I recently purchased a cell phone and services from MetroPCS and had it activated on 6-13-12. Upon arriving to my home's drive, I get my first phone call. Already I started getting collection calls of the previous owner of my phone number. Figures. Most of the people with Metropcs probably are people who have collection agencies after them. Great. I called them twice, and supposedly they were going to take me off their database, but nope.
