these stores are multiplying by the day in philly. what is the deal? the concept seems to be that while they offer a great deal in unlimited talk/text for about $40-$50 a month, their coverage is limited to specific cities. my understanding is that they lease cell phone towers and, unlike a verizon or at&t, do not have leases outside of major areas. it seems like a great deal, so long as you don't travel? anyone have personal experience....my verizon bill is not recession affected and metro pcs now has blackberrys.

the current urban legend is that metro pcs is owned by the police and they use the phones to listen to people and track there locations.
I used Metro years ago in the Bay Area. It was horrible. Limited service and text messaging NEVER worked. I would not recommend it.
