I've been thinking and i might get out now, buy an s3 out right and go to straight talk.

I don't like what I'm reading about this merge. The comments at least from people that know a lot more than i do. It doesn't look good for metro users but also, thus could be a couple years from now and the s3 will be obsolete.

Its going to be a pretty good merge for both partnership ;)
 
Just walked out of the corporate store in brandon,FL. This is how it went down:

Me: just one question...when is the s3 hitting the store.
Employee: yeah..not allowed to discuss it.
Me: oh rly? Its top secret like that?
Employee: we aren't allowed to discuss anything about the phone..at all.
Me: don't you guys work on commission? You can have my # and get an easy sale..just call me the moment you have them.
Employee: sir..we really can't do that here..and we don't discuss anything to do with the phone.

At that point I just left lol. So damn frustrating!!!

Until they give you 6 months to trade in your phone for one of theirs and force you into a contact. But this is also years away.

All they wanted was the spectrum and they got it. They can do whatever they want cause their customers well be thrilled so they ain't going anywhere. Do what if they lose half of metros 9 mill. Haha. That's a pale comparison to the 35+ million they already have that will be even more happy. Seriously doubt they will bend over for 9 million people to stay our go. But we've got plenty of time to make up our minds and prepare.by then the s6 will be out. Lol

The statement that contains this?

"However, until the transaction is complete, MetroPCS and T-Mobile will be, and continue to operate as, independent companies"



 UNTIL the transaction is complete. Hmmmm. So what happens after that? Exactly.

I talked to a sales rep today at my local MetroPCS store and while they didn't mention anything about price they said they could get it this Friday. Usually they get new phones every Friday so the rep said there was a good chance.

I'm due for an upgrade in November with Verizon, but I've had it with paying astronomical bills and losing unlimited data. Metro wasn't even going to be an option until the SIII came into play. It's now a must own for me.

I also read somewhere on here that the SIII was coming out on Oct 4. but its a funny coincidence that as of TODAY Oct 3, T Mobile and MetroPCS are exchanging/sharing freq.. thus expanding each other's spectrum... JUST IN TIME TO LAUNCH OUT THE SIII?????? so explains how the phone will work on Metro's Network. AHA!!!! no flashing needed playah!:D

If it can be unlocked and accept a Sim card.

Your are wrong. It does not have to accept a SIM card. It will work on the T-Mobile LTE network because it will have the same band spectrum as the MetroPCS LTE network. People stop worrying.... You are all confused by the wrong reasons.

So you can get a T-Mobile GS3 and it will work on Metro?

Chill. Lmao.

Read above me.
 
after this merger i just feel like buying a tmobile s3 or note 2 (oct 24th) on craigs for 400 and use tmobile 5gb 100 min prepaid.i called several metro pcs in boston.nobody picked up the phone lol.one store picked up and said s3 its just a rumour.lol
 
So this may be a stupid question, but if I buy an S3 from Metro would I be able to take it to Verizon or Sprint and have full use of it there?

I'd much rather stay with Metro, but I may have to be moving around the country soon and mostly to areas Metro just doesn't cover.
