I called their customer service, who referred me, in turn, back to a retail store. I gave them the 7250's ESN, but they said it was invalid (I think that's the term they used). I'm in Orlando, Florida; does that make a difference? Should I just keep calling every MetroPCS location around until someone knows what to do? | | Offline

If that doesn't work, call MetroPCS and have them resend the service books.

You need a BlackBerry data plan for bbm to work.
As well as this thread is very old, it's considered impolite to bump up old topics.

Yes. I have a verizon blackberry curve 8330 that was recently flashed over to metropcs. The cost was $110 and it included the first month of service. The internet, email, and multimedia texting works. If you live in southern california, I could give you the guys contact information.

I hope this is true and i can add it for $10 extra.
But the myth of not been able to have a blackberry on metro is a complete lie, metro will not do it at the moment because if you decide to do an OS Update it will reset the phone and it will kill the flashing, so you will have to return to the store to get it done again and so on.
I wanted to flash a blackberry Storm but is too expensive with out a contract and i went to Verizon in person to test the phone and is way too slow, i hope updates will fix that problem. | if want to update, back up servicebooks before hand, after the os update , service book is gone just reload via s.b.e.b in the service book restore function, and note BEFORE UPDATE BE SURE TO DELETE THE VENDOR FILE IN THE RESEARCH IN MOTION FOLDER. this is from my own experience. bb 8330 sprint. on metro pos pcs | | Offline
