Mostly on hold for an hour on my third call trying to get a bit of tech help. It seems they like putting you on hold as a waiting game to test your patience. I asked for a supervisor to help me. They refuse to connect, say they are equally qualified, then they put you on hold for another 14 minutes. I am amazed that anyone uses this company. I am sorry I left Verizon, where the customer service are Americans, professional, competent, and genuinely helpful and polite. Avoid Metro PCS. I'm going back to Verizon. The grass is not greener here. Not at all!

4.3.18 went into Metro PCS at their Maysville Pike - South Zanesville, Ohio 43701 Location for their TV Special. However the 11 different phones which were to be free with a 2 purchase line for $80 a month, they had (1) phone remaining in the entire store at that present time. Was told shipment of new stock is uncertain due to the fact their warehouse was in the middle of changing location in Ohio. We stated, no problem, we'll pay the $80 now & contact us upon receiving the phone in need.
Their computer wouldn't accept it because both ID# on phones had to be put in at same time to avoid additional charge of $60, They stated would contact us... We phoned them back on the 6th, 10th, & 13th... Still no shipment in yet. On the 13th, they stated, "Provide us your contact name & number & we'll call you." Apparently was upsetting them for us to call in, I laughed and said, "We already provided you," yet had no knowledge of our name in their computer!! We call again on the 19th, at 6:55pm. They received phones, were on our way...
Then lady stated, "Well you better be like 2 minutes away from us. We close at 7pm." However the web shows at 8pm told them, she got rude and said, "7pm or come tomorrow, she stated takes time to open & set up accounts." Told the Mrs., "Piss on them we'll go to the Maple Ave. Location in Zanesville," call them & yes had both in question we were needing, told them about other location & they seem like our $80 wasn't good enough for them...THAT'S WHEN IT GOT UGLY... Maple store stated that promotion ended 4.12.18 --- Are you kidding me I ask... Your company had (1) phone to offer during this so called "Special Promotion" the entire time, meaning pretty much NO CUSTOMER could have even received this offer... Yea... THE OLD BAIT & SWITCH CON...
So we didn't drive to Maple location, today 4/20/18. Phoned corporate in Dallas, TX spoke to supervisor & he said once we're at the South location & they fail to honor this due to their own issues, call me right then & there & he would speak to them. The Store refused to speak to them & stated they're independently-owned & they don't answer to PCS in Dallas. So I demanded to speak to the location's OWNER, his name is DEVON. Told him about all what happened... He stated "Sorry but I can't provide you these phones now because Dallas wouldn't offer him his rebates now." "Yet Dallas told me, they wanted to fix the issue," I stated... Devon went on to say, they say this but the 2 phones we picked out were $129 & $149, & he would be out $280. He simply couldn't help me...
I laughed & stated, "1st of all, the phones won't cost you $280. You cost is wholesale, I have 13+ yrs of management, I know business." If I buy something to sell in my store at a cost of $10 & sell it for $10... I wouldn't be in business too long now would I... "Well, you know what I mean," he stated, "I'm just a small business owner," & that's where I stopped him, & stated indeed you are & shall remain if this is how you treat consumers... He would have received his kickbacks from Dallas, he just didn't want to do "Good Business" --- At least this is how I see it... Choose your theory for yourself. In the meantime, I have contact & filed with the Ohio Attorney General's Office, and writing this review on Facebook, & have other review webpage I can find...

I have had flip phones from them for 10 years and last year had to get a newer flip phone to 4G? No internet, just call and text etc. I am in lower SW Florida and all that time no problems, until hurricane Irma and some towers from damage etc. It is now 7 months later and... since Irma... I have problems with connections in places in my home I did not have all those years. And I have a tower here 3/4 of a mile from my home??? Try to get someone on the phone or the local store by phone to answer and help if and when they are there? I will not update my phone for more money and added features I don't use or want. For ten years, no contract, long distance, text etc for life, at $25 a month! I had for family, 4 phones for 4 years at $100 for the 4.

I changed from Boost to Metro service as my bf couldn't get internet at his house with Boost. They gave us each a phone and charged 25 @ to hook up to their service. I ask if they could get me a good signal. They showed me the map and said, "We got you covered." He lives in different area. Said he was covered too. We thought covers for phones at 25 a piece sounded pricey. I found later other Metro stores sold same cover for 15' but didn't want to drop phone.
I had trouble-free day one from my property. They said just hook to Wi-Fi. Well the phone wouldn't hook to Wi-Fi. Went to Metro stores. The next 9 days. They reprogrammed phone and said should be fine. I even had my internet people to come check my box although everything else worked well through it. Went to the pool to try to get service. Fell. Broke ankle. It says, "No Metro service emergency calls only." But don't tell you how to make that 911 call. Drag myself to house. Slept on floor till someone stopped by next morning.
Tried to take phone back. They said, "Beyond 7 days." Well trouble started on day one. When I tried I took my account back to Boost they gave me a hard time about getting my account number which took a few calls to customer care. Finally back to Boost. I had ask if they could credit the other 20 days to bed account. Answer was no so I called corporate office. Told them the story. Ask if they could give days to be phone. Told them what I'd been through and said, "You are offering 2 mos free For new customers transferring. Couldn't I get something for goodwill." They said all they could do is look his account up to make sure he was getting the best plan. I gave them the customer no, names, pins, all of it 3 times and they can't even find the account yet he stayed with them and has service. Finally I gave them his phone no as they have yet to call him. I'm a senior citizen. What's up ripoff Metro? Does Lemon law apply to phone services!

