MetroPCS? Will this phone (specifically the GT-I9100) even work on their network? I thought they were a CDMA carrier?
EDIT: hold up. You say "about to get Galaxy S2 I9100 switched over to metro"... does this mean you already have the phone and are switching to Metro? Or did you order the phone and are waiting for it to arrive, and plan to switch to Metro?
Your profile says you are on T-Mobile USA. If you ALREADY have a Galaxy SII on T-Mobile, you probably have the SGH-T989.
If you DON'T already have a Galaxy SII, and you've ordered the GT-I9100, and want full use of 3g/"4g", you will HAVE to go to AT&T or H2O, or any other GSM carrier that may be regional to your area that uses the same frequencies as AT&T. Or, you could stick with T-Mobile, but your mobile data speeds will be limited to Edge.
MetroPCS uses completely different cellular transmission technology, and the GT-I9100 will not even pick up a signal on their network for voice, let alone data.
EDIT 2: For that matter, if you have the T-Mobile variant (SGH-T989), that one won't work on Metro either, for the same reason.
Well it's both I'm picking up the phone after work and I plan to get it flashed to Metro. I was told that the phone is the Sprint Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100. I'm doing it for my girl who already has Metro. I have seen other user selling Galaxy S2 already on Metro so I know for a fact that they have the Web & MMS working, I just cant find it for myself! Thanks for the reply by the way!

Who ever told you "Sprint Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100" is wrong. There is no such thing.
The I9100 is the international model that operates on GSM.
If it's from Sprint, they meant the "SPH-D710", not "I9100".
You are better off asking in this forum. Someone there may have experience flashing a Sprint variant to Metro.
It's not very likely that anyone here in the I9100 forums is going to be able to help you, sorry.
I think he posted the wrong model>>>>> What Carrier has Galaxy S2 model I9100???? I think sprint model is Sphd710!
Thanks for the Help!!!!

If he said it's flashable to Metro, then yes, he got the model wrong.
NO carrier in the US carries the I9100. It is the international model. But like I said, it works on AT&T for voice and 3g/"4g" (which is what I'm using), and T-mobile USA for voice and Edge.

Probably. And this isn't the right forum for the ATT Galaxy S2. That's here.
Most AT&T phones will only work on edge for Tmobile. i777(AT&T SGS2) will only work on edge.

Will work, but only on edge. As stated already.
I got as a gift a Galaxy Mega 6.3" (SCH-R960) and its for US Cellular. They don't have coverage or dealers in my area (CA, US) so I need to flash it to work with any other CDMA network. How could I do that?

You could possibly just sim unlock the device and use another carriers sim card

Thanks, but this is a CDMA phone. That can only be done on GSM phones.

unlocking US Cellular Samsung MEGA
All you have to do is go to a US Cellular store and they can unlock the phone for you. However, this limits you to roaming (voice) and 3G (data). Doesn't cost you any more or mess up your service, but lack of 4G is painful. Also note that the MEGA does not have hotspot mode so you can't use its data capabilities for any other machine.
If store won't unlock is still doable to unlock them and sprint phones relatively easy or pretty cheap depending how handy you are

Another noob baptismal ... Here goes ,,, I.may soon be the recipient of a Samsung Galaxy S3 U.S. cellular (SCH-R530) ... Of course its locked and I will also be repairing the screen it looks like.
Currently, I have an SCH-720C (Samsung Proclaim) bought from StraightTalk and running on Verizon towers, completely stock. Since both are CDMA units, will it be possible to unlock the S3 and find a way to use that phone on my straighttalk account?
If so, what will be required? Can I plug and play using the Straighttalk sim?
Thanks for the warm welcome.

Why wouldn't you just buy an international LTE Tab S3? The VZW version is going to have their crap and modifications on it and most likely will be updated 6 months behind an international version if at all. Do you know if the VZW version supports T-Mobile's band 12? The international version doesn't and folks on T-Mobile get 8MB down in those markets that rely on band 12 heavily.
While all of the above is true, VZW devices should be SIM unlocked out of the box due to their block C agreement. The primary band for TMO is band 4 so you should be fine but yes, it is missing band 12 so if you live in a band 12 area, you're possibly giving up some coverage, particularly indoors. I'm in Chicago and since we don't have band 12... Doesn't matter to me.

Does anyone know if they come out of the box unlocked through Verizon? As I also want to use it on my T-Mobile unlimited plane to replace another tablet but buy the tablet through Verizon as it is not offered at T-Mobile.
Postpay Device Unlocking Policy
We do not lock most phones or tablets that are activated with our postpay service, either during or after the term of your service contract or Device Payment Plan installment sales agreement.
We do not lock our 4G LTE devices, and no code is needed to program them for use with another carrier.

In case anyone else was wondering. Found this on Verizons website.
Not to bring up an old post, but the US Cellular S3 is also fully unlocked. I have it running on ATT with just apn modifications
