MetroPCS Is Now Available at Select Best Buy Mobile

Aligning with America’s Largest Consumer Electronic Retailer Broadens MetroPCS’ Distribution

MetroPCS Communications, Inc. (NYSE: PCS), the nation’s leading provider of unlimited, flat-rate, pay in advance wireless communications service, today announced that its handsets and service are available at more than 200 Best Buy locations.

The retail agreement between Best Buy Mobile and MetroPCS will make MetroPCS’ products more widely and conveniently available in the 14 markets where service is available. MetroPCS phones purchased from any of the 200 Best Buy Mobile store locations in MetroPCS markets can effortlessly be activated by simply pressing *228. MetroPCS does not require a signed contract, which means consumers can activate service through their phone without going through a credit check or paying a deposit. MetroPCS continues to make the wireless experience simple for consumers to enjoy the unlimited, flat-rate, affordable plans.

“Best Buy Mobile will be a great expansion of our current distribution,” said Roger Linquist, president and CEO for MetroPCS Communications, Inc. “This is yet another example of how MetroPCS is committed to bringing affordable, flat-rate, unlimited wireless service to consumers.”

MetroPCS plans range from $30 to $50 per month and allow subscribers to talk all they want, 24-hours-a-day, seven days a week. Unlike most carriers, MetroPCS does not require a signed contract, which means that consumers can activate service without going through a credit check or paying a deposit.

While options and services depend on the selected plan, subscribers can further enhance their service with “unlimited” advanced feature packages that include voicemail, caller ID, call waiting, three-way calling, text and picture messaging, push e-mail, mobile-internet browsing, mobile instant messaging, and the recently announced unlimited Metro411, a voice-activated, premium directory assistance service.

Consumers can visit any of MetroPCS’ current authorized dealer locations and company-owned retail locations or visit MetroPCS’ web site at www.metropcs.com to sign up for service plans, and choose from a lineup of wireless phones from the top handset manufacturers.