When you pay in store they charge you an extra $3 just to pay your bill. Phones are largely refurbished. Bad customer service (I needed someone to diagnose my phone because it is malfunctioning and they just told me to buy a new one without even looking at it) and when I put my girlfriend on my plan they charged $30 just to do it. And this year they advertised a price increase for my monthly payment. When I asked about it they said it was just for new customers. Next month I paid that increase and when I asked the lady about it (my store has a high turnover rate. I see new workers almost on a monthly basis) this new lady told me it was always that price and she didn't know what I was talking about.

Ok went to Wilmington N.C. Told us there would be coverage where we live. That was far from the truth. We could not get call, could not call, or no service. The people there were nice but phone companies need to say if there is no coverage. My wife has medical problems. Her Dr tried to leave a message then my wife couldn't even call her. I have never seen such sorry service. We got ripped off of $198.00 dollars. I will do all I can to tell people to steer clear of Metro PCS. I work hard for my money. Then it is stolen away.

I purchased a phone through Metro PCS and was never informed during the transaction that the service would have to be active for 90 days before the phone would be unlocked and available to use with other carriers. I discontinued service with the carrier because the area where I reside did not receive service. I believe employees should notify consumers of this 90 day policy when purchasing a new phone. Very dissatisfied with Metro PCS.

Absolutely a waste of money, without a doubt the WORST service provider I have ever gone through. I figured it was just my service plan, so I upgraded to their best option. Still unbearably horrible service 99% of the time. Service is usually completely down 75% of the time, and when it is on the other 25%, it is ridiculously slow and takes 5 minutes just to load a simple Google Search page. Not to mention, customer service is always rude and has an attitude whenever I call. I would not recommend to anybody. Period.

I decided to get a new plan with a different company so I tried Metro. POS. The very first time that I went there. I talked to a nice young lady that explained about the free phones and different plans but, then some guy cut in and started talking none stop blah, blah, blah. "$59.99 a month." That's all I was able to understand and make out so. I said, "No thanks," and walked out so a few days later. I went to a different store and the same nice lady was there, come to find out that the motor mouth guy either owns or manages both stores nevertheless this time I picked a basic plan. $30.00 mo. with a free phone for switching over. The girl was super nice and helpful.
2 weeks later I had problems with the phone and the service so I went back. To my surprise motor mouth is there again and fixed the phone. Took care of the problem but, then he said that he was upgrading me to a $ 40.00 plan. That's without my consent at all so I asked him who did he think he was to make decisions for me. He told me to calm down and blah, blah, blah. That's when I noticed that he was higher than a kite. His pupils looked like they were about to pop out of its sockets. The guy was just plain wasted and high on some kind of drugs so so much for Metro PCS.

I started with Metro a little over 2 years ago. I believe they sell phones that they know will cause problems, just about the time you can upgrade. I believe that if you have been a customer for over 1 years, that they should show appreciation by giving the customer, a better deal than others. I have never lost or broken a phone since I started using a cell phones, over 10 years (yes honestly lol). However since I have been with Metro I have had at least 10. All dealing with having a phone that worked good for 2-3 months and I would upgrade. The worst part was constantly calling Customer Service and every one of them telling you something different. The only way I would get help was by saying I was ending their service. Most times it was a few dollars off my bill. The problems are not worth it. I can't wait till the in a situation where I can go somewhere else. My worst regret telling so many people how good they were, I'm sorry about that.

I am beyond livid with Metro PCS NO CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE. First of all I have been trying for 3 days to get a real person on the line and it's impossible. The automated service won't let you through. What I need she can't help me with. All she keeps asking for is payment. It's not about just money Metro. Is that the way you treat customers after they have your service? I try to get online and get help on my account and it's the same thing. It's really annoying. It's put me in a bad mood for 3 days. Not to mention wasted time I'll never get back.
I need to cancel one of the phones on my account and the answer on FAQ was to stop paying if I no longer want my service. I want to keep one phone. But I can't get nobody on the phone to help me and I shouldn't have to go to a store for a problem I can settle over the phone. I can't stand this shady service anymore. I just can't. They make me use my home wifi over my data and my text don't shows up sometimes till the next day. I don't get phone calls that are so important. Like my son's school. I've had it. After this month if I don't find a better service. I'm going back to my landline.

I switched my family to the 4 lines for $100. We got our 4 free phones, and I paid $183, and was given a receipt. We all walked out of the store with working phones. Less than 24 hours later, the phones do not work. I go to the store I made the transaction, and for 2 hours, the employee argues with customer service rep on the phone, stating I have proof of what I paid, I have my bank statement, and the receipt. The customer service rep states I DID not pay any money and that she will not restore service.
At this point, I am crying, hysterical. I had to go to work, so I had to leave without having this resolved. I feel like Metro PCS stole from me and my family, and sold me a service, took my money, and then turned off my service I just paid for. Now the company is stating I didn't even pay. I have legitimate proof! If you contact me, I can provide bank statements, my receipt from the transaction, etc. I have used this company for over a year, and I thought switching my family would be a good idea... Now I feel stupid.

