will give customers exactly what they are looking for - an incredible number of
valuable features for virtually half the price of post-paid national wireless
carriers."

MetroPCS continues to offer consumers a variety of cutting-edge plans and
features that are not only affordable but full of value. Most recently, MetroPCS
was the first North American wireless carrier to offer unlimited international

amount of money. With MetroPCS` family plan, families with two to five lines
will be able to enjoy MetroPCS Unlimited NationwideSM service for talk, text and
MetroWEB® for $35 per line.

MetroPCS` service plans range from $30 to $50 per month and allow customers to
talk, text and browse the Internet all they want without ever signing a
