Can my Virgin Mobile phone be used with Metro PCS?

[AlexR]

I have the Virgin Mobile phone called Wild Card and I'm switching services to Metro PCS. Will I have to buy a whole new phone or can I keep this one?

The answer is a definitely YES you can use your Wild Card phone on Metro PCS. Because both cell phone companies, Virgin Mobile and Metro PCS uses the same CDMA network their phones are compatible with one another. However you will need to have your virgin mobile cell phone flash. Flash means that they will change the software on the cell phone to work with Metro when you switch over. Bring your cell phone to a nearby Metro PCS and have it flash. They will charge you a fee for this. If you have any question, call a nearby Metro PCS store ask how much will it cost to flash a cell phone.
