Im not sure about gsm. But with cdma it can be flashed to another cdma carrier. But it also depends on the flashing company you use. Some can only do the 4. Others can do the 4 to the 5. Some can only flash if running ios5 others can flash no matter what.
Its all in what company and what carrier really.
I know this probably doesnt help but just wanted to say what i knew about flashing a iphone.
I completely agree with you in every aspect

A CDMA phone can only be flashed to one CDMA carrier at a time as I understand it.
But, in either case, this will not help get the threadstarter to T-Mobile since it is not a CDMA carrier.
I understand that and i heard that is possible with cricket as well

That is correct. As you see i did mention i didnt know about gsm. I saw where cdma flashing was talked about, so i added what i knew about it. Since his is cdma it would be a better chamce of flashing to metro, page plus, virgin. Somewhere along those lines.
You do understand my point

i think ios 6 available now days.
