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.

Beware that you do pay sales tax on anything you pick up.

T-Mobile drops mic on rival carriers with free Galaxy phones for every family member

The “Uncarrier” is not one to shy away from pompous metaphors describing its special offers, service rates and network reliability, so you won’t be surprised to hear CEO John Legere bill the newest time-limited T-Mobile promo as “our best deal ever”, and a “lifeline for the carriers’ long-abused customers.”Said mistreated customers can get up to 6GB LTE data per line per month for $30 each on T-Mo’s Simple Choice plans, paying just $20 for the addition of a new line starting with the fifth.

Samsung Galaxy J3 quietly goes official in China with J5-similar features

Well, this is odd, even considering how hard Samsung has made it of late to separate various non-flagship models in the Galaxy A, E, J, and On families. Yet another J has been unveiled in China with little to no fanfare, and while it technically does squeeze between the previously released J2 and J5 on the performance totem pole, as expected, the Galaxy J3 looks nearly identical to the J5.It also greatly resembles
