Pros: Price, Features, lack of contract!
Cons: Full price on phones, initial investment can be shocking for a smartphone.
Summary: I have been using Metro PCS for years, the service got much better, I like that they added many features and coverage without increasing in price, I actually just found out I could drop from the $45 plan to $40 plan and still maintain all the features I like, unlimited nationwide talk and text, unlimited web.
Only problem, now I'm considering switching to the Samsung Finesse touchscreen smartphone, $350 for the phone itself, and $50 a month but no contract.
I also call international so I added the $5 unlimited international calling, another unbelievable value.
BTW, for those who complain about the cost to pay your bill, you can avoid the pay charge by paying on line or by giving them a credit card to automatically bill.
