As much as I love my Verizon, it’s hard to beat the deals at Metro PCS. We recently hired an Au Pair and wanted to get her an mobile phone. With 5 people on my old school Verizon Plan(the unlimited data plan), there was no room to add her. I walked into Metro PCS, snagged a smart phone for $ 25, $ 10 activation fee(compared to Verizon’s $ 30), and $ 25 per month for unlimited talk and text. Win! Service was great. It was all done and set-up in minutes. If I ever leave Verizon myself, I will give Metro PCS some serious consideration.
