Anyone use MetroPCS in NY?

I am thinking of switching to the $25 metro pcs plan of unlimited talk and text. It sounds too cheap to be true. Anyone tried metro pcs? Did you have okay service? Is it worth it, or is it bad service and you get what you pay for?

I had metropcs in ny. Yes, you get what you pay for. Definitely does not compare to other more expensive carriers. The question is, is it worth it to pay more money and have better signal and service, or pay much less and have some occasional problems. With most service problems I could restart my phone and fix signal problems. Will it bother you if you have to do that in the middle of a phone call occasionally? Very rarely, problems lasted longer, like when traveling to Monsey sometimes.

For me it was still worth it, but might not be for everyone.

we use it on our trips to NY since we can pay by the month. The only problem I had found was that inside some buildings the reception was not great but otherwise in the basement of a house it was fine. And in the department stores it was fine.

Save some money!
