Re: rip off

LOL, man only if you were here in my store to see how many people stop using metroPCS after a month of wasting their money just to switch to boost. Coverage is a downside for metroPCS.

Boost's network sucks worse than MetroPCS's for data, and Boost doesn't have as cool a selection of phones as MetroPCS.

Yup you mean because of the gaps between the purple "push pins".....
Wyoming, Montana, North and South Dakota get the "no service at all in 4 contiguous states" award.

KEY: Purple Pins = Coverage

I think the point here is that their name "metro" is a clever way to say:
"Not available if you don't live on an Interstate Highway..."
This map actually makes their network look more ubiquitous than it actually is. Last week they had a clearer map that really showed how "geographically specific" their network really is.

EDIT: I just checked my home area. Guess what? No coverage. The Salmon/pink color means future expansion.

Being a "national" carrier has NEVER been Revol/MetroPCS/Cricket's business model. In exchange for the world's longest range cordless phone (not a cellphone), you get much cheaper and better plans. You trade suburban/rural coverage for much cheaper urban coverage.

True, as long as people understand that. You make a very valid point.
