Sale metro pcs 30 dollars a month unlimited everything including 4g

$30-plan $79-phone
The $30 plan is a promotion for the regular priced $40 plan: unlimited everything. 4g 250mb and after that unlmtd 3g. The $79 phone is the Coolpad Quattro after the mail in rebate. My wife had it but we had issues so I bought her the lg motion $149. So far she likes it!
You do have to buy and activate a new phone to get the $30 plan. IMHO its one of the best value plans out there.

Where did you see the $30 sale?
I don't see it on their website and I sent s/o to a branch store and they never heard of that...

Can you please provide a link or some sort of source of substantiation..
TIA

Thanks for the link.  I already have a phone, is buying a metro PCS phone, really the only way to get this deal?

Seriously, I didn't see it on the homepage or the page with all their plans (though I should admit, I was browsing on a mobile).

Next time look on a computer before making such statements. And yes the only way to get this plan is by purchasing a new phone and activating it, both at the store.

No hard feelings. BTW you could do what I did. I first bought the Quattro Coolpad on the $40 plan before the $30 promo. When the $30 promo came out I purchased the LG Motion 4G ( a much better phone) and activated the $30 plan. I posted the Coolpad on Ebay. I got lucky and the Coolpad was showing lines on the screen so I got a brand 'new' refurbished phone which I can sell for more on Ebay  . Interesting note: Without insurance; if something goes wrong with your phone during the first month you get a refurbished/new (they don't know) for free and after that its $10 ...not bad!!

@yossi4k, so did you loose your first number?

@yossi4k, so did you loose your first number?

If you meant 'was I able to switch my old number to the metro plan' the answer is no. Metro PCS doesn't allow you to use an existing metro number on a different / new account. The only way to keep your number would be to port it to a different carrier like ATT go phone then port it back.

Metro PCS just announced that they are slashing the price on their s3 from $499 to $399 and it would appear that the s3 would work with the $30 unlimited (250 mb at LTE) plan

Just buy the Nexus 4 straight from Google (once it's back in stock) and get T-mobile $50 plan. T-mobile 4G is about as fast as sprint's LTE anyway...
