Thanks very much for this guide. I saw that someone put up a similar guide for boost mobile and imo these should be stickies. Right now my "almost unlimited" plan is like 70 bucks for unlimited data and more minutes than I'll ever use. Boost is 50 bucks and metro is 40 bucks. So if someone is willing to do the work, they can save themselves like 30 bucks a month. Or more, depending on plan. That's a nice chunk of change.

Do you know of any downsides to this? I know sprint's tech support is surprisingly good (if you ask for the level 2 techs... I know, I know, we're all supposed to be phone nerds and be able to fix everything ourselves) ...what happens with the insurance via asurion? Is your phone no longer covered if you drop it or brick it somehow? Any other pitfalls? I've seen guys complain they got stuff working on boost, then a week or two later it stopped. Any danger of that with metroPCS?
