First of all, you have to get MetroPCS to accept the ESN/MEID for the Verizon phone on its network. If you cannot get the phone activated on the MetroPCS network, the MMS/WAP settings are of no use.
I'm morbidly curious about this I like how MetroPCS and Cricket does this. If God forbid my parents stop putting up with my phone bill (though I did put $700 up front towards it) I can just switch over to one of the two! If anyone does it please post screenshots of all the networking nerd stuff!
I am a little confused. My Verizon phone was able to roam on GSM because they used TDMA. Tell it was shutdown. The phone recognizes it as Analog. If PCS has TDMA, It could be technically be used on GSM.

This does NOT work. All you do after paying $5 for Tether Me is frustrated.
I have tried setting it to these settings. trying the wap.metropcs.net one and even setting a proxy using a different service (a website that sets it for you)
And nothing I can do will get your metropcs flashed phone to have MMS or Internet.
All you get is the message "Could not activete cellular data network" and that's no. No internet No MMS.
Please delete this thread. It will only frustrate other users.
A Verizon iPhone will not work in certain areas with MetroPCS. The Verizon model runs on the 850 and 1900 mhz CDMA bands. In certain regions, MetroPCS runs on 1700, a network that is incompatible with the iPhone.
Why would I want to be on a network that my phone won't work if I travel outside of California?

Maybe some people rarely or never leave their home service area. And even if they do, they can roam on other CDMA carriers. It's a tradeoff decision everybody needs to make for themselves. Just because it doesn't appeal to you doesn't mean it couldn't appeal to anybody else.
Verizon iPhone 4 on metroPCS with web and MMS working!!!