My experience with Metro PCS is terrible, but I'm still with them because family doesn't want to switch. But for me on the other hand don't like the connection with the internet I get lag so much and the phone that I bought from them shuts off by itself and takes very long to turn on. I've went into the stores to let them know about this situation and they said that I need a new battery in my phone that I have to get it professionally done. But I told them there's nothing wrong with my battery that it works better than my brother and my mother right now as I wrote this message it's still on 100% anyways the service is no good with connection to internet.
They told me to use my wifi connection and I told them I don't want to use my wifi that's the reason why I bought the unlimited version so I don't have to use wifi. Even when I'm in full bars with connection to internet with service I get bad reception. So with my point of view this service deserves no stars to tell you the truth but hey no one really cares. I know that Metro PCS doesn't care because I've called them many times about my experience with them.

There should not be a fee to just change your billing date. You people charge a fee for everything. Fee to pay your bill at a store, fee to upgrade cell, fee to pay bill through customer service.

I don't usually write reviews bit after being screwed over for years by AT&T and Verizon, I made the switch 4 months ago to Metro PCS. I got the free Samsung J3 Prime which works great. It's super fast and holds all my apps. For $20 I added a 64GB SD card to hold tons of photos and music but it really wasn't necessary yet. The best part is no more dropped calls or black out areas that I had with other 2 carriers. It screens scam calls and I only pay $30 a month for unlimited everything on our family plan. That's right. 3 free phones and 3 lines of unlimited everything for $90 a month including taxes. I was paying that for 1 phone.

Okay so I just bought a brand new Moto E back in January 2018. Now keep in mind I have had Metro PCS for the last year and a half. But for some reason the stores like to open a new account for every time you get a new phone. Or any deals. Which I don't mind but it makes my credibility look not so sturdy. But anyways. Since I've had the Moto E I've had issues all month and this month with service. I live literally a mile from the store. I walk to the store I'm so close. Every time I turn on my WiFi to use, I never receive and texts and cannot send texts until I turn the WiFi off from my phone.
I also do not receive calls and my phone says complete service signal. I know I'm not receiving any calls because I will have voicemails with time dates and no missed calls. I've also tried calling myself plenty of times and I don't even get to leave a voicemail mail at times. It just says this number is unreachable. Now I just got a new job and I've been waiting for a week for them to call me with my hours and wondering why no phone calls. I now know why!!! My job has been trying to call me for three days now to start me this week. And because of this ** service and phone not receiving my phone calls.
I'm now starting work a whole week later than what I should have been. My phone bill is due and now I can't pay it because my check is prolonged more than planned. Now I hold Metro PCS accountable for this mistake or whatever you wanna call it. I could have lost my job because of this and I haven't even started yet. This is totally unacceptable. The store employees are rude when you go in. And the automated phone service doesn't connect you and thinks just a quick troubleshooting is okay. When in fact if it didn't work before. Why would it work now?
So with that being said. I'm recommending someone who has more patience than myself. To record a video with these services happening so the whole world can know and people who can relate have a way of making it known as well. I'm sure I'm not the only customer of Metro to be having this problem. Very unsatisfied with their service or company in general. I use to have the ZTE Max Pro for about a year or two. And NEVER had this problem. So I don't know if it's the phone itself that's doing this. Or the service. But either way, when it comes to losing your main source of income for your home. All because of a simple phone call. That's a huge enough reason TO SWITCH SERVICE!!! No matter how much someone pays for a phone bill my attitude and opinion stays the same. I will not be continuing my service with Metro PCS any longer. And that's sad coming from a customer of two or more years.

You baited us in and obviously switched it up on us by never giving the rebate for which we all signed up for. That is the only reason we coerced to buy the three phones in the first place. You are thieves. You steal from us and we are loyal to you.

I have had Metro PCS as my cell phone carrier since January 2017 when I purchased the phone. And every month I would make a payment.

Their switch provider 2 of $80 deal and 2 free phones is a scam. Went in to switch from Wal-Mart family plan to them, and told I am not eligible. It's on T mobile network. Offered me $50 off new phone and $60 per line. So instead of $80 and out the door, it's $520 for 2 phones and service. Every provider uses T Mobile network system or Verizon or Sprint. Their deceptive ad should say switch from Verizon or Sprint and get XYZ. Wasted my time and got my hopes up to upgrade.
Needless to say I feel scammed as to the waste of my time. The rep was very nice but her boss was a company man and wouldn't do anything to attempt to get a customer. They don't care about anything but money. The big issue is they work on commission. Think used car salesman. Smarmy and sleazy. Bait and switch once you are in the door. Well guess what Metro PCS, the door swings both ways and I didn't care if it hit me where the lord split me. The last you will see of me is my butt and wallet leaving. Any and everyone, watch out, leave the wallet in the car if you are going in. Wish I could leave negative stars.

