Every one that I've seen makes you get one of their phones, though you can keep your number. The choices are pretty limited, too.

MetroPCS is testing it:
We'd heard rumors that T-Mobile would take advantage of its MetroPCS deal to offer bring-your-own-device service to more customers, and it isn't letting us down with the launch of MetroPCS' Bring Your Own Phone. Much like T-Mobile itself, MetroPCS can now offer its plans to customers with unlocked GSM phones. Don't be too quick to hop aboard, however. Only those in Boston, Dallas, Hartford and Las Vegas can switch service right away, and the carrier's official support is limited to Android, iPhone and Windows Phone devices. Should everything line up, though, Bring Your Own Phone is available today. http://www.engadget.com/2013/06/12/m...phone-service/ |

The large majority of Sprint devices can be brought over to Ting. Chances are you can bring your device over if it meets these criteria: It is a Sprint device It is not an iPhone or BlackBerry It is not a Push-to-Talk (PTT) device |

my wife just changed over to Virgin mobile. Bring your own device, and uses Sprint towers. At a third of the cost.

Be sure you know what connection speeds you'll be able to get. I know in the past, you could bring your own device to these plans, but would be limited to EDGE connection, and couldn't get 3G/4G. Not positive that is still the case, but be sure and check.

So how's this Ting Mobile working out for you, sedated? I'm on ATT and have 5 phones that I don't really want to have to upgrade. But I looked at Ting's coverage map and it appears that it's not real great unless you live in the southeast US.
