 Upon launch of service in Philadelphia, MetroPCS will have 6 company owned stores and 132 authorized in the Philadelphia area. MetroPCS intends to add additional locations by the end of the year. In addition to bringing a new affordable, flexible, predictable low cost, flat-rate wireless service, MetroPCS' entry into the market will provide a positive stimulus for the local economy by creating an estimated 800 jobs by the end of 2008. |
With approximately 4.4 million subscribers nationwide, continued consumer demand for MetroPCS' affordable, flexible, predictable unlimited, no signed contract, flat-rate wireless service as well as entry into new markets, such as Philadelphia, has been the driving factor behind the company's growth.
MetroPCS' wireless plans range from $30 to $50 per month and allow subscribers to talk all they want, 24-hours-a-day, seven days a week. Unlike most carriers, MetroPCS does not require a signed contract, which means that consumers can activate service without going through a credit check or paying a deposit. Many of the plans include unlimited features such as voicemail, caller ID, call waiting, three-way calling, text and picture messaging, push e-mail, mobile Internet browsing, mobile instant messaging, and Metro411, a voice-activated, premium directory assistance service.
The $40 per month plan offers unlimited local and long distance calling, voicemail service and unlimited text messaging.
