largely that is the case. I am unsure if they plan to offer more. Metropcs doesnt even have a contract its month to month prepaid flat rate unlimited. You cant roam between different metropcs markets either. It depends on how you use it. If you are a business doing this for some fixed station calling platform or something (generally their contract states you cant call 24/7 but dosent seem to quantify what is too much) then hte fact that you cant leave the local area isnt a problem. If you are a traveling sales person then it might be a problem quite often. The $3/mo unlimited international SMS with metropcs has some potential as well - just that the sender information would be that of the phone and not an individual or whateever. -- Trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com Bret McDanel UK +44 870 340 4605 Germany +49 801 777 555 3402 US +1 360 207 0479 or +1 516 687 5200 FreeWorldDialup: 635378 http://www.sacaug.org/ Sacramento Asterisk Users Group
