Recently T-Mobile has been able to officially secure its purchase of MetroPCS. Its first move is to get users to start using their GSM based service, or vice versa with Metro's CDMA technology. In a sense, customers can go into a MetroPCS store with a device and activate it using T-Mobile's GSM bands. The same can also be said with MetroPCS customers as they can head into T-Mobile stores and have their CDMA device activated. The MetroPCS BYOD program is only available in Boston, Dallas, Hartford, and Las Vegas with plans to expand soon.
Of course T-Mobile's future plans for MetroPCS is to eventually use their LTE bands to help broaden theirs. That will take some time and I see this BYOD program a good step into getting customers into using both T-Mobile's and MetroPCS' service. This program is only for Android, iPhone and Windows devices. Sadly Blackberry phones will not be supported.
