That isn't unlimited. Unless you have PAM on your plan, have fun convincing Sprint you were using gigs worth of data on your Centro.

There are definitely better options. If you don't care for 4G, here's one for $40/month, for unlimited (no 5GB cap) data. It will launch any day now.

Considering you can stream music/TV on the Centro it shouldn't be too hard.
I've been doing it for years without ever having an issue.

I don't mean to jinx you, but the interwebs are full of reports of people who had their plans shut down for abusing PAM. I'm not saying you abuse it, I don't really know what your usage is like.

I've done 100s of gigs on Verizon, the only thing that ever happened was I called them once about vcast or something, and they said "wow you used a lot of data".

Right, just no 4G available.

On a side note, looks like MetroPCS is starting to roll out LTE in several test cities (I think PHX and LAS).
