allows customers to talk 24-hours-a-day, seven days a week, and provides
enhanced service options so customers can create a wireless experience
that best fits their lifestyles. With MetroPCS service, customers pay by

dramatically reduce monthly long distance costs and is yet another
example of MetroPCS’ commitment to providing industry-leading value to
consumers in today’s tough economic climate,” said Roger D. Linquist,
president, chief executive officer and chairman of the board of
MetroPCS. “MetroPCS is eliminating the worry of high international
calling fees, counting minutes and dialing a connecting number, typical
of traditional calling cards. With MetroPCS’ international calling,
consumers are truly unlimited now more than ever.”
MetroPCS’ service plans range from $30 to $50 per month and allow
subscribers to talk all they want, 24-hours-a-day, seven days a week.
