Metro P Cricket S

The Recession this country faces may actually be helping the low end wireless guys like Metro PCS and Cricket Wireless. Consumers are turning to VOIP at home or lighting up pre paid units to cut costs where they can. An article in the Wall Street Journal recently let its readers know of Metro PCS’s intent to re-use other carriers used phones. Our business is recycling these old phones and giving them new life but two name brand carriers of the pre-paid persuasion are now being more up front about what phones they let light up on their network. One wonders if this sales tactic or ploy is for activation numbers or an advertising effort to keep up with their Cricket Competitors. I am willing to bet we see the ‘green’ go away in my neighborhood and see the bright lights of orange, red and purple signs light up our pre-paid space here in Colorado.
