Get two free phones at MetroPCS if you switch and add a line

The costs that usually anchor us at a cellular service provider we’ve grown out of love with usually tend to be in hardware — monthly payments on our phones suddenly become a lump sum now that we’re done with our carrier.

But if you do feel like switching over to something a little more manageable in terms of service, T-Mobile prepaid brand MetroPCS is vying for your attention with some free phones. In fact, you can port up to five numbers (not from T-Mobile) and get free phones for each of them. Add a line for however many digits you port and those lines will also get free phones, too.

Of course, you’re going to have to pick from a pool of phones and not just point at any one you want.
