Why doesn't this work with Verizon, Sprint, or MetroPCS?

Hi Victoria, this mobile phone doesn't work with Verizon, Sprint or MetroPCS because this mobile use GSM, which is the method that use sim cards.Verizon and the other companies use CDMA that is a totally different standard that doens't use sim cards and therefor is not compatible with GSM.

Metro pcs now linked with t mobile so they support sim cards and have a bring your own phone deal and will set you up :)

It only works on gsm carrier if you are in the us, the carriers would be T-Mobile,AT&T;,Net10, not on CDMA carriers such as Verizon or Sprint. Hope this helps.

Sorry, I don't know much about Sprint, but if you have a GSM unlocked phone and sim card then it should work. If you are locked into a contract, Sprint may not allow you to do this.

I believe this one is only for ATT. There is another one specific to Verizon but I'm not sure that there is one specifically for Sprint.

It depends on the area of service and if the service offers 4G service. If so, then, it should work. Contact metro pcs first.

Looks like this is for Verizon, not Sprint. Mine worked on Verizon since it is described as a Verizon phone.

I bought this for my father. I believe it does work on Verizon towers; he has great coverage, and around here Sprint does not work well at all.

Sprint uses CDMA and this is a GSM phone so it will not work with the standard Sprint service. It should work with AT&T and T-mobile or any other GSM Sim card.

NO, I just found out and wanted to share with others that the protocol used for Verizon & Sprint uses CDMA, while AT&T; & T Mobile use GSM. So the phones hardware communicates to the cell tower differently. :(

This phone uses a SIM card. That means it is a GSM phone which will work in most countries of the world. In the U.S. it works on AT&T;, T-Mobile, and their Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) such as Consumer Cellular. This phone will NOT work on either Verizon & Sprint because those csrriers use CDMA technology phones which are _always_ locked to one particular carrier.

Nope. US carriers use different technologies for their wireless network. It MAY work on Sprint's 3G because they use the same technology as Verizon. But that depends on the frequencies, or "bands" that the phone uses and that Sprint uses. I don't know off the top of my head, but I could do some digging for you.

If it is GSM unlocked it won't work with Verizon., boost mobile, sprint or any CDMA network

I do not think it will work with verizon because it requires a cim card to operate.

From what I've found out, it will work with AT&T;, Verizon (which is who I'm with), T-mobile, Page Plus, Straight Talk . I'm not sure about Sprint or Virgin mobile. It's a SIM card phone, so you shouldn't have any issues.
