How do I find information on cell phone carriers?

You may want to make a list of cell phone carriers you know first, such as the ones you are currently with, to compare them together. If you want non-contract phone service, Metro PCS is a good start. You can compare their plans with Verizon, ATT, and T-Mobile on the spot. You can view them here: http://www.metropcs.com/metro/static/compare4g-plans.jsp .


Should you buy a non contract phone or a contract phone?

It is up to you. A contract means you can get the phone for free, and get a new one when the contract renews. Non contract is when you have to buy the phone up front and put a PAYG sim in it


Is metro pcs better than at t?

Well lets look at the factors here. Metro PCS does have unlimited everything for the max of $60 a month. Although, there are some consequences for paying so cheap for a plan. 1) If you want a smart phone, be ready to pay $200+ for it & the first months payment before you walk out the door. Another downfall is if you have a smartphone you probably use the internet & apps a lot, but with Metropcs their data comes and goes as it pleases. The more you use your data the slower it gets then eventually goes away for awhile then pops back up which is very annoying. And since Metro's towers aren't everywhere like AT&T, you have poor signal in many places, which is a little scary if you get stranded, and your phone doesn't have a signal or Data. Yes AT&T is more expensive, you are looking to pay $100+ a month for a plan if you want a Smartphone. With AT&T you are paying for quality, and reliability. You won't loose data, you won't loose signal...BUT there are credit checks that kinda suck, unlike Metro PCS which doesn't have credit checks. Although there are ways around it, you can get a friend or family member that has great credit to buy the phones for you! Its really easy. If you aren't looking for top speed, and great signal, then for for Metro PCS. But if you want fastest speed, great coverage, and able to use your apps at anytime then go with AT&T. (i have had Metro PCS since 2003, it worked great with non-smart phones, but with smart phones it really just didn't cut it. My work revolves around my phone, so I need something that is reliable. So me & my husband switched to AT&T & bought us Iphone 3gs's for a wapping $2.98, and you do NOT have to pay your first months bill upfront! I hope I helped you decide!)

Can you buy an ATT phone without a plan in an ATT store that is not a go phone?

Sure, I bought a LG VU the other day and didn't sign a contract. As long as you have a working phone number on a GSM system the phone you buy will work. T-mobil and ATT phones will cross. You do want to make sure the phone is GSM and unlocked. You will pay more for the non contract phone. Th eLG VU is $49.00 with and $249.00 without.


Can you chat on facebook but on a metropcs phone?

When it comes to Metro non android phones then you'd have to go to the browser which looks like crap. WHEN YOU HAVE AN ANDROID, the chat and all those things come installed already. And you can get it free and the better version on the market :D


Can You activate an iPhone at Metropcs?

As of 6/17/13 T-Mobile has finally gotten the iPhone, and their merge with Metro PCS means that they will get the iPhone, too, because the two carriers will begin using each other's bandwidths. The reason this took so long is nicely explained below. The iPhone will be flashed soon because it was released for Verizon with the CDMA signal Verizon uses. I work at Metro PCS and i know for a fact that you can not use an iPhone with Metro PCS. Metro PCS is only allowed to use phones from Sprint and Verizon because they don't need a SIM card. iPhones need a SiM card, therefore, they will not work with Metro. While the above answer is basically correct that no current iPhone model (as of May 2010) can work with MetroPCS, the issue isn't related to use of a SIM card. Current iPhones contain only a GSM radio, but MetroPCS uses phones that contain a CDMA radio, so it's physically impossible to get any current iPhone to work with MetroPCS, or any other non-GSM carriers. Swapping SIM cards from CDMA phones, into an iPhone, doesn't somehow make the iPhone radio into a CDMA radio, since a phone's radio circuitry has nothing to do with the SIM card. To work on CDMA carriers, Apple would have to manufacture a new iPhone design that has a CDMA radio. The only other carrier in the US, besides AT&T, that the iPhone will work with, is T-Mobile, since they use GSM, but this requires unlocking your iPhone, which can often (though not always) be a tedious and complex process for people who aren't tech-savvy. ---
