Metro does prorate you when you switch plans the difference between the two and how much longer you have left in your month.
Lets say you went from the $25 dollar plan and you switched to the $55 and its half way through the month, Metro will prorate you $15 since you upgraded halfway through the month which will be added to when you pay your bill. When you pay your billl it will be $15+$55 so $70.
This way metro doesn't lose any money since you switched your plan. It can be confusing for some but thats my best way of explaining it.
Both my parents switch he'd to the promotional plan, and they weren't charged for switching. My dad came from the $70 and my mom from the $50.
ok this is a good discussion i guess we all can save money if we buy the phone without activation and i know those idiots were lying when they said oh metro will charge u regadless. so for all those getting a new phone or especially the s3 buy the phone and do not get it activate it there at the store instead do it yourself at home via *228
When I got the motion I told the guy that I will activate the phone my self and he was like we can't do that if you buy at the store the phone must be activated before you leave the store
i knew it these dealers are trying to earn extra money shoot the s3 i swear will be activated by me at home screw these lying dealers and not all dealers are like that but for for the majority.
So due to my finances I had to downgrade back to the $40 for me n my wife and I got prorated and have to pay $50 for month of Oct. I know I only get 250 MB a month which sucks.. but what counts against my data? I hear many different things when I ask.. I called metro 5 times they just keep telling me I can upgrade and get more lol but they are kinda slow lil.
if you have great 3g coverage in your area you can switch your 4g to 3g and pretty much your unlimted. i used to do that when i was on the old $50 plan and i would use up my 2.5gb bandwidth in 2 weeks. my 3g average out here where i live 400-600 kbps which is fast enough to surf download stuff from google play market and check emails even tether lol. best part by using the app anycut to do it you dont need a rooted phone to do it.
The w when you say everything what you mean by that? I'm hearing surfing the web counts now, I no downloading, uploading, YouTube, but what about weather Widgets that update daily n stuff like that? I sound dumb guys sorry but I'm getting mixed messages from everyone.
Seems like AnyCut has been removed from the Play store. Google search quickly turns up copies to download, but out of excessive caution, I did not try it.
