Read the fine print ... you can't call wireless phone numbers in 82 of the countires, including Mexico. And if you're roaming in Cricket territory you should plan on paying an extra $0.19/minute. Smells like BS to me.

On November 6, 2008 MetroPCS announced "MetroPCS Unlimited Nationwide" offering an expanded service area that includes all Cricket Communications markets to current customers on the $45 and $50 service plans and can be added for $5 per month on other qualified service plans. [13]

Granted, the exclusion of calling cell phones is a limitation that should have been mentioned more prominently, but you can't blame MetroPCS for it. In many countries, the person who calls a wireless phone pays for the call, and the recipient of the call doesn't get charged airtime. Therefore, in countries with this billing scheme, you can't expect MetroPCS to simply eat those charges, which can be quite high. |

This isn't unusual at all. Calling mobile numbers internationally generally costs a lot.

There is *NO* one of these "Free international calls to 100 countries" offers from *ANY* provider that includes mobiles in whatever countries MetroPCS is excluding.

Terminating calls on cells is expensive. People are raving in the DR over MetroPCS. Haitians are wishing for the plan, Colombians are cheering. What does Boost offer but LIES? I was told no taxes I get charged taxes. BS, limited to few countries that have old NExtel Networks and delayed text messaging.
You want more prominent? Why not mention that BOOST reserves the right to terminate customers for excessive usage (around the 8000 minute mark) or force them to a post paid plan. Boost is BRAND - MetroPCS is an actual COMPANY. |
