So we've been with Verizon since the silicon cooled off and had a family plan for the past 10 yrs., but in the spirit of FOSS, I am thinking very seriously of kicking Verizon to the curb. I want an Android phone and LTE might also be nice, but not an absolute requirement esp. as I intend to pull nearly all my data from WiFi. Ergo, I REFUSE to pay the required $15 or $30 extortion fee for the required data plans at Verizon. Furthermore, I find their $350/line cancellation fee unconscionable, not that I have any intention of cancelling while under contract, but again it goes against the FOSS grain. When it comes to phone service, I am in agreement with Aaron regarding the corporapists!<div>
<br></div><div>Now, with the preamble finished, I am leaning seriously towards going with Metro PCS, they have LTE (though LTE service ends ~ 5mi from my home) and CDMA Android phones for what seem reasonable prices. They also have $40, $50 and $60 all inclusive unltd plans. The one thing I am concerned about is [lack of] coverage, where Verizon has always been top notch--their coverage is great, but it ought to be, cause you sure pay for it! </div>
<div><br></div><div>My question is does anybody on the list have any experience with Metro?</div><div><br></div><div>MG,</div><div>GC</div>
