Hi June,no you can't use the Metro PCS Galaxy S3 on AT&T; or T-Mobile. They use a technology to make calls that is very different from MetroPCS and the Galaxy cannot be reprogrammed.

Only if the phone is a GSM,stay away from CDMA even if its a Metro phone as of 2015 they will not Activate a CDMA as they are trying to phase them out ,Always better to check with Store first before being left with a brick

Well T-Mobile and Metro PCS are in the process of combining, but the Metro PCS version of the S3 is CDMA while a regular T-Mobile S3 is GSM. You might be better off just buying the T-Mobile S3 I believe they aren't that far apart in price

No I am sorry to inform you but you can't use the Metro PCS Galaxy S3 on AT&T; or T-Mobile. They use a technology to make calls that is very different from MetroPCS and the Galaxy cannot be reprogrammed.

You can have the Samsung Galaxy III activated at either T Mobile or Metro PCS with no contract. I'm not sure about AT&T;, they do have no contract plans but I believe T Mobile or Metro PCS would be the better choice.

Yes you can either with at&t; or tmobile. Tmobile is cheaper but at&t; has better service in my opinion. Hope this helps

Good question- I called the service center for AT&T.; From what I understood, I don't think, AT&T; has a 'no contract service' for this phone.

While I cannot guarantee anything, t-mobile and AT&T use the same types of connection, so you should just need the right SIM card.

My phone was purchased from US Cellular but I suggest you contact US Cellular and give them the info and let them tell you if they can or cannot.

I don't believe so. They can't do that and plus this phone is an AT&T; phone. You just pop your sim card in and it wotks automatically. But if they give you and issues just threaten to leave them for T-Mobile.

AT&T; doesnmt allow Asian phone. T-mobile is the only one choice for you to use this phone.

You can purchase AT&T; 3G or 4G without any contract - just as needed. If you have wi-fi available, you can shut off the cellular data. I switch back and forth at my convenience.

AT&T; will give you a new sim card. You can buy a SIM card for other services, like StraightTalk for $15.

Not anymore. You can just call T-mobile or go to their store and ask for this specific plan.

Yes but only a T-Mobile prepaid plan or a prepaid plan that uses T-Mobile service since this phone is locked to T-Mobile.

Best to go to an AT&T; store and have sales person test the SIM in the phone or ask if the one you want to buy is OK.

You can just buy it and swap it out for a phone on your line. I purchased mine and replaced my droid the day I recieved it with no change to my plan and no upgrade availible.

I did not buy the phone from t-mobile and it works fine. You will need a t-mobile simm card however which you can purchase from t-mobile if you do not already have one.

Yes, that is what I'm on and needed a replacement phone, without having to pay an arm and a leg and have to sign a contract extention. It does use a micro sim card, but it took me less than 5 minutes to switch my sim over on the T-Mobile website :-)

I run this phone on T-Mobile, which is a GSM carrier like AT&T.; I use a prepaid, no contract option.
