Not at all. They’re new subscriptions was down to roughly 160k last quarter. An all-time low for them. I have nothing against Metro at all.

I’m sure if your device is capable of VoLTE they will offer data only plans.

Kudos to LG on delivering on their promise to be the 1st OEM to implement VoLTE in a handset.

I was just thinking the same thing…good thing I have unlimited data on Verizon and as soon as they try to take it away I might try out Republic Wireless…interesting concept.

Their coverage is decent. For the cost, it’s pretty hard to beat as well.

They’re not going to do that, they are setting up the sheep on tiered data without informing them when they switch to VoLTE that all those free minutes and tests will now COUNT against their data package …

VoLTE and SIP over any data connection are different things, and you know it.

Fun fact: on GSM 3G, voice is transferred as data.

Only if LTE doesn’t support Simultaneous Voice and Data. Which I’m unsure as to whither it does or not.

Plus i’s guessing your data goes up with Volte services and would take away the phone calls and data use at the same time, like using apps or the web while making phone calls.
