I've never had metro pcs so i'm not sure how you transfer the epic 4g to it besides the flashing process which I looked up and can do. But as far as paying for service, would I pay for the $40 dollar unlimted data voice, text plan? or do i have to pay for the more expensive smartphone plans that are 4g LTE?
Does the Epic 4g actually get 4g signal through Metro PCS?
No response?
So nobody on the Epic 4g Forum has flashed their phone to Metro PCS? Help por favor...
No 4g through metro, yes though it will work. Text, voice and 1x data flashed correctly. 3g works too but good luck finding it. There is a thread btw.

If you don't have 4G in your area you don't pay the 4G $10/month premium. What if you are traveling and happen to pass a 4G area. Will the EVO be able to connect to 4G? What are your thoughts on this?
will never happen because you have to pay the 10 bucks a month
$10 fee is not for 4G data. Period.

the $10 charge is for the EVO, not for 4G. I'll pay it if it helps sprint subsidize expanding their 4g network.
It's still cheaper than paying for AT&T or other carriers.
My question is that if you'r area does not have 4g does do you still have to pay the extra ten dollars for the 4g even tho there is no 4g ?
The $10 is for premium data and not 4G. So yes it's required even if you aren't in a 4G area.
oh wow that sucks. idk if i can get the evo now
Im wondering if anyone has discovered hot to link metropcs flashed Evo to 4G speeds or 3G anything faster than 1x??
The Evo uses Clearwire's WiMax network for 4G service, so I doubt you'll be able to get 4G.
What about 3G?

we'll thats the bad thing about metro PCS
well 3g speeds are governed by your network and 4g speeds wimax.. uses as stated before clear wire service from sprint so basically if metro does not have a 3g network you can't get 3g on your phone and metro only has a 4g LTE network without wimax support your also down in that category i know this because i flashed my old eve to metro for a month and got sick of the damn slow speed so i switched back to sprint thank god i kept my contract with sprint while testing out metro.. but you do get what you pay for ...
Thanks

You need a donor phone from Verizon.

Ok and what a do with the donor phone?
Research what a donor phone is, and that will bring you all the information you need to know.
Sent from my Blu Kuban powered Epic (4g lol) Touch
or just pay 50 buck to a buddy of mine he will do it all you need is a usb a phone a working computer
If you have metroPCS service in your town, you can also flash it to metro- text, talk, mms, web, gps all for $40 a month. I also think you can for cricket as well. Both are pre-paid carriers- no need for a donor phone.
Thank you for the help,but I will glad if you send me a tutorial in how to flash it to Verizon,due to there is not metro PC or cricket in my area just Verizon prepaid.
Epic 4G Touch
Hi I flashed my Epic 4G touch to Verizon prepaid but It keeps saying roaming whats up with that everything Is working perfect but it says roaming witch probably is not a good thing??
Why can't I get 3g speed? All I get is 1x data speeds. It isn't my area because I have had other phones flashed to cricket before and I got good 3g speeds. My nexus s 4g didn't have any problems.

I think it has to do with crickets radio frequency, and the fact that it's flashed and not made for cricket.
And also Samsung doesn't make the best radios
I know with Page Plus, you need a Verizon donor phone to get 3G unless the phone you are flashing is an actual Verizon phone. Wonder if Cricket is the same way?
There is a thread over at www.cricketusers.com that will help you get 3G.
Lot's of info for Epic Touch Cricket phones over there.
