MetroPCS outs GroupLINE

Wireless provider MetroPCS announced on Tuesday that it will soon offer a GroupLINE service, allowing users to get rid of their wired home lines in favor of a flat-rate, contract-free wireless service. GroupLINE will allow as many as five MetroPCS Family Plan subscribers to receive calls on one shared main line that will ring all of the subscribers simultaneously, like a home number would. They still retain their regular mobile numbers, however. A shared voicemail can also be accessed by all users on the plan.
