@hybotics and MetroPCS is owned by T-Mobile, similar to how Cricket Wireless is owned by AT&T.

@matigo the artist has never been properly compensated. The only way they make money is touring.
@matigo I spent thousands on music before you could buy it digitally. Paying for it a second time or paying a monthly rental fee just seems stupid to me.
Meanwhile, my son, who owns no music, is all in with streaming. $4.99 a month for Spotify1 is worth it for him. While that's closer to the correct price, it's still too expensive IMO.
Student discounted price
@matigo and people wonder why piracy is still a thing. At least make the prices fair and consistent.
@hybotics that's probably a better handset. Though Ting's data pricing could be a lot better.

@matigo I still have my 5s. Has kind of a messed up screen, but it still works. May hand it down to my son when I get my next iPhone.
@hybotics a Refurbished Alcatel ONETOUCH Flint [cricketwireless.com]. It had decent reviews and at $20, it was hard to pass up.
Seriously getting the next iPhone SE versus the next larger iPhone (whether it's a 7/7s or 8).
