“We continue to be the leader in providing affordable, and now more
valuable, unlimited wireless service. The natural evolution of the
wireless industry is to provide more value for less money,” said Roger
D. Linquist, president, chief executive officer and chairman of the
board of MetroPCS. “Our $45 flagship plan will give customers exactly
what they are looking for – an incredible number of valuable features
for virtually half the price of post-paid national wireless carriers.”
MetroPCS continues to offer consumers a variety of cutting-edge plans
and features that are not only affordable but full of value. Most
recently, MetroPCS was the first North American wireless carrier to
offer unlimited international long distance calling for an additional $5
per month, to over 100 countries and over 1,000 destinations. This
unlimited international long distance feature is available on both the
$45 and $50 service plans. Starting today, MetroPCS is also offering
consumers a family plan that will help save families a significant
amount of money. With MetroPCS’ family plan, families with two to five
lines will be able to enjoy MetroPCS Unlimited NationwideSM
service for talk, text and MetroWEB® for $35 per line.
MetroPCS’ service plans range from $30 to $50 per month and allow
customers to talk, text and browse the Internet all they want without
ever signing a contract. The first month of service is free and there is
no activation fee or hidden charges.
