I’m switching over to a prepaid cell phone service without the stupid long-term contract. I’m currently considering Virgin Mobile and MetroPCS. I’m in Los Angeles.
Virgin Mobile has outstanding customer service. Their phones are nicer and affordable.
The unlimited plans from MetroPCS are simply too awesome, but their phones are ridiculously expensive. I’ve also heard that their services are awful.
So I’m looking for advice and recommendations from people who have had experience with both or either company.
Which would you recommend: Virgin Mobile or MetroPCS?
Also, are cell phones from Virgin Mobile and MetroPCS compatible with each others?
Both companies use CDMA networks.
Virgin Mobile reps told me that their phones are not compatible, and I MUST buy and use their phones.
MetroPCS said otherwise. MetroPCS told me that I would just have to bring a compatible CDMA handset from another company into a store, and they would ”flash” it for $30.
Does anyone here know who’s right and who’s wrong?
