Metro PCS 30 dollar plan

[bg1287]

So I went into a Metro dealer yesterday and asked him if I could activate my Samsung Galaxy Light phone under their 30 dollar plan and he said no. He told me that the 30 dollar plan is only available with certain phones and this isn't one of them.

Is that true? That seems a little bogus to me. I don't see anything anywhere else really about such a restriction.

Its only for non LTE phones and it is very easy to see the restriction

Besides that with only a 1GB limit for 4G data before throttling it wouldn't be very useful.

Some people use their phones as a phone, go figure,

So the 4G only doesn't mean much. 1GB is good enough
Unlimited voice + text for $30 is still a good deal for TMobile signal areas

I wish I would've known this before signing on the $50 plan to waive the activation fee, I asked the rep 5 times if I could switch back to the $30 plan after signing for this one and each time he said I could. I then called metro last night and they told me I couldn't, then he also told me the wrong amount I would be paying each month, he misquoted on the insurance. The guy couldn't even read or write, we had to spell everything out for him and this took 2= hours when it should take 30mins. So ridiculous that he tells me this and its the complete opposite.

Make sure they don't tell you your phone is ten years old.

I am sure he can read and right, but can you tell me what happened (so I can avoid doing it to my customers)
