Supposedly, yes, if you first unlock it and then have MetroPCS do a MetroFlash on it. Beware, though, that some users report inconsistencies with MMS messaging after the switch.

Is the iPhone capable of accessing a 3G network?
The iPhone 3G is capable of accessing a 3G network. Some of the older iPhones and the new iPhone 4 can not access a 3G network, however. There are many droid that have the same applications as the iPhone but that will hook up to the 3G network.
Can you switch to the new iPhone 3g s even if your contract is not up on the old iPhone?
Yes, depending on the network you are signed up to. You need upgrade status to get the new iPhone, again, that also depends on the network you are signed up to.
Can You activate an iPhone at Metropcs?
As of 6/17/13 T-Mobile has finally gotten the iPhone, and their merge with Metro PCS means that they will get the iPhone, too, because the two carriers will begin using each other's bandwidths. The reason this took so long is nicely explained below. The iPhone will be flashed soon because it was released for Verizon with the CDMA signal Verizon uses. I work at Metro PCS and i know for a fact that you can not use an iPhone with Metro PCS. Metro PCS is only allowed to use phones from Sprint and Verizon because they don't need a SIM card. iPhones need a SiM card, therefore, they will not work with Metro. While the above answer is basically correct that no current iPhone model (as of May 2010) can work with MetroPCS, the issue isn't related to use of a SIM card. Current iPhones contain only a GSM radio, but MetroPCS uses phones that contain a CDMA radio, so it's physically impossible to get any current iPhone to work with MetroPCS, or any other non-GSM carriers. Swapping SIM cards from CDMA phones, into an iPhone, doesn't somehow make the iPhone radio into a CDMA radio, since a phone's radio circuitry has nothing to do with the SIM card. To work on CDMA carriers, Apple would have to manufacture a new iPhone design that has a CDMA radio. The only other carrier in the US, besides AT&T, that the iPhone will work with, is T-Mobile, since they use GSM, but this requires unlocking your iPhone, which can often (though not always) be a tedious and complex process for people who aren't tech-savvy. ---
Which networks can you have an iPhone on?
Now, with the new iPhone 4S it is theoretically possible for the iPhone to be used on any mobile phone network worldwide. For GSM usage (I.E. Sim Card) the iPhone must be unlocked, and a MicroSim must be placed in the iPhone to work. For CDMA use, the iPhone must be flashed to a network, and then additional steps will most likely have to be taken in order for the iPhone to work. If you go to a professional phone store, that flashes, and unlocks phones, then they can do this for you. Also, if you plan to use CDMA, you must get a CDMA iPhone 4S, like one from Sprint or Verizon, then it may be flashed to another CDMA compatible network, or unlocked for GSM use.
Will an Australian phone work in New Zealand?
Yes. As long as it is not locked to AT&T. iPhone 3G or 3G S: The iPhone will work on 2G on any network. There is nationwide 3G on Telecom's XT Network, and 3G in metro areas on Vodafone's network. iPhone 4: The iPhone 4will work on 3G on any of New Zealand's networks.
If you put your SIM card from your old phone into your new iphone 3G or 3GS you got from eBay will you be charged any kind of fee for upgrading to a new phone?
No, however you must keep in mind that AT&T requires a special data package for iPhone to be added on your account. Without this additional package, the iPhone will not function on AT&T's network. It is possible to unlock the iPhone to work on any GSM network, but doing so will void the remainder of the warranty.
If purchased directly from Apple will the new iPhone work with a 3 three sim card?
erm depends if its locked into a contract or not if it is be sure it is locked into the "3" network

Does US Cellular carry the new iPhone 3g?
No they do not... : ( US Cellular is a CDMA network and all iphones are GSM network, so iphone is not compatible with US Cellular. They also do not allow unlocked phones on their network either, so you have to use one of their phones. I hope this was helpful. : )
Can you change the mobile network on iPhones?
Although Apple would like you to think otherwise, if you unlock the iPhone you can use it on any GSM-based carrier (in the US, that means AT&T or T-Mobile).
