Hey i have a question im, looking to get a buisness phone for myself and ill admit as far as price and amount i have to care about staying on the payments Metro wins.

i know they do both CDMA and GSM i was wondering if its possible to unlock say a T-Mobile phone and throw one of Metro's GSM SIM cards into it.

i work for metro in florida and unless ive been miss informed metro does not take sim cards. they work off of cdma here in florida therefore you cannot take a phone from another company and activate it on metro.

it all depends on what u are going to do with ur phone. if u do alot of texting then i wold say the r410. the slvr is also a great phone , i personally have the w385 and i love it i have not had a single problem battery life is great and i talk on it all the time, and its only $149.99 but the slvr has the mp3 player but there is no headphone jack for it and has no stereo bluetooth so the music only plays through the phone speaker. but other than that its a good phone.

im not sure exactly if txting is going to be the a big necessity, i mainly need it to be a well rounded phone that can take a good bit of use and is reliably conviente. also i mite be thinking sliver cause i work at a t-mobile retailer and its the best camoflauged(so to speak lol).

but would that be a good choice to go with, a sliver?, or do you think theres a better go.

If you need a phone for work use and you travel alot, I would have to stay away from Metro at least for now. If you go outside your home area Travel talk coverage is going to cost you a bunch. I use my phone mainly for work here in florida. I do like the model that Metro is setting, as far as the unlimited use of everything for one low price. The serice is great if you live in a area saturated with metro coverage. If not then you are probably going to have to carry another phone with you. No carrier has perfect coverage thats for sure, but I would look for one who has the most coverage in your area. Dont go by the maps at the store cause they are just estimates of coverage. Ask around, some devices are better at receiving signals then others...

I will have to agree with you on that r410 is a good looking phone but working for metro i have seen alot of problems with the screen acting all crazy and just stop working. other than that its a good phone but i would not get it just for that reason. I have the w385 and it has been a great phone for me. would like to have the moto z6m just cant afford it right now. What i really want though is the nokia 6265i that phone is awesome but done know were to get one beings there discontinued.
