"When does merging two companies make for more marketplace competition? When they aren't big enough to compete with the other giants in the industry. At least that's the logic behind the argument that Sprint should be allowed to acquire T-Mobile. I'm wondering what this means for MetroPCS users like me now that we're T-Mobile users by the previous merger."

No, it was correct. I don't use my phone much, so even with that I have a surplus.
They do the thing where text messages and data are basically considered fractions of minutes, but using Google Voice to forward the calls solves any problem I'd have there.

Err.. well, technically 400/$40, but you know.

Like all pre-paid deals, your minutes are only good for a certain period of time (generally 3 months), meaning you get 4 for the year and enter a new access combo every so often. A minor inconvenience, but one I'll take to saving literally a thousand of dollars every year. They, like most pre-paid companies, also let balances roll over.
