As T-Mobile and Sprint increasingly compete with one another to reduce how much folks pay, the pressure continues to rise on prepaid brands looking to entice customers with their low-cost service. For a limited time, MetroPCS is dropping the price on its $40 1GB plan to $30 (edit: as a few commenters have pointed out, this is a separate plan, one than provides 4G, not 4G LTE), a reasonably compelling deal considering it comes with unlimited talk and text.

Despite the advertisement's wording, this is not an unlimited plan like the recent $50 one. Only the first gigabyte will come in at 4G speeds, with everything after throttled down.

MetroPCS is also cutting $5 off the price for every line on your plan, up to five devices. That means two people can sign up and pay $50 a month.

Unlike the previous promotion, this offer is available to any MetroPCS GSM device.
