Metro PCS now covers the entire country, and has pretty much the same coverage area as the so-called major carriers. The beauty of it is that Metro is the most honest phone company in the world. You pay one fee every month, you use everything you have paid for as much as you want. I have the world calling plan. This means I call my relatives in Canada and Europe as if I am making a call to my friend in Dallas Ft Worth. I also make calls to Africa for free as long as they are to landlines...
I pay $2 for directory assistance, and not only do they verbally tell me the number, but they text it, the name of the person or business, and the address right away, and I can use this 7x77x... times every month. This is to say nothing of unlimited picture and text messaging, IM etc..All this is exactly $61 month, taxes included..
Now, they have rolled out 4G in Dallas for an additional $10 a month. If you do not need international calling, you can subtract $10, and get 4G for $61, taxes included...
They plan to have 4G everywhere by years end....
If enough of us would stop regarding cellphones as status symbols whose value is enhanced by the names of the carrier, and made economical value decisions based on coverage and service...we would all be better off..
In 3 years of being with Metro, I have had less than 10 dropped calls, 2 of them being last week when I was driving through Wiley TX...
The CEO of Metro, an old engineer, famously proclaimed that Metro is on a mission to drive cellphone prices down. He stated that from a technical point of view, the information travels multiplexed together on the same channels...
