MetroPCS wants you to port your phone number over to its prepaid network. How badly? Well, let’s just say they’ll give you a free phone and some free data if you do so.
Starting July 20 and running through the end of September (30th), customers who bring their phone number to MetroPCS can get in on a limited-time promo. Sign up with service on a rate plan of $40 or higher and purchase the Samsung Galaxy Core Prime and you’re nearly there.
Using a combination of instant rebates, the Samsung handset shakes out to zero dollars. Normally priced at $130, it’s currently offered at $50 before the new rebate.
In addition to the free phone, the qualified port-in customers can receive 1GB of 4G LTE data each month. It isn’t clear how long the free data deal lasts but small print indicates it should stick around as long as the account stays in good standing.
Note that the deal is only good in retail stores and that T-Mobile customers aren’t eligible.
