After breaking my xv6700 by dropping it, I bought an used sprint PPC-6800, Changed the ESN to according to my old xv6700 using mtty and QPST procedure, flashed with a new kitchen for Verizon customization, Loaded a MetroPCS PRL on it and BAM! all good, back in business. That took me 5 hours, first timers..... but i'm glad to join the Titan forum now. Thanks for all the topics I reaserched here

Text, Calls, Internet, Phone As Modem, Google maps and Live search... Unlimited talking and 45 bucks per month, why should I want more?

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 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?

Hi Fred. I'm very interested in what you have done. Congratulations. =D>

I'm considering buying a used Sprint Mogul myself and modding it for use on the MetroPCS network. Seems like you are saying it is possible.

Please clarify:

Do I need to use the $35 metroflash service - which just offers voice & texting - as a prerequisite for your mod? Or do I bypass that step entirely?

Which features on your PPC6800 are now fully enabled to work on the MetroPCS network and which are not?

When you say "internet" are you talking about full, fast access to the Mogul's full IE web browser or painfully slow access to the (pathetic) Metro Web browser? Like what speed? Does https: encryption work - e.g. can I pay my bills online with the Mogul?

Does email work? I don't particulary want or need an @metropcs account, but @gmail access would be useful. Have you successfully set up POP & SMTP & SSL?

What kind of upload/download speeds are possible thru MetroPCS network in wireless modem mode connecting to laptop? I guess unlimited data is part of the MetroPCS $45 plan, or does it violate any terrms of use?

Is the MetroPCS network reliable/stable enough for all functions or do you drop in and out with voice and data?

Have you successfully added MMS for sending picture to phone numbers?

How do you find the camera's still and video quality?

Is there a step by step you have worked out available online, or would you prefer to email/chat privately? Please feel free to email me. (Please let me know if this is OK to do in this forum as I would not wish to offend. )

Thanks. Thanks. Thanks.

Oh... did I say Thanks?
