For all of those who say $70 per subscriber isn't enough to keep a carrier going, you're half right. This excessive debt load is why it's difficult for Sprint to turn a profit.

There's no doubt at all that a company with less debt could very easily turn a profit at those rates.

You are entirely correct. Sprint is the only carrier that includes unlimited mobile calls, unlimited text messaging, and unlimited included data services for a add line for a fee of only $19.99 and a subscriber rate of .40 cents for government fee's.

That is basically screwing them over because you cant turn a profit with that. Sigh

Best of luck to them however I do believe that they will turn this around. 😎

don't forget the $10 for smartphone too. i mean who'd want to use a feature phone if you got all that for $19.99?

While I'm happy you agree with me I don't think you get the point. Metro PCS has 4 lines for $100 with unlimited everything. Why are they able to offer this? Because they have an operation without all of the overhead or debt (although they do have substantial debt).

It sounds like a good deal but where I live in Fort Myers, FL. Metro seriously sucks. Some people are lucky to get 2 bars. Calls drop like the stock market. The web connection runs equal to edge on a good day.

i totally agree with that statement, how many times do you have to call MPCS cust service to have the service that your supposed to be paying for? granted they have cheap plans but their service is so poor, and phones are so substandard that it feels like their gonna break apart when your using them...

Well Metro PCS doesnt give you a third of the coverage Sprint does. Also Metro PCS has like 3 cities with 4G so um you get what you pay for basically. 🙂
