Get two free phones at MetroPCS if you switch and add a line
The costs that usually anchor us at a cellular service provider we’ve grown out of love with usually tend to be in hardware — monthly payments on our phones suddenly become a lump sum now that we’re done with our carrier.
But if you do feel like switching over to something a little more manageable in terms of service, T-Mobile prepaid brand MetroPCS is vying for your attention with some free phones. In fact, you can port up to five numbers (not from T-Mobile) and get free phones for each of them. Add a line for however many digits you port and those lines will also get free phones, too.
Of course, you’re going to have to pick from a pool of phones and not just point at any one you want.

Windows 10 Mobile Insider program opens its doors to quartet of non-Lumia phones
As Microsoft continues to drag its feet in getting full, public Windows 10 Mobile updates rolling for Windows Phone 8.1 handsets, its Windows 10 Mobile Insider Preview program remains your best, if only option for getting a head start in using the company’s latest software on some older hardware. Much like Windows Phone itself, though, access to the Insider program has been largely been a Lumia-only affair.

T-Mobile could start sales of the affordable Windows 10 Mobile Alcatel Onetouch Fierce XL this week
Windows 10 Mobile may be the future of Microsoft’s smartphone platform, but for the moment users have precious few hardware options for enjoying the new OS.
