The wait is over for consumers looking for the Galaxy S® III from
Samsung Telecommunications America (Samsung Mobile) without being
shackled to a lengthy wireless commitment. MetroPCS Communications,
Inc. announced today that it is offering consumers more
choice and value as the only no annual contract 4GLTE wireless service
provider to offer the Galaxy S III, Samsung’s best-selling premium
Android™ smartphone. The Galaxy S III will be available in select stores
this weekend, and in all MetroPCS stores and online at www.metropcs.com
beginning Monday, October 22.
Priced at $499 plus tax, the Galaxy S III is
available on any of MetroPCS’ affordable 4GLTE service plans, which
range from $30 - $70 per month, including the limited-time promotional
plans of 4G LTE for $30 or unlimited talk, text and 4GLTE data for $55
per month (taxes and regulatory fees included). When comparing total
costs of both the smartphone and rate plans with other 4G LTE operators,
consumers can save approximately $1,200 or more over the course of two
years (based on MetroPCS’ current $55 4GLTE rate plan).
