Metro pcs sucks because they rent towers and have lack of decent coverage. Sure you can get a blackberry on it, but what good is a blackberry that has less coverage then my wireless house line. Look beyond people. Tmobile is nationwide, good service, fast data speeds, and more for more price than the regional carriers, but a hell of a lot less than verizon or sprint or att. Really compare pricing before you buy or post stupid comments. Trust me I know..I have worked for or been involved with every single cell phone company mentioned here. Metro, Cricket, Tmobile, Sprint, Verizon, ATT. Idiots. Metro pcs sucks because they rent towers and have lack of decent coverage.

The Bold should be $60 a month unlimited everything and MAYBE I'd switch to T-Mobile. I used to think they were a decent company but it's obvious they care about one thing only: Money and getting as much as possible!!! T-MOBILE SUCKS!

So they offer a $300 BlackBerry - who cares? MetroPCS has been doing this for a while. Nothing new here. How is this any different from the regular unlimited plans that include data?

The only reason they call it "complete" is it's everything you need to get going in a box; the price includes your first month of service. You get this, you're starting up a Flexpay Even More + Monthly rate plan with text and data. Uh, hate to tell you this, but T-Mobile Complete IS Flexpay.
