Metro PCS, anyone on this?

[migit1209]

Anyone on this carrier? If so, how is it? What kind of phone do you have? How's the reception? etc. Might be switching tomorrow.

 

[mosthated770]

im bout to switch to it lol..$40 a month for unlimited everything ftw...

 

[danikerhino]

Yeah I have it, I recommend getting one of the Samsung phones. Despite what everyone says, the service is good, the reception is just like any other phone service, and a select number of phones are good. Just make sure you do your research on the phone you're buying through Cnet.com or other cell phone review sites.

I have some cheap Nokia. Great but I only use it to call and text.

 

[imajaywalker]

i know in Cleveland its called Revol, never had it but i always hear people complain about the service.
Here in ATL people have metro but it usually referred to negatively.

 

[danikerhino]

Oh yeah, I have the Motorola VE440.

Def getting the Samsung Code. Been looking at it for a while. Anyways DaNiKeRhiNo, how's the calling?

Cop a verizon blackberry & then have it unlocked. Then use it for metro pcs if you want since Verizon and Metro pcs don't use sim cards. I know this cause I had my boy do this and it worked.

with any blackberry?

 

[mr monday niight]

windows 6.1

which kinda sucks...

 

[danikerhino]

Good, the only drawback is when you got to a small town or travel, you have to double check to see if you have coverage over there. Unfortunately, MetroPCS isn't completely nationwide yet.

On the sidenote, the Samsung Code might be the best phone on MetroPCS, I think it has some kind of Windows OS (6.5 version I think). I tested it out and it ran smoothly.

i remember when Metro piece of %@!# first came out in the bay a long time ago.. Everybody hopped on it.. they all complained about barely any reception. They've come a long way though.

One thing thats funny is I know when somebody that texts me has Metro because I get triple texts of the same message back to back.

 

[marionthebarberian]

I have it right now, i got hooked up on the samsung code.

I forgot who it was, but someone told me they have/workin on 3g and 4g.

also if you are worried about the reception, I have NEVER had a dropped or bad quality call.

Hmmm... It looks like they have stepped things up since I was with them back in 2007.

I own a MetroPCS franchise and I can tell you first hand about this service. First thing, it is probably the smartest decision to make if you're looking to Switch phone carriers and save money. No contract, no credit checks and no crazy surprise charges. It started in Florida and Texas and than made it's way to Cali.



As much as people clown this phone company, my reps and district ARs are former sprint employees. This is a very big and successful company make big changes this year. They're going 4G Internet speeds this summer and coming with a nice line up of phones. Yea sometimes the reception is bad but it's getting better. You can use a Sprint or Verizon blackberry on Metro but it has to be flashed and unlocked first. It's not beneficial if it doesn't have wifi though.
