Hello All!
This is probably a frequently asked question, I guess. Using an unlocked phone on a network that has 4G and trying to benefit from it. I have a Samsung Galaxy Relay 4G (unlocked, T-Mobile branded), that, I'd like to use on Metro PCS. As an aside, my wife wanted to subscribe to the service, nuff said!! Anyway, after chatting online with one of the Metro reps(???), I came away with the impression, that, my phone may or may not work on their network (4G, that is). I'm quite perplexed by all of this. Since I read that Metro PCS operates on T-Mobile's network. I guess in the long run, that, doesn't mean much. I guess what I'm asking is, in order to receive 4G service, do you have to acquire a device from the carrier offering the service? Have limitations been put on unlocked devices, in a way that they can't use 4G, because it wasn't purchased from that particular carrier? If someone can enlighten me on this, I'd surely appreciate it! All this hoo-ha, I just may go back to talk & text! Thanks!!