Hello. I just bought the ZTE Max phone on Sunday 2/25/2018 and when it’s in vibrate it does not make a sound. I went to the store and they told me I could send it in and get a refurbish phone. Why is it that I get a refurbish phone if I paid full price for the phone? As I was walking out the worker told some customers that they have 6 days to bring the phone back if they don’t like it. When they left asked the worker why is it that they get six days and I don’t get any time. The worker stated because they are new customers. Why is it that new customers get 6 days and loyal customers do not get any time? I really like the phone. I just don’t like that it does not make a sound when it vibrates. I really think is a manufacture problem or something is wrong with it. Please help me or who do I have to contact. Thank you.

This company has cheap phones and the cell coverage is okay. But they do not care a hill of beans about their customers or customer service. If you call with a problem they will tell you multiple times that they care and want to help but they are incapable of resolving anything and will not pass you up to a manager, nor give you a manager or a regional's name. You can't get anyone at corporate to give a hoot. I filed multiple complaints and requested a call back but no one does. They simply couldn't care less as long as they get your money. The people at their corporate store told me if it was them they would have resolved the problem but since it is a franchise all we can do is go back to the franchise that has their name out front of it and try to get them to help. Can't give us the regional person's name or number to contact, that's against their "privacy" rules...not even their name.
They then said we should always come to a corporate store not a franchise location. So heads up. Metro PCS Corporate Store Associates told us to never buy a phone from a Metro PCS franchise...not trustworthy. Ridiculously frustrating experience hearing over and over how they want to make it right and understand and would feel the same way but they "just can't" fix it. As if they did the entire company would just crumble to the ground. Just can't. Totally impossible. Totally incompetent. Incapable of fixing the problem or offering even another option or what they can do...NOTHING. THEY MUST NOT EVEN HAVE PHONES TO RETURN A CALL AT THAT CORPORATE OFFICE IN RICHARDSON. Ironic.

Metro PCS is the worst prepaid phone company to ever have. Where do I begin? First if your phone is disconnected they have their system to where you cannot speak to representative on purpose. Second I paid 5 dollars. Got a cycle change. I paid 184 dollars the rest of January's bill along with February's full bill on February the 2nd and my phones were shut off on February 21st. You never get 30 days of service with these people. They are ripping everyone off whatever day you pay on with. THIS PREPAID COMPANY SHOULD ALLOW YOUR FULL 30 DAYS AS BOOST MOBILE AND CRICKET DOES! If you are on a fixed income and do not get paid until the 1st or 3rd and you pay 5 bucks for a cycle change so it can accommodate you at that time of the month. Why would you still shut someone's phone off?
And that's not even the kicker... The kicker is no one has record of said payment in their system. No one gave me a receipt and no one can find that RECORDED PHONE CALL! I would not recommend Metro PCS to my dog. I've been with them for 2 years and they don't care about their customers. Why can't anyone speak to a representative to resolve this issue? What if that customer doesn't drive to go into a store, such as myself... And if I gave 5 dollars for a cycle change why should I have to pay extra money to speak to a representative? I should be able to get ahold of an agent to resolve my issue of my phone being disconnected after 18 days... That's not fair and it's not right. I will be posting this review on every social media account and every review page I can find until they get their stuff tog .. Oh and by the way... I'm switching to Boost Mobile!!!

