Just Because it’s Not from A Big Name Carrier, Doesn’t Mean It’s No Good!

The Truth About Metro PCS
I’ll tell you what. Metro PCS is about one of the best carriers I have dealt with within the last few years in my area. I live in Philadelphia and Metro PCS has become real big in the last year here, offering some of the best phones and unbeatable plans on the market.

Think about it. I am sure they have better plans now, but when I got my phone, one of the candy bar style Kyocera phones-not a smartphone-for free!-a year ago, I paid $4 USD in taxes and walked away with an unlimited plan with a month free. The plan was for $40 dollars a month for unlimited Talk ad Text. Plus taxes, of course. So my total monthly bill comes to about $48 and change. That’s it. there can be no better plan than that. Even the Data plans are unlimited and cost about $60-70 a month. Why on Earth would I want to switch?

Now On To The Good Stuff-Samsung Code-by Metro PCS
One of the newer, not talked about great phones by Samsung is called the Code. It is of the Smartphone influence and has all the great features any other smartphone has. So why was it not talked about by all? Because it’s a part of a company that is not considered a traditional carrier. Metro PCS is a month to month and therefore doesn’t count when it comes to comparing plans. I think it should. Metro Does offer Smartphones, so why shouldn’t it?

What’s the Deal With the Phone?
Well, as the PCMag reviewer said, it is no iPhone that’s for sure. But if you are in the market for a Smartphone and you can’t afford one of the “name barnd’ the Samsung code is the best of the “cut rate” phones. It has a 2 megapixel camera, screen size of 320×240, a full QWERTY keyboard, Bluetooth and a 3.5 mm jack. It comes with the WinMo 6.1 platform and the IE browser, but don’t despair… The Browser can esily be changed up for the SkyFire. Windows marketplace for mobile can be downloaded for free too. the Code also has 667 MHz ARM11 application processor and a Li Ion – 1480 mAh battery with from 3-6 hours of talk time and 12 days of standby time. (he difference depends on who you believe, Samsung or PC Mag). Also, the GPS system is free, because it si Metro PCS and is called Metro Navigator and has voice prompting and traffic and business alerts. The biggest downfall is there is no WiFi, but that is only because Metro has yet to put up the money to upgrade their netwrok yet. Overall, it si a usable phone. Not the best, but workable.

And the Verdict Is?
Well, it may not be there greatest phone, but it is the best that Metro Has to offer. But you know what? I dare you to find a company tat will give you a free phone with NO CONTRACT and only pay $50 a month for an unlimited plan! it will never happen anywhere else. SO for all those out there who wish they had a smartphone but can’t afford the big boys, this is the one for you. PC Mag says it is the best on the market, for a cut rate plan that is. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain guys, it is a great phone for the money and you know it!
