MetroPCS has been going up against some very stiff competition in the prepaid cell phone plan market. Most notable, Boost Mobile has been the thorn in the company’s side.
Now, it looks as if MetroPCS may be forced to sell or create a merger, because even after adding (or because of adding) close to 700,000 subscribers in Eastern U.S. markets, the company can’t seem to make ends meet or make a big leap in profits. MetroPCS is going to have to make a move due to competition.
The news that Wal-Mart will be selling TracFone’s Straight Talk brand of prepaid phones, which are well priced and attractive since they operate as an MNVO on Verizon’s vaunted network, certainly is not going to be helping MetroPCS. It’s a shame since the company built part of its reputation on low prices and flat-rate plans.
In other news, MetroPCS is unleashing a new phone into markets. The new handset is called Huawei M750 and boasts a touch screen with a virtual keypad and a 1.3 megapixel camera. It retails at $199.
Business must carry on I guess.
MetroPCS–regardless of its business woes–has some very competitive plans that many people have snatched up recently as a way of saving money on their cell phone bills.
