you do know its 2013 right?

Caloba · Sep 6, 2013

with a name like 'telegraph' he must be a time traveler

Fox Mulder · Sep 6, 2013

Um yeah try going to a Metro store and asking for that deal, see what they say.
Maybe if you pull up in a DeLorean-

telegraph · Sep 6, 2013

Remember the promotion is in store only.
Existing customers can not change to the new promotion.
However, if an existing customer has a line of service or more, the existing lines will count towards the attainment of the 4 for $100 or 5 for $125.

*Note i couldn't change the title of the thread. I don't know the true end for the promotion*

What is required for service with MetroPCS?

When I first signed up 5 years ago, you didn't have to show your ID or give them your social security number.

Is this still the case?

I think it's a pulse and a wallet, not necessarily in that order.

I just want to point out that this is the $40 plan so the data is limited to 500MB of 4G data each month and it then drops down to 2G speeds which are about 100 Kbps. Just thought I would let everyone know.

Gman9831 · Sep 9, 2013

In the T&C

Plans include all features of $40 monthly service plan

Not false advertising at all. Subscribers will receive unlimited talk text and data. For the first 500 mb the speeds will be 4G. After that, the speeds will be throttled. Nowhere do they say they will cut off your internet.

Gman9831 · Sep 9, 2013

In the terms and conditions in which you have to agree to to get on the plan in says it has all the features of the $40 plan

I see. Well this seems like a good deal for some people, but for others it might not cut. I did a measurement of how much data I used in a month which was 357Mb(checking mobile email, mobile web, no streaming) but i have 3G plan so it could be very different, if I can switch to this or newer plans.

Bumper This offer only for new customers...

nintendo4 · Sep 9, 2013

What if this idea works. I currently have 5 lines paying $195 dollars, so lets say I port out to another carrier that is not Tmobile or MVNO of tmobile; for like a month or two. Then I come back, buy new phones or byod. I only have 1 4GLTE phone on the account now.
Can I bring that GS3 phone that I had with metro 2 months ago (Possible a byod) is it useless, or I need all need new phones?
Is it possible to lose phone numbers in this process?
Will I qualify for 4 for $100 line offer?
2 LG F3, 1 GS3 or GS4, 1 Nexus4
I am just trying to get some insight.

It will work, and you don't even have to wait 1-2 months. I bought a $20 card for an old Virgin Mobile phone to port-out, then ported-in a few days later with another old phone we had laying around.

Is your GS3 the GSM (blue) version? The promo is good for Metro-branded GSM phones and BYOD, so if it's the CDMA (white) version, you could port-out all 5 lines but you'll need to get a GSM phone to replace the GS3. Then you could port-in all 5 lines for $125.

Just remember that each line will only get its first 500MB of data at up to 4G speed.

Thanks for the information. That fifth line is temporary, Yea its the white version of the GS3, but he wants the GS4, but if he changes his mind I will just kick him off the family plan and he pays on his own line. Then I do the port over to Virgin and in few days the rest of the 3 lines port back to metro to pay $90 per month.

You can still have the GS3 on the family plan, it just wouldn't get the promo rate; the GS3 would get the regular $5 discount, while the other 3 lines would be $25 each.

Slickinator · Sep 11, 2013

Yeah the 4 for 100 only works if all 4 have GSM phones, I was like so close to getting an S4 but the rest of my family have CDMA phones

strutter67 · Sep 16, 2013

Yeah well my area metro store are down to only 8 phones to select from on their web sites.

averagewonder · Oct 5, 2013
