MetroPCS today unrolled a handful of promotions that may appeal to customers with multiple lines. For example, people who port in their number to MetroPCS will receive $60 to spend on any smartphone that MetroPCS sells. The company says this means nine of its handsets, such as the Samsung Galaxy On5, will effectively be free to switchers. New lines added to existing family plans can receive 5 GB of LTE data for $25 per month as long as one of the other lines has equal or more data. MetroPCS claims its new plan offerings can save Sprint, Boost, and Virgin Mobile customers up to $180 per year if they switch. The promotions go into effect on July 7.
