MetroPCS selling unlimited Internation LD for $5

[nadim]

Wow. I know Americans get sweet deals but this is crazy. $5 unlimited to call Canada that's dirt cheap. The sad part in Canada it we sell LD .30 cents a minute and $5 usually gets you 35 minutes of LD unless you extract $5 for 1000LD from Rogers.

Hopefully we get some plans like this soon.

Still sucks its cheaper to call overseas then it is to call say Toronto to Vancouver.

Thoughts? Do you think we will finally see nationwide minutes with the new entrants?

If anything I think it will not happen in the first year with the new entrants. However, it would be a great idea to get buzz started