This local Long Point Metro PCS store knew exactly what they were doing - they gave me a refurbished, still defective cell phone for my $55 in-store payment; my insurance replacement phone was a defective, not repaired ZTE; and NOT a brand new replacement phone – as even the METRO PCS Store employees claimed that I deserved. Oh; and let's not forget that $6 monthly insurance fee. Employees at this location asserted that I should have received a BRAND NEW, not a broken, fixed and still does not work ZTE cell phone.
Once informed of my specific situation, they washed their hands of any further involvement. They took my $55 and set up this defective insurance claim cell – which they certainly knew in advance -- was a reworked or repaired cell phone. Once they realized that I knew what they already knew – that Asurion and Metro were operating some type of scheming activity designed to defraud customers -- they claimed they were POWERLESS to do anything. So, WHY did this store initiate a warranty claim on this phone? Why did this store advise me to bring the phone back if (WHEN) it failed to power on again? What was the right thing to do.
When this cell failed to power on, I* returned it to the store. During this process, I discovered that my supposedly NEW PHONE was a defective cell sent in for repair – and this phone was still... DEFECTIVE. New warranty phones are always sent next day delivery. My replacement phone (the one in dispute) took an extra day. This delivery practice is specifically identifiable to REPAIRED phones’ not NEW INSURANCE REPLACEMENT PHONES. I was involved in an emergency situation; and I needed a phone that I could depend upon.
All the while, I HAD NO PHONE. I waited for about 5 hours... 5 hours outside the Metro PCS store on Long Point... for a NEW PHONE that would NEVER – NEVER COME. Near 5 pm, a younger employee walked outside the store and told me that the phone was still expected to be delivered before 7 pm; that was another lie. UPS deliveries are made by mid-afternoon. I finally walked into the store 2 hours later, near 6:30 or 7 pm.
Despite knowing that I was waiting outside, I was told that "THEY LEFT ME A MESSAGE ON MY LOST, destroyed cell phone” --- that my replacement cell phone would be delivered a day late. I am totally shocked by this behavior. This store has absolutely zero accountability to a certain class of customers. No one could even walk outside to tell me this – I simply think everyone was trying to avoid telling me the truth. No one had the courage to walk outside and tell me – eye to eye – that delivery slipped a day; and that I WAS NOT GETTING A NEW REPLACEMENT PHONE; instead a previously repaired cell phone – which represented a “breach of contract” with my insurance coverage.
This DELIVERY DELAY meant “indisputably” that I was getting a reworked phone; not a new one. My contract specified that I was entitled to a new cell. The phone in question, the one that failed to power on -- on multiple occasions, was covered by my insurance plan - before the plan was simply removed - without either my knowledge or my consent. Then the older employee at this store tries to SELL ME A BLADE (by ZTE) for $149. If my understanding is correct, when a current model is out of production and new inventory exhausted, the insurer and the carrier (Asurion and MetroPCS respectively) MUST OFFER a new cell that is at least equivalent to the cell being replaced. What they did to me is tantamount to fraud.
First, they send me an outdated broken old ZTE that isn't worth $20 and still doesn't work. Then, they try to sell me a new phone that they should have sent me for my $55 insurance COPAY - for a replacement phone. I should buy a ZTE BLADE for $149. Well, should I not have been sent a ZTE BLADE as a replacement under the insurance coverage? Or, should I expect an endless list of excuses which explain why my insurance plan was ignored?
When an insured cell phone is no longer produced, and the insured submits a claim for a damaged or lost phone, what is Asurion supposed to do? What is the local Metro PCS Store supposed to do? How can Metro simply decide to mislead the customer – actively deceiving the customer by withholding the truth and literally engaging in fraud by knowingly delivering a defective cell product when a customer was entitled to a new in the box cell phone. WHY WOULD I PAY $55 plus a $6 monthly fee to a once defective cell phone that --- WAS NOT worth $20 or $25?

Please, read reviews before you switch to this company. Yes, they offer a free phone, but they don't offer customer service. If you have any problems, you are basically on your own. I just switched to Metro PCS three days ago. First, it was advertised that you can get the iPhone SE for free, I was told I could only get a $75 rebate on any phone. The main reason for switching was to get a free phone, so I just got on for under $75, which was very disappointing. The three days that I have owned this phone, it hasn't had service. I have tried to resolve this numerous times, but nobody can help me. I went to a Metro store, and they said I need to go to the original store of purchase for help. That store is far from me, because I got the phone on a trip to the mall in another city.
I have called customer service numerous times, but they only have a robot available. I have chatted with two different people online, whom both were unable to help me. I even wrote an email, to which I received an automated reply, and no solution to my problem. I paid for my first month of service, plus an activation fee, and have had to go without any phone service for three days. Even though I sent customer service my RECEIPT and screenshot from my bank showing I paid $65 for my plan and activation, they say they have no record of it. This company is a nightmare, and I would urge you to look into alternative prepaid companies such as Cricket or Virgin Mobile.

Where do I start but in the beginning... The man sounded like an Auctioneer when he was telling us about the phone and phone plans. Took a while to figure out what he was telling us. In the long run we got one phone and I decided to use my own phone from 2 years ago. The guy said before we left that if the phones didn't work out we can bring it back in 7 days. That was great fine and dandy. Less then 24 hours later, we had to bring the phones back because there was absolutely no service in all the areas we went. Huntingdon, McLemoresville, McKenzie, Trenton... It took us 1hour & 3 mins to get to the store that night. They are to close at 6 pm. But that night They closed earlier than 6 pm. (I wonder if the owners know what their employees do.)
We are standing outside the door watching them in the store with the door lock. They act like they did not see us. But we stood there at the window and knocked. Finally the female came to the door and said their computers are down. So they couldn't help us. So this morning I called before we came. Ask when they're open and she said we can't take payments or anything. By this time it just sounded like a bunch of BS. Anyhow we ended up getting back to the same store where we bought the phones in Humboldt Tennessee. Surprise it was us again... Same woman from last night that wouldn't let us in... Didn't seem like she was too happy to see us again. (I am totally for honesty truth and justice that makes me very bold when it comes to lying conniving deceiving people).
We go in there and I told her what we needed done. To return all their stuff and get our money back. I could tell she wasn't happy about it. She took the receipt and went into the back room with her phone and was talking to somebody. I knew she was up to something so I went to the door and I listened. When she came from the back room, I was at the doorway, she was surprised??? She came from the back room, she says, "Where are your receipts?" I said, "I gave them to you." She's freaking out saying that I did not give them to her. Waving the paperwork around. I told her she had receipts and I started to go to that back room. Guess what the receipts were in the back room.
She couldn't play a little game anymore with us. She finally realized she was messing with the right female, ME... We got our $93.40 back. I have realized down south we've had to really watch out with these different companies. Not just Metro PCS also Verizon store in Huntingdon Tennessee electrical companies inHuntingdon Tennessee, Hospital in McKenzie Tennessee.

