MetroPCS & LTE Combine

Wall Street reports fourth quarter earnings of MetroPCS in 2008 to be the highest ever in company history. When it came to increasing subscriber numbers, MetroPCS hit it out of the park with its $50 unlimited non-contract price to entice those savvy consumers out there worried about the economy and budget. Right now, MetroPCS has a total of 5.4 million subscribers, 5th place in the world of mobile operators. T-Mobile with 32.8 million subscribers, Sprint with 49.3 million, AT&T with 77 million, and Verizon with 72.1 million.

In other news, MetroPCS might be the first mobile operator to offer LTE…Wait what? Without a smartphone in the market, how can it even utilize this huge pipe? My guess is that the company will be releasing some new phones this Q3 from a secret Canadian company to offer a smartphone and pc card. Expect MetroPCS to start advertising in 2010

Oh no! I never even tried WiMax…sad

T-Mobile Shows Some Love

Maybe there’s something worth waiting for at the end of your 2-year contract with T-Mobile. With only $50 per month for unlimited voice, $10 for unlimited texting and $25 for unlimited data, you can get this plan with no additional contract commitment and save moolah. Let’s just hope other carriers start a price war and get this down even lower. This plan starts on March 1^st, 2009 nationwide so call up your local t-mobile rep and get this started. This would traditionally set you back at around $150 so its a substantial discount. I pay about $80 per month for 400 minutes and 200 text messages and unlimited data at AT&T.

I hate contracts…
