If you’re on a budget and looking for a switch from one of the big guys, MetroPCS is running a pretty sweet promotional offer. For new activations only, MetroPCS is offering unlimited local and long distance calling, unlimited text, and the usuals (voicemail, caller ID, 3-way calling, etc) for only $25 a month with tax and regulatory fees included.
This deal lasts until June 30 and is only available in store. What’s the catch? Besides being available only to new customers, it is limited to just three handsets: the Huawei Pinnacle, Kyocera Presto, and Samsung Freeform III. Data, including MMS, is an additional charge.
Clearly this deal isn’t going to lure a horde of high-end smartphone users over to MetroPCS, but for the budget shopper who just needs talk and text, it is highly competitive. MetroPCS spokesman Drew Crowell said, “It's another way that MetroPCS is providing choice for potential customers and allowing them to choose a service plan that fits their needs and lifestyles.”
Mint Mobile is now allowing you to get whichever plan you like for either three, six, or 12 months for just $15/mo. If you go for the six-month unlimited service, for instance, you'll now have to pay just $90 upfront instead of $210.