I signed up with Metro PCS 6 month ago at the recommendations of my boyfriend who was friend with the owner of the local store. During those 6 months, I've had many frustrating moments using the phone. First, I wasn't able to receive calls. When someone called it went straight to my voicemail. Second, I was not able to call others either. There were many times when I called, there were no ringtones or calls were ended abruptly by itself. Third, when my boyfriend and I were traveling in San Francisco, we were not able to reach each other on our phones by calls and texts. The Metro PCS customer service representative said that it was probably because there were not enough towers. I don't believe that was the case. We were in the downtown of one of the biggest cities in the country. Fourth, the customer service representative at the local store are deceiving, rude, and unprofessional.
My boyfriend's phone broke after 6 months. He brought it to the store to get a replacement. Because he forgot to put the battery back, he couldn't return the old phone. The staff there convinced him to buy a new identical phone, telling him he could return it when he had the battery with the old phone. Two days later when he went back to return the new phone, he was told that the new phone was an upgrade to his account and he couldn't return it. He didn't ask for upgrade, nor was he told by the staff so. They said it was in the fine print. This is absolutely unethical practice. I watched them doing the same to another customer there. When the customer asked whether and how long he could have this phone before he returns it. They told him that he could return it within 7 days. At no point that they told that person that if your phone is considered an upgrade, you couldn't return it at all.
Last, when my boyfriend went in there the first time asking a replacement phone, they said they would order one for him. Two days later he went back there, they told him he couldn't get a replacement phone because there was a dent on the phone which they didn't mention before. The next day, they called him and told him they would replace his phone, but when he went in, they again told him no. There were no apology. The staff refused to offer any solution and was extremely rude and unprofessional. This is my experience with Metro PCS. I would definitely not recommend it to anyone. I would not consider to use T-Mobile either as they share the same network.

In addition I was told that I would get a 1 month credit to my account which stood also to be false. After countless calls to numbers that were not valid. I finally found a contact number and spoke with a rep who was clueless as well as powerless and showed no real attempt to resolve anything.

And the same thing happened with Metro PCS only difference was the manager of the store cheated and took my money… I got a free phone for 200 only to find out no one could hear me talk it was muffled and I took it back. He told me he would give me a different free phone and hyped it up and made it sound like it was getting all this free accessories with it. And then at the very end he told me I’d have to change my phone number.
And by the time we got done doing the transaction he never gave me the cover for free for my phone and said they were out and the tempered glass. He said, "Come back in a week and I will get it to you for free" and that never happened. He told me I had to buy them and so I was out a cover and tempered glass cover for this phone when I already bought all that for my new phone. Now he should have made it right from the start. I should have never had to switch to a cheaper phone and have to change my phone number and be out the accessories.
And on top of that… I witnessed him doing this to the next customer walking in the store. I could not believe my eyes.

I bought a total of 5 phones from Metro PCS and the promotion was 50 dollars if you transfer from one phone company to their company so I did. He charged me 50 dollars twice when it was advertise that transfer 2 lines for a fifty dollars he charged me 100 dollars so the next month I came cause I didn't like the first phone I got and brought another phone. The phone kept going to the Metro PCS's screen and staying there so I came in to get another phone. After calling Metro PCS they told him to give me another phone so he did after telling me I got to pay my bill there to get good service. So I came back and said this phone not working either the fingerprint thing not working to charge it it kept buzzing. So I brought the phone back. He told me that I didn't pay my bill here no phone. So I was forced to keep the phone.
After calling metro customer service for 2 months the phone finally as I tried to charge it it gotten so hot and the wires smell like it was burning with a little smoke coming from the phone it was so hot it burn my hand. So I call metro they encourage me to get with a different phone company like AT&T and told me that they wanted to help me get there faster by putting my code on some on my account. So I call ZTE phone manufacturer and they told me metro was supposed to give me another phone 'cause they told metro they don't honor warranties from them. They have to replace the phone and metro keep hanging the phone in my face. They even hung the phone in zte and my face after calling for me. Every time I call they say they going to help but never do so. They hang the phone in my face or leave me on hold.
ZTE ask me to get the guy agent number so they can report him. He will not give it to me so I fell ** used beat out if my money and time cause me mental distress and I need further help to get my money for the service that's not being used. They are a bogus company that takes advantage of their customers. ZTE said they tell all the customers that to call zte not them.
Don't go to metro you will be sorry and if you don't pay your bill at this particular store at 4800 w. Fulton Chicago Illinois 60644 he will tell you to leave his store and there is nothing he can do for you when metro suppose to replace this phone. Now I'm going to call the police to get his ID customer ID so I can get the ID number so I can at least have it documented. Please I'm telling you if you don't want to get treated like this like my self and other customers don't go to Metro PCS. Cricket give you better service with their phones.
Oh yeah 1 more thing he also told me when I was trying to get me another phone that he could of got me in trouble for what I pay my bill and this service is prepaid. I've never stolen nothing at the store or got on the computer and hacked none of their data and Every time we had a bill due it will always text me and say my next bill is 399 dollars and 53 cents and so on every month and he tell me, "Don't worry I will get you good deal of what the service is," to get me to pay in person. Never had a store to threaten me this way and customer service condone this. And lastly they have rotten business. They need to be shut down. Is this illegal or what? I need to know so I can get someone to help me please. O yeah lastly he sold my daughter a broke iPhone for 150 dollars and told me he don't know what I'm talking about. This is a disgrace

