MetroPCS Intros $5 International Calling Plan

Jun. 29, 2009

MetroPCS is offering unlimited calling to over 100 countries for $5 per month. Their customers will be able to make unlimited international calls to more than 100 countries, including more than 1,000 destinations, without any additional charges.

With MetroPCS service, customers pay by the month, not by the minute, and services do not require a signed contract, deposit or credit check. For an additional $5 a month, unlimited international calling can be added to MetroPCS’ $40, $45 and $50 service plans, including family plans, which already include unlimited long distance service to the 48 continental United States and Puerto Rico. The first month of service is free with the purchase of a phone and there is no activation fee or hidden charges.

“Unlimited international calling at such an affordable rate can dramatically reduce monthly long distance costs and is yet another example of MetroPCS’ commitment to providing industry-leading value to consumers in today’s tough economic climate,” said Roger D. Linquist, president, chief executive officer and chairman of the board of MetroPCS. “MetroPCS is eliminating the worry of high international calling fees, counting minutes and dialing a connecting number, typical of traditional calling cards. With MetroPCS’ international calling, consumers are truly unlimited now more than ever.”

MetroPCS’ service plans range from $30 to $50 per month and allow subscribers to talk all they want, 24-hours-a-day, seven days a week. MetroPCS offers unlimited family plans and MetroPCS Unlimited NationwideSM which allows MetroPCS subscribers to use their affordable, flat-rate, no signed contract service in more than 4,600 cities and towns throughout the continental United States and Puerto Rico. This expanded network is included at no additional charge in MetroPCS’ current $45 and $50 service plans and can be added for $5 per month on other qualified service plans.
