The convenience of having a landline, and the reason why so many people continue to pay monthly for one (and there are still are a lot who do) is that it provides a single number where a caller can reach the entire family. You just can’t mimic that with a prepaid cell phone. Or can you?
To this point the answer has been no, but a recent development by MetroPCS promises to change the game. They’ve introduced GroupLINE, a service which provides a family with a single number which rings all of their cell phones. This is on top of each individual’s cell phone number.
The best part is that customers, for the most part, can port their old landline number into MetroPCS for their GroupLINE number. So when a relative calls the old house line, she’ll still hear familiar voices on the other end. It’s really just one less new number for everyone to remember — or put in their address books.
Since the ported number will be a cellular one, it will be protected under cellular privacy regulations, while at the same time providing a common number as well. It should assuage those with landlines to stick with their cell plans, and not have to pay a bunch extra to a separate provider to do so. Read more about prepaid cell phones.

Hey all, i want to share with you a brand new method to making money online that is HUGE and very easy to make money. It’s Mobile Marketing.

i have switched back to Verizon contract plan, but have been angry about how much it costs me. i wish i was still with metro. it was way cheaper.
metropcs commercials are really really funny. does anyone know where to find free metropcs ringtones? that would be a huge help.
All of the phones are sort of low end, but I like that since I can afford them!!! I like to save money and metropcs no longer really seems to work in my area of town. i may have to reconsider which pay as you go phone i purchase.
the best metro pcs phone was the samsung finesse. i now have the caliber, which is new and revamped, but i still prefer the older finesse r810c model. it’s a classic in my eyes and beauty is in the beholder.
