Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Unfortunately no. The Nokia N95-3 uses GSM (for carriers like ATT and T-Mobile) but Metro PCS uses CDMA technology. These two standards are incompatible (which is why you can't take a Verizon phone to ATT or vice-versa)

but it also has cdma on it

wiki:
N95 NAM (N95-3)
The Nokia N95-3 is a revision of the N95, internally designated as RM-160, designed specifically for the North American market. It is also available in Australian and South American market.
The following was changed from the original version:
128 MB RAM, up from 64MB.
WCDMA (HSDPA) 850 and 1900 MHz , instead of 2100 MHz .
1200 mAh battery, up from 950 mAh.

Talk time up to 190 min (WCDMA), up to 250 min (GSM).

Slider protecting camera lens removed to make room for the larger battery.
Camera flash moved to the vertical axis of the phone, so when the phone is used as a camera it sits to the side of the camera, instead of below as in the N95-1.
Cosmetic changes to media buttons.
Height: 2.05 cm, down from 2.10 cm.
Mass: 125 g, up from 120 g.
White keyboard light instead of blue for visibility improvement

The Nokia N95-3 should work on Metro PCS, according to wikipedia, but I would recommend your friend to talk to a Metro PCS representative and ask all the questions she has about the phone and if it supports it.

The nokia N95-3 is CDMA and GSM but you have to flash it. Metro pcs will do it for $40.00
