V. Barbarino Posted October 10 Report Share Posted October 10 When I call tampa, landline or cell my number won't show up. Half the company says it's a tech problem but now they are saying their caller id won't work long distance. They define long distance if you have to dial a 1. Now I called my parents in NJ and it works fine but not Tampa! WTF is going on! anyone have any issues??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest pod Posted October 10 Report Share Posted October 10 Metro recycles their numbers very frequently. It is a common problem. I'm on T-Mobile as well. Been on it for six years, never an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamikaze1414779018 Posted October 11 Report Share Posted October 11 All of you are getting ripped off ;DI have Sprint and have used them for 5 yearsSwitched my phone # two times when I have moved, and have gotten more minutes each time, beceause they tell me I have to cancel my old "Contract" and get a new one, but then I tell them I will just go to another company, and then I ask for a Manager in the Retention Deptartment and get them to give me the best deal, for the same Price or $40.00 a month that I singed up for in 2000 ;DIts all about working the system. Now I have 1500 anytime minutes, free long distance, text, and unlimited nights and weeekends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I called my parents in NJ and it works fine but not Tampa! WTF is going on! anyone have any issues???I thought only teenagers and elementary school kids use Metro PCS. I didn't even know you could dial long distance with it... is that for collect calls only? Cingular here... love the roll over minutes.... great selection of new cool phones and free cing2cing calls. I was on sprint for a number of years but their service quality is pretty bad in my area and their network sucks... + not a good selection of phones. I also have verizon for data... now those guys are kicking ass with the EVDO service. Metro PCS is as ghetto as cellular service gets.

Guest jamu Posted October 11 Report Share Posted October 11 T-mobile sidekick is where its all at. I have had it and everything works perfectly on my caller id. And I have had excellent customer service when I have called in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest web_norah Posted October 11 Report Share Posted October 11 and there goes your answer........Metro Piece of Shit:if you're talking that much on cell phone and part of it's for business and you aren't getting $ from the employer, i'd deduct it at the end of the year in your income tax, then get a better customer service/ cell phone company and forget the hassle. i had Cingular, ATT and Sprint before....poor customer service or crap phones.....then switched to T Mobile, and that's it for me.

Guest trancepriest Posted October 11 Report Share Posted October 11 Metro PCS?LOL. ;D I bet you they use another service... because they couldn't travel in the U.S. on Metro PCS. Metro PCS only provides service for a few cities in Georgia, Florida and California. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V. Barbarino Posted October 11 Author Report Share Posted October 11 Years ago, ghetto pcs was ragged on, but now I have the best service i've ever had with any cell phone including nextel and cingular...Hog told me he saw a mpcs store in tampa the other day but 1 month ago exit 179 my phone got no signal, so this must be recent and their map shows tampa has now got coverage. From their site. MetroPCS had 1.5 million subscribers in these markets. In 2004, MetroPCS acquired licenses for the greater Tampa/Sarasota area and plan to launch service in this market in fourth quarter of 2005. As a result of this acquisition, MetroPCS now holds 21 licenses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest pod Posted October 12 Report Share Posted October 12 It might be great for local voice/text service, but I don't see data plans, global roaming plans, or anything of that nature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
