Post MetroPCS sues Virgin Mobile over right to alter phones

MetroPCS Communications Inc. is going to court with a rival provider of prepaid wireless phone service, Virgin Mobile USA LP, over a MetroPCS program that allows phones from Virgin and other carriers to be reconfigured to operate on the MetroPCS network.

The dispute centers on MetroFlash, which MetroPCS launched June 26 to allow consumers to get certain phones “reflashed,” or altered to work on MetroPCS’ network.

MetroFlash works on non-MetroPCS phones that use a technical standard called code division multiple access, or CDMA.

MetroPCS declined to comment.