I left Boost Mobile and went with MetroPCS. The day I went into the store 11/30 2017 I waited approximately 2 hours to be waited on. I was waited on by a guy named Moe. I got the unlimited plan and a new phone. After I was all connected Moe handed me a headset and said to me, "Here this is for waiting". I said to him, "You don't have to do that but thank you," got my receipt and went home. On December 29th 2017 they shut off my phone because I didn't pay. My bill used to be that it went from the 30th to the 30th because that's why I go down and sign up on the 30th because that's what I pay my bill on the 30th!!! So I got my receipt and when I looked at my receipt I noticed that Moe I charge me $21.21 for the headset that he supposedly gave to me for free. I was Furious. I went down to MetroPCS and of course Moe wasn't there.
I explained the situation to the girl that was there and she told me that the headset was part of a bundle. I told her that I only use Bluetooth first of all which this headset wasn't and secondly if I had known that the headset was part of the bundle I told her that I only use Bluetooth first of all which this headset wasn't and secondly if I had known that the headset was part of the bundle I would have went back to Boost Mobile because I don't want a headset and I don't want to pay for a headset at $21.20 and when I explained to her that she shut the phone off early she told me that it goes from the 30th to the 29th so I'm wrong. So I went to Walmart to pick up Straight Talk for the phone. The new phone that I've gotten from it Metro when I put Straight Talk into the phone it activated to Straight Talk at $65 but the phone was locked because of MetroPCS the phone was locked internally.
I called MetroPCS and they told me that they would not unlock the phone because I needed to have the phone for 3 months before they can unlock it but of course this was a no contract plan and yet MetroPCS was holding me hostage for 3 months before they would unlock my phone. So now I have a phone that's not on, I have a $65 Straight Talk plan that I can't use but it's activated and Walmart refuses to take it back because it's activated. Never even left Walmart and they refuse to honor my return.
I was Furious. I went back to another Metro PCS store and I paid my bill $53. Now I'm at $110. My phone is turned back on and I swear to God on my life nothing on my phone works. My navigation keys don't work. I can't download apps any longer. I can't get to my flashlight because the pull-down screen no longer works so now I have a phone a Blaze LTE Z phone that does not work after only one month and I'm still with MetroPCS even though there's no contract. I really believe that the Attorney General should take heed to MetroPCS.

Recently bought a phone for my wife at MetroPCS. We were told it was "no contract", which is an outright lie. When we got to our home we discovered that MetroPCS service is so poor that she cannot use the internet at all and that phone calls are missed, or dropped, or have very poor quality. We tried to switch to another carrier, but MetroPCS locks the phones that they sell to prevent you from doing so.
I called MetroPCS "customer support" (now, there's a misnomer if I ever heard one!) and they flat-out refused to unlock the phone until after we pay for 3 months of service. I explained to her that requiring me to pay for 3 months of service is, in fact, a de facto contract, so it is unethical and illegal to advertise their products and services as "no contract". I asked her why we should have to pay for a service that MetroPCS is failing to provide. I asked her repeatedly to explain why they lock their phones in the first place, but she would not answer the question. She then lied to me at least three times, e.g. that Verizon requires contracts - not true, that Verizon locks their phones too - not true, etc.
The bottom line is: MetroPCS does not stand behind the services that they promise to provide, and their services are of very poor quality. Their marketing is dishonest. Their customer service is dishonest. And because of this, my wife is stuck with a completely useless, brand new phone. Does anyone think that it is right that I should be coerced into paying for a service that MetroPCS is failing to provide? If I paid for cable TV and got no signal, I would get a refund. MetroPCS will give you absolutely zero if they fail to provide the services promised, and, quite incredibly, they will deny you the use of your own personal property (i.e. the phone that you bought) if you are unhappy about not getting the services that you paid for. How they are not facing a class action lawsuit is beyond me!

