Hi. Rather then answer your 'Retail' question please accept a technical response. For the near future, there are only 2 not Wi-Fi answers.GSM and CDMA.In 2016 this is the only 2 non Wi-Fi answers built out. Sure tomorrow...You. got a device that does GSM or CDMA. Locked to a carries is separateI use 2 different Lumia 2520 tablets (with Power Keyboards) for both networks.Boost is a son of Sprint. They used to be (like 20 years ago) old analog taxi dispatchers RF. Long gone and FCC RF 'swapped'.Your device (s) are either CDMA or GSM marketing aside.Some Marketing (Basic Talk) sells either/both. Some devices (limited 2016 do both).CDMA is a North American gig. (Read earlier tech) and thank you Qualcomm).Reminds me of my younger VHS/Beta career.With LTE its cluster F of marriage (tech view).You may want to study MVO's. The operative word here is Virtual. (Resellers) of CDMA and GSM.yes sir. Both are 'superior' depending on ..... YMVV. where are you? What do you/they got Where You ARE.So for me, 2 tablets. One GSM the other CDMA. What is best is what gets a signal on my part of earth, now.

I would think NO, because Boost is owned by Sprint, which is a CDMA carrier. MetroPCS is owned by Tmobile, which uses GSM. (Someone please correct me if I am wrong.) CDMA and GSM aren't really compatible.BTW, we use MetroPCS, and they have excellent and cheap plans. You can get plans as low as $30 with 1GB of high speed data. It's not bad.

Yes the transfer of the SIM Card is possible, but the connection from a boost Mobile SIM Card to a MetroPCS phone is kind of tricky. See the soft ware of the phone is different to the software on the SIM Card. This will cause the software to mix up and possibly become "corrupt." Unless the plan is for example from T-Mobile, then it can be possible because both cellphone companies are owned by the same person, so it is more probable that a mix like the example shown is than the one you are planning to do. But this process is a bad idea. If you need either company for a type of issue of any type, the companies won't be able to fix it since you ruined the programming of both technologies. So, most likely no. Sorry.
