The short answer is yes. You can flash any type of phone. AT&T and T-Mobile for example are based on GSM which is a technology used around the world. Sprint, Verison, Cricket, Altel, MetroPCS and others use a wireless standard called CDMA that is only found in the U.S. for the most part. You need to clarify what network you are talking about. I will take a guess and say you are asking about Metro PCS. If this is the case then the answer is no. MetroPCS is switching to a newer technology and in some markets (New York, NY being one of them) they already implemented it. So it is not that the phone that wont work because it is flashed but because it is CDMA and they Metro PCS in NYC does not use CDMA. Please specify the network you are talking about to receive a better answer. Metro PCS in NYC uses AWS not standard CDMA so you would need a triband CDMA phone. You can flash any CDMA phone to Metro regardless if the idiots who work there say you can or can't (AWS for NYC area Metro Network). I know I have done it for friends even though I personally have AT&T. Update: Since you added what type of phone it is, I can tell you the answer is no. It has nothing to do with the phone being flashed. The problem as I described above is that Metro PCS in NYC uses AWS technology. Your phone has to support this wirless protocol and yours does not.
