MetroPCS has changed the way the offer plans and now include taxes and fees. These plans called Wireless for All, include all taxes and regulatory fees which is supposed to make things easier for consumers.
Previously new cusomters, received a free month of service when they purchased a phone that option is not longer available but users don't have worry about the taxes and fees any more. They are offering $20-$40 rebates on certain Kyocera phones which almost equal a month of service.
MetroPCS offers unlimited nationwide
talk, text and Web service plans ranging from $40 to $60 per month, as
well as smartphones, messaging devices and feature handsets.
“Wireless for All means we’re offering predictable,
affordable and flexible service plans for all consumers with no hidden
costs or charges,” said Roger D. Linquist, president, CEO and chairman
of the board of MetroPCS “We’re simplifying our service plans and
eliminating the guesswork associated with regulatory fees and state and
local taxes that, in the past, have caused consumers’ monthly bills to
fluctuate. Just as we pioneered no contract, flat-rate and unlimited
services, we remain committed to delivering innovative, competitive
service plans, a high-quality wireless network and more choices of
affordable phones.”
MetroPCS’ new service plans now start at $40 and all plans offer
unlimited nationwide talk, text, and Web services. Other service plans
at $45, $50 and $60 offer additional options and features to match any
mobile lifestyle including unlimited international long distance
calling to more than 1,000 destinations in more than 100 countries.
With an expanding portfolio of nearly 20 handsets that begin at $29.
MetroPCS allows value-conscious consumers to do more with add-on
features such as GPS turn-by-turn navigation, mobile music, social
networking, premium directory assistance, international text messaging,
unlimited calling to Mexico and the world and more. No matter which
plan they choose, consumers have the flexibility to add or change
services without worrying about long-term contracts, termination fees
or other costs.
