Of course Metro has to have roaming agreements, whether they tell you or not.

Well, if you can find out for me who they are and additional information i will be happy to take a look for you. i dont really deal with small companies like that, especially not public ones that i can get my hands on their numbers.

well don't waste your time. i just wanted to know. it seems to me between qwest, cricket, and metro there has got to be something great enough to keep these supersmall companies alive.

i was wondering about metro the most because their coverage is scattered and they clearly state the run their own operation ground up and are expanding. but in very very small stages as if they truely are building their own network.

i wonder if the cost of upgreading to a newer technology will hurt a small company like this on the part of affordability.

but hey i'll do some harder research and see if i can find anything.

🤭 sorry didn't do my spell check

As I said I don’t really to do much research on the smaller companies unless someone has or they have actually information I can look at whether I can get my hands on or if the person can get any information. I tend to not look at those guys because they are small and not really worth my time to do some research and analysis their operations. Well those companies are sort of mvno’s but not really. Most of them lease and pay for capacity use on the bigger boys’ networks or perhaps they have a small network but they pay for roaming which in turn increases their coverage.

The smaller companies could do that, however, in order to survive they have to link with a bigger company whether it is financially or by the network and infrastructure...

have you seen the coverage map for this company? if you look at it i guarantee you'll see that they indeed have no roaming agreements. it looks as if you took evey tower they have you could barely cover all of texas.

but sure i'll do some surfing and give you a holler if i find any thing on this company. and how they survive.

To be frank, I haven’t looked at this company at all because as I said I don’t follow little companies. As I said before, it is very hard if you are a small company to do it all yourself without any affiliation with the bigger boys it is just impossible and not sound for them. I don’t know one company who doesn’t have any affiliation with another company.

I take your word for it, however, it is just not a business sense to do it all yourself and not have any agreements what so ever.

Yea, do some searching and find out as much as you can and we can start having a dialogue about it.

I have just been looking at it while I have been posting and the only thing I can see is stuff from 2004 and 2003 and back because perhaps they were a...

thanks. i will get back to ya.

Welcome. did you find anything yet?

If you have any questions feel free to ask as i work for the company . I am a asst manager for a sales/service center in the south fl market.

I only skeemd through this topic but we are going to be offering roaming . It is gonna be called travel talk . Data is in the process as well. It is going to be test marketed in dallas/detroit markets first.

I have a question for metrogod I have a samsung sch a645 phone and when I try to send a text message it turns my phone off and I cant receive messages any more and it won't tell me when I have a new voice mail. It started doing this when I was typing a tex and my battery went dead when I got it back on all my messages were gone and it turned my phone when I tried to go to create new messages. do you know of anything I can try before I drive way across town to the service center. thank you for your response missjnew

My friend had a problem similar to yours.Wheneven she would go to Text Messaging her phone shut off.Trade it in for a new phone is your only option i wouldn't get the same phone if i were you.If you want another entry level phone get a 7052 or the 2125i both are 99$ and are good quality phones.
