Yes as long as you don't live in a AWS area. I have a Touch Pro on metropcs with Web, MMS, GPS, youtube, etc. everything works great.

sorry to say your rep is incorrect, the radio in a TP is for dual band CDMA, so it will not pick up AWS, text might work, but phone calls with travel talk only.

That does nothing but prove that I am right with what I just said, All the HTC's Listed above are DUAL BAND. Not Tri-band.
