MetroPCS initially launched in 2002 and four years later, now have more than 2 million subscribers. MetroPCS offers customers flat rate plans with unlimited local and domestic long distance minutes with no contract. MetroPCS currently covers the greater Miami, Tampa, Sarasota, Atlanta, San Francisco, Sacramento, Dallas and soon to come Detroit metropolitan areas.

What rate plans do they currently offer? What are some of the optional features? Am I covered by MetroPCS? What phones am I able to get with MetroPCS? If you have any questions/comments about MetroPCS you may post them here.

As of right now no, they aren't offering wap access. But it is suppose to be available sometime this summer, around late June or early July.

Just a couple ?'s...

I just bought the Razr for Metro Pcs and I must say..I'm happy with the perfomance of the phone but its a couple little things I don't like...

From my understanding, you must set up an account with metro pcs to even get app's, ringtones, and images which is really bugging me because I make my own ringtones...can I use a data cable or no???

Another problem I'm having is that I can't have the vibrate and ring feature on my phone...they have vibrate, vibrate then ring, loud, and soft...NO VIBRATE AND RING! Is it possible to get this???

But other then that, I'm happy...can actually talk in the basement (WOOOHOOOO!)

Thanx tho guys...

I haven't actually tried to download ringtones on the V3c yet, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. Just get a data cable and the MPT(Mobile Phone Tools) software.
The V3c with metroPCS doesn't give the Ring & Vibrate option and I'm not for sure if there is way to make it do it. Maybe seem editing, but that's a little out of my experience with cell phones.

Always great to see a happy person with metroPCS service! Where exactly is it that you use your service? If there is anything else I can do for you let me know.

Hey Guys;
I live in the Atlanta area. I recently bought a Nokia 6101 to use with the Tmobile to go thing, but im ending up spending like $50 a month on it for basically NOTHING, so I saw this and am very interested. Is there any way I can still use my 6101 and keep my number? I love this phone, and I just got it, so I really dont want to get anything else. Thanks!!!

No, the 6101 is GSM and metroPCS is CDMA. You'll need to purchase one of their own phones which includes the first month of service. They offer a few Nokia phones right now, if your wanting to stay with Nokia. The low-end 2125i, and two higher-end 6235i and 6255i(only available in select markets).

Word is out that these phones are planned to launch with metroPCS:

Samsung A850 - Late June/early July

Motorola E815 - Late June/early July

Kyocera Strobe - TBD

Rumor has it that metroPCS will be opening up in Orlando, Florida. No estimated date as of yet.

I am looking to buy a 3586i for MetroPCS. I need it to replace my current phone, which no longer works after becoming waterlogged (ugh).

anyone have this for sale, or know where to purchase one, it would be appreciated (I'd prefer used or refurbished to new at this time due to cost)

actually, a good deal on any MetroPCS enabled phone would be appreciated. Just that I have/had the 3586i and it was sufficient, but I would be interested in any MetroPCS phone just to restore my service for now.

You can purchase a used/refurbished one online somewhere, maybe ebay or something. The only thing to watch out for would be to make sure that esn is in good standing(i.e. hasn't been reported lost/stolen). Some authorized metroPCS dealers carry replacement phones in the store, which might be a little more expensive way to go but definitely safer.
