Does it need an initial activation to Metro PCS or could I just straight unlock it overseas with a code? Would there be any problems later on?

This is the Metro edition of the F3 locked to the Metro/T-Mobile USA network. Its 4G LTE radio is designed for the USA.

If you don't have virgin mobile then Yes you have to take the steps on activating it. But If you have virgin mobile it's easier.

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

It is not unlocked, it comes with a SIM card for Metro PCS which is owned by T-Mobile but I don't know if their systems are compatible.

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."

That should not be a problem. This one is unlocked, so you will own it outright and can either add it to your account (to replace an existing hotspot for instance) or do a pay as you go plan. That said, expect to have to take it to your local Verizon corporate store for assistance moving everything. I tried to activate mine online (pay as you go for travel), but had some issues and ended up taking it into the store and they took care of it no problem.

Yes, it's a Metro PCS phone. Even though it doesn't have the logo externally, it comes with the Metro PCS apps pre-installed. Something you might want to know, is that this phone is totally GSM. After 3 months of using it, you can request Metro PCS the unlocking codes to unlock it and use it with any other carrier you choose. That's a great improvement from Metro.

It should since Metro-PCS uses the T-Mobile network but you will have to get it carrier-unlocked first, of course.

You want to make sure its a factory unlocked version which the c6833 is. The international version is good if you travel outside the US. Look up your cell providers APN code from on Google and enter it in the APN under settings to activate Lte and Internet connection . I have Metro Pcs and had no issues. Every thing works great.

It is unlocked for any GSM NETWORK WORLDWIDE. Tested with T-Mobile, Simple Mobile & AT&T SIM cards & it worked perfectly. Not sure about metro pcs. Thanks

Yes as long as Metro PCS has servicing centers there or you can ask your local wal-mart if they can activate it through straight talk which is unlimited for $45 a month. Just make sure you are sent the right color I chose the red phone in the picture and was sent a black one:-(

yes once it's completely unlock. because when i was ready to connect my phone to metro it wasn't completely unlock, i had to someone $40 to unlock it.

There are instructions provided on the cover. You have to activate the SIM only via those steps. I made the mistake of activating it by calling the customer care and I lost my 39$.
