Re: rip off said by brianiscool:These prices are not impressive. I use MetroPCS which include talk, text, web , GPS and unlimited 411. Plus I have my phone insured through MetroGPS. My grand total is $66 a month after tax. If I want that with T-mobile probably $100 + per month. Maybe I'm just reading that wrong, but wouldn't you be paying $85/mo to T-Mobile for an unlimited plan with insurance? Also, that paying for GPS stuff is weird - T-Mobile doesn't charge for GPS.
So for an extra $19/mo you get much better coverage than Metropcs. I suppose if coverage doesn't matter, whatever.

GPS is free service provided by the US Navy if you have a GPS receiver chip in your device. Don't worry AT&T does the same thing with its customers. AT&T told my friend that he needs to pay monthly for GPS even though I showed him on my phone that GPS will work without a monthly fee....including Google Maps. Needless to say I don't think he believes me. | |

Allentown, PA | AT&T GPS Service is a rip off. Why pay when there are free programs you can use? Google Maps, AmazeGPS, MGMaps, We-Travel. | |

But, judging from carrier mentality I wouldn't doubt that is what they are trained to say when they hear "GPS". | |
