WIRELESS AND MOBILE NEWS

MetroPCS  is now offering what we would call, "Family Group Call" service, GroupLINE, a one-call  solution targeted at families/friends who want to save money  by "cutting the cord" and replacing their landline telephones with wireless phones.

With a regular landline, users in a family could pick up extension phones so that everyone could talk at once. MetroPCS  GroupLINE can replace this function. GroupLINE allows up to five MetroPCS' Family Plan subscribers to receive calls on a shared GroupLINE number while still keeping their individual mobile numbers. 

Callers call the GroupLINE number and reach all of the subscribers on the plan at the same time. With GroupLINE, family members are all connected with each other as well as the incoming caller. There is also a shared GroupLINE voicemail that the subscribers can access. GroupLINE is available for subscribers on MetroPCS' Family Plan for an additional $5 per month.

GroupLINE is available to subscribers on the Family Plan in all MetroPCS markets. You can buy phones and plans with the Wireless and Mobile News coupon-link and get your first month of phone service for free.

Nearly 60 percent of MetroPCS subscribers have already replaced their landline phone with their MetroPCS wireless phone. MetroPCS developed GroupLINE to help families and friends who are looking to cut costs while still staying connected with each other. GroupLINE allows users to talk from their personal wireless phone while allowing them to talk wherever they are located rather than having to be in the same location together.

"GroupLINE was developed with families' needs in mind," said Roger D. Linquist, president, chief executive officer and chairman of the board of MetroPCS. "We are all on-the-go, and we often have news to share with the whole family. With GroupLINE, instead of making numerous calls, everyone can be reached at one time. And in today's economy, GroupLINE offers families the luxury of staying in touch without breaking the bank."

GroupLINE not only furthers MetroPCS' commitment to its subscribers but it also enhances satisfaction with the affordable, unlimited, no signed contract, flat-rate wireless service.

MetroPCS' plans range from $30 to $50 per month and allow subscribers to talk all they want, 24-hours-a-day, seven days a week. Unlike most carriers, MetroPCS does not require a signed contract, which means that consumers can activate service without going through a credit check or paying a deposit.When you buy phones and plans with the Wireless and Mobile News coupon-link and get your first month of phone service for free.
