"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."

    I know, I was incredibly leery about it at first too, but I have a phone and it takes calls, so that's about as validated as I'll get.

    They apparently rent time on Verizon's network, which is (ironically?) cheaper than going with the deals Verizon offers. Not sure why, but I don't complain.

    Nah, it's not a matter of being leery.They apparently use Javascript to control their stylesheets, so when you go without noscript, instead of seeing 29.95 (Sup tag isn't supported here), the front page says 500MB data + 1200 minutes for $2995.
