I'm using a sprint samsung instinct on the metro pcs system, but was told that i will not receive all of the multi-media services. As of today metro pcs has added a new phone called the samsung finesse, which is the same as the samsung instinct, can my phone be unlocked to receive all of the services provided by metro pcs?
If you flashed the phone yourself then I assume you have software on a pc or laptop such as CDMA workshop or QPST configuration. If you do and you have the phones USB drivers on your computer all you have to do is put your phone in diagnostic mode and run one of these programs to access service programming. There you can change the sprint data settings to metros. For instance user name would change from old#@sprintpcs.com to new#@mymetropcs.com. It sounds difficult but if you know the settings and have the software it is quite easy.
If you paid someone to flash it for you, they did a half a$$ job as they should have done it during initial flash. You can google metropcs data and mms settings to get correct info.
I would sell the instinct, and buy the samsung finesse. Since the instinct was generally built for sprint, you will not get all of the features out of it. Because it is not sprint! The features on the instinct, are for sprint only.
As long as you have a data plan there is no reason why you shouldnt have all the features available to you. i also have a sprint samsung instinct that i unlocked myself and every option works the same as it normally would. did you unlock this phone or did someone do it for you?
