Sprint recently extended what it calls the ‘Biggest Deal in U.S. Wireless History,’ but MetroPCS isn’t going to sit back and let the fourth place carrier have all of the fun. On January 21, it will start a limited-time promotion with the tongue-in-cheek name, ‘Biggest Offer in Sprint’s History.’

The offer is aimed at Sprint’s Family Pack customers, and offers up to 50 percent off your new service at MetroPCS. The table below should give a good idea on how much you can save, if you’re a Sprint customer.

Customers currently paying for 2GB data plans stand to gain the most when they switch, with 46-percent savings on a single line and 50-percent savings on two lines. All 1GB data plans will be upgraded to 2GB plans, and switchers will see savings of between 33 and 37-percent.

On top of the price cuts, MetroPCS is also offering a free smartphone or $50 value for every line switched. The phones on offer for free include: LG Leon LTE, Kyocera Hydro Wave, Samsung Core Prime, or LG K7. You can also pick up any one of the network’s phones with the $50 rebate, if you’re looking for something fancier.

“For anyone who’s been stuck or is regretting a recent switch to Sprint, this is a lifeline. You can now get a bigger and faster network — based on hundreds of thousands of crowdsourced tests — for up to half the cost. Oh, and we’re throwing in a free, new LTE smartphone on top. What’s not to love?” said Tom Keys, president of MetroPCS.

MetroPCS doesn’t have all of T-Mobile’s Un-Carrier features, but Music Unlimited, Data Maximizer, Mobile Hotspot, and North America Unlimited are all available on the prepaid wireless service.

This offer is another major attack from T-Mobile (the owner of MetroPCS) against Sprint, and will be available for a limited time. The leaders of Sprint and T-Mobile have been back and forth on Twitter, but most of T-Mobile’s deals have been primarily focused on AT&T and Verizon customers before now.

The Honor Magic 6 RSR is my new favorite Android phone of 2024
Someone holding the Honor Magic 6 RSR outside.

There's no doubt that 2024 has already been an exciting year for Android phones. Samsung wowed us with the Galaxy S24 series at the beginning of the year, the OnePlus 12 and 12R are two of the best phones available right now, and Google is expected to impress later this month with the Google Pixel 8a.

But for the last few weeks, I haven't been thinking about any of those phones. Why? Because I've been using the Honor Magic 6 RSR. After launching in China this past March, the Magic 6 RSR is now available in the EU, and that's allowed more folks than ever to get their hands on the phone. And that's great, because the Honor Magic 6 RSR has quickly become my new favorite Android phone of 2024.
