For a couple of weeks I've been getting messages on my Metro-PCS cell phone telling me that I needed to go to a Metro-PCS store and upgrade my phone. I was sure that I was going to be charged big bucks for the replacement phone. Well I finally went in today and to my surprise the new phone didn't cost me anything and my plan stays the same at $25/mo. unlimited talk and text only. Now that they are part of T-mobile all of their phones have to be compatible with the signals transmitted by the T-mobile towers. All I had to do was turn in my old phone.

I also found out that I might be able to get a part time job at a Metro-PCS store. From what I have seen they surely don't do much and the pay just might be enough to help me get by.

That sounds good Bob, but unless you really need unlimited time, the deal I have with AT&T is probably hard to beat: I pay $100 a year and that gives me 1000 minutes in that year(which is plenty for me). That works out to about $8.33 a month.
