According to here, Metro started in '94 as General Wireless, Inc.

Edit: 'Course, it also shows that the Name was changed to MetroPCS in 2001.

Yeah 2001. I remember wanting to use it so bad because it was so freaking cheap and back then minutes and messages was the only thing that mattered and it was unlimited across the board. But the service was only for metro Atlanta and I was 1 County below the cutoff even though Im in Metro Atlanta. 6 years later they finally make it down to me and I jumped ship so fast I didn't have time to grab a life jacket. Stayed with them until this year. I loved everything Metro had to offer me but times change and interests change and I decided I wanted to choose my own phone and I wanted faster data speeds.

Regardless what anyone says, Metro PCS has been a great company and has always offered great prices. Hopefully they will step up their data speeds and start offering real world LTE speeds instead of choking it off. If they do this, they will greatly increase their presence in the mobile community. Hopefully one day being that they combined with T mobile, they will also add a BYOD program. Could you imagine? BYOD on Metro PCS paying $50 a month all the while getting REAL world LTE speeds. You'd be dumb NOT to sign up with them.
 
Yeah in Miami the first I remember was a little gray Kyocera .

Used to drop a LOT of calls- I remember using a long piece of antenna wire clipped to the phone antenna and the drapery rods to prevent this inside my apt. on important calls.

This was maybe 2000 or 2001 ....

So if you come back right when they do that ^^ call me an optimist but if everything goes as planned i see you coming back mid-late 2013
 
im pretty sure the huewii came out before the optimus. but i believe they released another version (a skinned version or something) of the huewii after the optimus
 
I believe the Motorola VE440 was my first phone with MetroPCS.
Mp3 player + it was the best looking phone they had at the time.
 
I still have the nokia with the white led on the top! Lol i hoard all my phones..my fav one was the nokia 6265i i remember feelingnlike i was such a boss because that was like THE phone to have because of all of the customization you could do.
 
It was, in fact, the Kyocera 2235
