Since Metro PCS recently rolled out a bring your own phone plan you can now activate Verizon's iPhones greater than the 4s on their network (you cannot use the 4 since it doesn't have a sim card slot/gsm antenna).

Here's how to do it:

  1. Head over to Bring Your Own Phone | Nationwide 4G Coverage | No Contract | MetroPCS
  2. Select your phone from the list. If the specific model isn't listed just choose something similar
  3. Confirm the IMEI/MEID
  4. Your phone is already unlocked from Verizon
  5. Continue to follow the prompts to activate service


Notes:
  • You will probably not get 4g LTE speeds
  • You may have to change your APN settings on the phone to get data and mms messaging


Here is how to change the APN settings:

main menu -> Settings-> General Settings -> Network ->Turn ON Cellular Data
Select Cellular Network -> new APN


Type the following data:

APN: internet
