan. I called up Cingular and they had no clue. Amazon says that they will cancel the plans that I am buying.Also will I be eligible for the Cingular and Amazon rebates.
