Starting at just $40 per month, all three 4G LTE rate plans offer affordability, flexibility and predictability with unlimited nationwide talk, text and Web browsing, with all applicable taxes and regulatory fees included. With the $50 and $60 service plans, consumers have more data access service choices to better fit their actual usage of certain streaming audio and video content, real-time Internet gaming, music and video downloads and other media applications. MetroPCS' other current service plans remain unchanged and continue to offer unlimited talk, text and Web browsing services.
Each of the three 4G LTE service plans offers unique options and features:
-- The $40 service plan offers unlimited talk, text, 4G Web browsing with
unlimited YouTube access.
-- The $50 service plan includes the same unlimited talk, text, 4G Web
services and unlimited YouTube access as the $40 plan. Additional
features include international and premium text messaging, turn-by-turn
navigation with MetroNAVIGATOR(TM), ScreenIT, mobile instant messaging,
corporate e-mail and 1 GB of additional data access, with premium
features available through MetroSTUDIO(TM) when connected via Wi-Fi,
including audio capabilities to listen and download music and access to
preview and trial video content.
-- The $60 service plan provides the same premium features as the $50 plan,
plus unlimited data access and MetroSTUDIO premium content such as 18
video-on-demand channels and audio downloads.
"Our customers told us they wanted more video, more sharing of their content and more Web browsing capabilities - they want to have it all with the value and no annual contract that only MetroPCS can deliver," said Roger D. Linquist, president, CEO and chairman of MetroPCS. "Our 4G LTE network can deliver unlimited voice and mobile broadband data services and, with these new service plans, consumers are in the driver's seat on how much additional data access and real-time entertainment content they want to pay for on a monthly basis."
The new 4G LTE rate plans are available in the nine metropolitan areas where MetroPCS currently offers 4G LTE services, including Boston, Dallas-Fort Worth, Detroit, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, New York City, Philadelphia, Sacramento and San Francisco. MetroPCS plans to expand its 4G LTE services into more metropolitan areas in 2011, including Atlanta, Jacksonville, Miami, Orlando and Tampa, and will continue the build-out of its existing 4G LTE metropolitan areas through the year.
