ZTE Zmax Pro - Switching from MetroPCS to T-Mobile. what is up guys my name is my turn on this video we're gonna like the CTE
c-max bro for MetroPCS and get it ready for the t-mobile network and we're gonna
go over my experience so make sure it stay tuned until the end of this video
if you have your city maxpro for over 90 days you should be able to walk it very
easily all you have to do is go to your apps drawer locate the app called the
Bison lock once the app is open click on the permanent unlocked and after a few
seconds you should get a success message if you do get a failure it means that
you haven't had your phone for over 90 days or there is some issue with that
counting to the phone to pay attention to the details in the errors because if
your phone is already unlocked you will get an unlocked fail but in the details
it will mention that device is already unlocked once the phone is a lot make
sure to turn off the device before proceeding to removing the nano SIM card
by popping out the SIM tray remember to check your phone's box as you should
have received a tray eject tool once we remove the MetroPCS nano SIM card we
proceed to inserting the t-mobile nano SIM card after turning the device on you
should be connected to the t-mobile network using the inserted nano SIM card
next you'll want to go uninstall or disable all the metro pcs apps don't
worry you can always get them back if you ever want to use this phone again
with metro pcs you can say what the metro pcs apps by navigating to your
apps tray click in the Settings app and click in on the apps tab you will get a
list of all the apps installed in your device so what you want to do here is go
through the list and identify all the metro pcs apps once you find an app that
you want to disable or uninstall click on it and on the next window you have an
option to disable it or only install it remember that you can always come back
and enable the apps follow in the same steps now if you wondering if the
t-mobile apps will be compatible I can tell you that I tested three of the apps
that I use the most in the work that's expected the apps I tested where the
t-mobile app the visual voicemail and the t-mobile Tuesday app I was not able
to find any issues using these apps or they included features there any apps
that you feel I should have tested as part of this video make sure to let me
know in the comment section below I also make sure that the Wi-Fi calling
and hot spot for working by going to the Settings app click on on more under
Wireless and networks with see the connection preference for Wi-Fi
calling I usually have issues with the connections while using Wi-Fi calling so
I prefer to have the static to cellular network prefer that way they will only
use the cellular network for calls and you will only use the Wi-Fi calling when
they cellular signal is unavailable same for hotspot you can access it by going
to the Settings app click on more under Wireless and network and finally go to
tethering and mobile hotspot from here you can enable or disable the mobile
hotspot feature that allows all the compatible devices to use your mobile
data connection from t-mobile to connect to the internet last if you're not very
happy with the stock Android launcher included with metro pcs you can always
install a different launcher one of my favorite wants is a nova launcher you
can download the free version and it will work just fine especially if you're
tired of the Google search bar that shows it in the main screen which won't
let you remove it using different launchers like normal launcher will
allow you to get rid of it now let's talk about my overall experience one
thing I can tell you that I put away my samsung galaxy s A+ for a week while I
was using the CTC max broke with the t-mobile network and I can tell you I
was pretty satisfied with the functionality I never had issues with
the network or any issues with the apps crashing as a result of the
incompatibility the performance of the phone was good connectivity phone calls
were also consistent and the data connection never let me down now as you
turn to tell me if you own a CTS c-max pro from MetroPCS
