Question
can a black berry curve from verizon or sprint be used with metro pcs? and if so how can i do it?

Answer
If you get it flashed to Metro, yes, it can be used. I would recommend looking up a company on line that flashes phones to MetroPCS. I don't recommend any of them because I have not personally worked with these companies and MetroPCS does not work where I am, however, I have heard from many people who are very happy with phones that are flashed to MetroPCS. As long as it is a CDMA phone (Verizon or Sprint), theoretically, it can be flashed. There is a cost associated with this and I would more recommend that you buy the phone directly from one of these companies as many of them will not flash a phone for you that you bought, but will sell you one that has been flashed. I hope this helps. Thanks. DebiN
