CNET editors' take
- Reviewed on: 06/07/2007
Editor's note: Because evaluating wireless coverage requires experience with the network in a wide variety of physical locations, CNET does not rate wireless carriers. We can, however, tell you everything you need to know about the major carriers. We invite your feedback and ratings in our user opinions section; the more input we get from around the U.S., the better our users can evaluate coverage at a national level.
Serving 4 million customers in select markets in Georgia, Florida, Texas, Michigan, and California, Dallas-based MetroPCS is a CDMA carrier that offers unlimited minutes as a feature of all its calling plans. Also, it doesn't require a contract from any customer, and it doesn't place restrictions on the time of day you call. Yet there is a trade-off, as many basic services like voice mail and caller ID can cost extra. Like other regional carriers, MetroPCS coverage roams onto other carrier networks outside its home area. As such, its suited best for users who make most calls locally. Its handset roster tends toward no-frills models, and it does not carry smartphones. Available features include e-mail, text and multimedia messaging, instant messaging, wireless Internet, and a mobile mapping service from MapQuest.
