MetroPCS Expands 4G LTE to Four New Territories
MetroPCS continues to shuttle its no annual contract 4G LTE service into more locations, with the latest expansion effort focusing on Atlanta, Jacksonville, Miami, and Orlando metropolitan areas, the wireless carrier announced. Customers in these and other 4G areas can access the high-speed network on the Samsung Craft, the first and so far the only commercially available 4G LTE handset, MetroPCS says.
"We continue to expand our network so more customers can experience the only no annual contract, unlimited talk, text, and 4G LTE Web browsing service available today," said Roger D. Linquist, president, CEO, and chairman of MetroPCS. "MetroPCS is giving customers everything they want -- an affordable 4G LTE phone, more choices, and the best value in 4G LTE service to stay connected, be entertained, and do more -- without sacrificing time or money."
4G LTE plans start at $40 through MetroPCS, which includes unlimited talk, text, and Web. There are also $50 and $60 plans which up the ante with additional goodies like instant messaging, unlimited email access, and 4G On Demand with MetroSTUDIO ($60 plan). All three plans included unlimited YouTube.

I've been with Metro for just about 2 years now and I have no complaints. Service has been stellar for me the entire time and I can probably count on one hand how many calls I have had dropped in that time, and I'm not entirely sure it was on my end. Sure, the internet on 1x isn't fast, but then until recently the ONLY thing I used the internet for on my WM phone was to activesync my contacts and calendar contents from my Google Apps account. I recently switched to one of the new Android phones (the Optimus M) and am loving it. I still don't browse the web on it, and never will. I do use the internet to read feeds (MPC among them!) when killing time in line, and the 1x is still plenty fast enough for my needs. I laugh when I read about people paying 30 bucks for "unlimited (but really limited) data". My entire BILL is only 50 bucks, and that includes unlimited talk, text and data. That said, in a year or so, I may go ahead and get an LTE Android phone.
All I can say is I'm glad Metro is around. They have been a huge boon to my budget, and I lose nothing.
