I've used Metro PCS for about 2 years now. No problems at all. The coverage is good, but then again, I don't venture out of the metroplex very often.

Worthless outside of the Metroplex...so if you plan to use it only around town it's ok..

We used it for a couple of years. Twice I paid my bill with online banking on time, and their accounting did not post my payment until I was "late". They cut your service off instantly if you are late paying. In each case I had to make multiple trips to their office with paper copies to prove that I paid on time, and they screwed up. Service was off for a couple of days in each case. Since my wife basically uses cell in case of emergency or some need (believe it or not she rarely uses her cell), this was unacceptable to me.

We canceled and moved to the no-contract service with AT&T Go, is about $10 cheaper per month, and no-problem-os.

YMMV
