We'd
already heard that right about now was a great time to be in the prepaid cell business, and that's being proven quite definitively by MetroPCS' Q1 subscriber results. We're told that the firm saw a net addition of 684,000 customers in the first three months of 2009, representing an astounding 51 percent increase year-over-year. While celebrating mightily, the company also saw fit to introduce a "one-call communication solution targeted at families and friends who are trying to save money in today's economy by 'cutting the cord' and replacing their landline telephones with wireless phones." Said "landline replacer" is called GroupLINE, which enables up to five MetroPCS Family Plan subscribers to receive calls on a shared GroupLINE number while still maintaining their individual mobile numbers -- all for just $5 per month. So, anyone looking to tighten the belt by going
prepaid? Your
options are getting
good.

no thanks, Ill stick with Verizon. I like to actually be able to make and receive calls when I need to, and nationwide at that. metro pcs network sucks, its small, and they have like no data network.
well said!
Give it some time. At this rate of growth, metropcs should be nationwide in a couple of years.
yea! im a long time cust and also work for big red and i can tell u is cainda truth people that get metro end up getting verizon
at the end beacause service is random dosent work nation wide, truth verizon is expensive but if u need a reliable wireless
provider u can go wrong, i have everyone expect tmobil and i can tell u service is not as good as it is with bigRed soo yea
hey at least they added more customers than Sprint haha, thats kinda sad
I would not do this at all i am ok with metro coming from Verizon which was pretty reliable service wise, metro has gotten better with service in South FL but i haven't been traveling as much as i usually do which is where my Verizon came in handy. I really don't have much to complain about Metro PCS these days. I was paying WAY too much monthly for Verizon while metro unlimited everything for like $50 i actually get it for like $45 because I'm on this old family thing they had when i signed up and their finally coming out with nice phones so metro is finally getting there. Metro PCS is totally worth it for a cell phone if your not a jetsetter where you need the nationwide service but seriously Verizon was such a rip off the cost was way over the top
you get what you pay for man.
do you go to a 5 star restaurant and criticize them for being more then applebees?
help... i cant find "games" folder in my programs...
