Metro Vs. Boost unlimited

I have been advised that Metro PCS pretty much wipes out their competition e.g. Chicago and northern California market.
They are coming to the southern California market within a few months. Right now in the San Diego market Cricket is Boosts competitor. Cricket is just giving pretty much anyone authorization to sell their products. Cricket is everywhere in San Deigo.
What is the best strategy to prepare for Metro PCS coming?

In all actuality, You cant compair the two.... Boost is marketed towards a whole different group of people. There will always be a market for Boost...

METRO PCS, i used to have it in Ft.lauderdale, it recently come to ORLANDO & Sanford AREA

BOOST JUST GETS ON YOUR NERVES FOR REAL

I had metro piece of sh*** b4 but didnt like it so NOW i have my boost and nextel love them!!

Yeah it used to drop callz when i had it but its got much better

FINALLY they step that up. I think imma go back with them then But im still funna keep the boost. Lol! I would never stop modding and unlocking them its just fun! lol

Boost Unlimited in Atlanta is much better than MertoPCS for me (better signal more places) .

metro never dropped a call for me. their coverage is limited, but you cant beat the unlimited minutes and no contract. So for those ppl always complaining, get a phone with a carrier with national coverage, see how much they suck too.

Now, I think metro is good and now they are better as they have newer devices, much more attractive but still expensive. The reason why i left them is because i turned 18 and could get my own phone and plan on my own, so I did. Metro is great for people that talk alot on the phone, have no credit, or just want to pay the same thing each month. I dont know what you mean, how can you prepare for metro...
Boost is different, as it services do target other types of consumers. I was recently on their site and their phones are not all that great anymore

Boost unlimited:

Unlimited by Boost operates on one of the nation's leading quality networks.

I wanted to show that Boost had a bigger network but the forums will not let me.

Sprint PCS has the largest network and fastest speeds on the internet.

I dont think I would go back to metro now honestlyy! Boost is where its at!

Boost operates on Nextel Network not Sprint. Sprint has a solid network but Boost runs on Nextels IDEN network. Metro runs on CDMA which is similiar to Sprint and Verizon.

metro is 10x better

Personally I would go with Metro/Cricket before I went with Boost.

Metro/Cricket have better data speeds and texting is not a problem.

Some months I have done up to 8,000 texts and I dont know anyone who has Nextel or Boost so the "chirp" would not benefit me.

Boost is starting their nationwide plans now. The only difference between the original boost mobile unlimited 'local' prepaid and the new boost mobile nationwide prepaid, besides nationwide coverage, is that there's no call waiting, but there is voice mail in case your phone is busy. I believe they did this to prevent nextel's customers with contracts from switching over en masse as there would be no difference between their contract service and the prepaid service. What this tells me is the writing is on the wall for phone companies who think they can own us with contracts.

Has anyone actually switched from a net10 (owned by tracfone)? How do I prove that a number is mine on a prepaid phone?


Also I believe that each city is different for each provider, because they estimate how many towers to put up based on that cities economy, imho. Which, if my assumption really is true, invalidates blanket statements like "xxx is absolute crap in xxx city". Since it's prepaid why not just test and see which one works best in your city? At worst you'll be out of a phone for a few hours to a few days.
