I have considered it before but the fact of reality with metro/T-mo in my area is that you lose almost all signal when leaving the city in which you bought the device.. I use Boost cuz I do construction and Nextel had towers in places most ppl only wished existed (but got bought out by Sprint) and T-mo is virtually non existent in my area anyways. I'd give it more thought if it had better coverage in my area cuz the new unlimited tether is definitely a game changer! [emoji41]Boost is Cdma which probably has a GSM option like Sprint. I could be wrong, but I think boost uses Sprint towers. You should really consider using MetroPCS Boost Mobile is awful. In my opinion
