I have been seeing signs for metroPCS in my area for $40 unlimited text and phone, how much is the internet package? Limits? Did you sign a contract? Speeds? evdo? rev. a?

i tried to connect it by dialing *228 and they asked me for my esn and they say it has to be only # but my esn has # and letters

[stifiling]

there is no stock metropcs rom....metropcs doesn't sell pda's yet.

I have the 45 plan, unlimited internet is $ 5 a month, but internet for metropcs users is supposed to be just a simple thing that simple nokias or Rzrs can access, not full downloads, google maps, and other stuff we do with our phones. but it works , thanks to posts here with proxy and #777 stuff that i dont know whats called. No contracts, pay by month, 1X speed ( i dont know how different it is from EVDO or 3G ) i never had an internet phone till now.... It's kind of slow, but its good for me. The other day I used the Internet sharing program with my laptop and downloaded something @ 17kbps! not bad right?

Well, if it was kbps and not KBps, then that means you get 2.5KBps, which means 1MB for every about 500 seconds...

I am in south Florida, people here refer to metro PCS as Metro Piece of S***. I have to agree that their customer service and their signal is not as good as a verizon for example, but i'm with them since they came to south FLa like 7 years ago. I have no complaints. Their problem is that their phones just sucks... I used to like the Nokias but now they dont even have that. They sell stupids MotoKRZR or RAZR for about 200, 300 depending on the phone and other carriers have for 29 sometimes.... so thats the bad part, and this is where my needs to have a pda like a Mogul started. there's no ROM for metro, so I used the kitchen and cooked a Verizon rom. I came back showing "EV" and saying welcome to america roaming something, so i downloaded a PRL from the corolada page and updated the phone using the ##778 thing. , rebooted and then the phone showed 1X right away and like magic the phone was into metropcs' network!

Sorry i mean 17K ... on limewire , what u see next to the download status. a 3.5Mb mp3 came in about 6, 7 minutes.

I'd like some info in flashing to metro pcs.
I have a Sprint Touch and would like to flash it over to avoid the purchase of a new 'crappy' phone.