Jan 3, 2018, I was on Metro PCS website attempting to pay bill but webpage was down. After several attempts, I even tried several times to use automative pay, which was also saying that it was a default in my card. So I called my bank and as I knew, there was over enough money to pay for this bill. I attempted to call my #611 services to speak to a representative (No long wait✋) so I thought I was going to be assisted pretty quick being that it is 11:20 and my bill was due by 12 midnight. So rep comes on and asks for phone number and name (NOTHING) my account number (NOTHING). Rep continues to ask, "would MY account be under someone else's name". Huh? No, I personally walked into Metro PCS Dec 4, 2017 switched services (have the yellow contract in front of me from Metro PCS) over under the assumption that you all were the best of the best and now you can't find me in your system.
I even asked, "Is it something wrong with y'all systems because of the other attempts I have tried." Rep replies "No. Are you sure you didn't use another name". So of course I'm getting super??? mad. So I ask for another rep, I never received one. So I hung up! Attempted another #611 call around 11:37 p.m. (keep in mind, bill due at 12) gave this rep the same scenario. She asked the same questions ???. Oh her name was Jen! Jen places me on 2 holds and it's now 11:47. Jen returns to the phone at 11:52 and says we was running out time before 12 and that I should go to my local store and see if they can resolve issue. Huh? So see where my frustration comes in... ooopppsss! WAIT. We are are in the middle of a snowstorm, I live about 8 miles from store, I have 2 babies and this is an inconvenience to me when Metro PCS claims to have the best service.
After the many attempts that I tried to pay on their non working website (which I have screenshots) and number of tries on automative service and the fail times to speak with a rep and saying they have nothing in their system that match my phone number or name or account number. I have received texts from this company in reference to pay a bill but you saying you have nothing in your system. I can see if I didn't have proof but I have the contract right in front of me. So know by the grace of God I have phone usage because I have wifi in the home but what if I didn't? When I attempted to pay a bill. I really don't care how last minute it was to pay because my due date said 12 midnight at 1/4/18. So I could have attempted to start this process at 11:55p.m. and this still would be in Metro PCS.
Due to lack of system failure or the reps who put me in at the store in Roanoke Rapids, NC did not do their job. Which may be the case because my services there was poor and I was there over 1:30 just switching a service and getting a new service line (meaning I have 2 lines). So yes I'm very dissatisfied with all of Metro PCS and someone need to fix the issue fast and I don't intend to go out in bad weather and resolve this issue. So what are you going to do Metro PCS?

I went into the Metro PCS authorized dealer store at 2533 S. Jefferson Ave, St. Louis, MO 63104, on 12/20/17 (which was also my birthday and my purchase was a birthday gift to myself) to purchase an Apt-x S 900 headset. While making the purchase the clerk tried three different headsets because I wanted to verify that the headset would pair correctly with my phone. Anyway, I got the headset home and charged it overnight, and the charge indicator showed blue, verifying a full charge.
I got to work the next day, listening to my audiobooks using my new headset and after 1-1/2 hours I heard the message stating the "battery low, please charge now". I could not understand. I took it home and tried the charging method again and got the same results the following day. I attempted to return the headset and was told all sales are final on accessories. Mind you the headset cost $35 + tax. That's not a drop in the bucket for me because I have a very tight budget. I called the customer service number to try to get some assistance with the matter and was given the runaround. No assistance resolving the matter At All.
I went back to the store and spoke with the manager, who was not very customer friendly. She DID give me another headset, but while I was in the store making the exchange the employee representative who originally assisted me interfered in the conversation with some very rude comments and was very disrespectful. I told her I was not speaking to her and that I was speaking with her manager. She continued to speak very rudely and I responded to the manager stating that she was not a good manager to stand there and allow her employee to speak to a customer in that manner. I left the store and... I WILL NEVER GO BACK AGAIN. I would also like to say I will be changing carriers as soon as I'm able.

For the last 2 months there has been a problem with making my payment. My saved payment method on myMetro keeps getting deleted. Then when I try to re-enter my debit card number, Metro PCS system says "card not valid". Numerous "tickets" have been created to resolve the problem, but the problem still exists. On 12-21-17, I called Metro PCS to inform them that their system was not accepting my payment again this month. I was on the phone with ** for over 30 minutes trying to explain that this happened in November and what that CSR did. I was placed on hold so the CSR could start a "ticket"and then got disconnect. No one from Metro even tried to contact me after they hung up on me.
So on 12-22-17 I called Metro PCS again. This time I spoke with **, who assured me that she could help me. She said that my card was blocked and that she needed to generate a "ticket". My payment date is the 22nd of the month so the CSR moved my payment date forward 3 days to keep my phone services on. I was instructed to make my payment on 12-26-17 after the issue is resolved.
Today 12-26-17 I went to myMetro app on my phone and was still unable to make a payment using my debit card. I contacted my credit union (Members First Credit Union), they informed me that there is an issue between MFCU and Metro PCS payment systems, and that I should contact a Metro PCS supervisor because they would be aware of the system issues.
I have been on the phone with a total of 3 different people from Metro PCS today, for the last hour. No one was aware of any problems with my credit union, but they were not even in the United States. I asked if I could be transferred to an office in the US to see if maybe they were aware of the issues. CSR ** told me that they were not able to transfer me anywhere else, and that they used a 3rd party to process payments. Therefore they had no way of contacting the 3rd party or even getting a message to them above my card issue. Another "ticket" was created today. It seems that the past tickets were not actually generated. Now my phone service will be turned off tomorrow. The only option I was given by CSR **, is after my service is disrupted... call *611 from my cell phone and apply for "temporary service" until the issue is resolved.
On top of all this, if I want to move my due date back to my original date (22nd) I will be charged $5.00! It is extremely frustrating that when you call customer service, you get no service. Anytime you try to contact Metro PCS you are transferred off-shore to a representative that does not speak or understand English well. Information is not being relayed from one customer service site to another. There is no easy way to lodge a complaint.

The service is ok but don't ever try to use your insurance because they don't want to honor it. My phone still was under warranty and the warranty company said they no longer mail out a replacement phone that I was supposed to be able to get a phone directly from the store and Metro said that was not true so basically the warranty company and Metro were arguing over the phone about who was supposed to replace the phone. It was very unprofessional the way it was handled. So I had to end up buying another phone and the manager at the store waived the $15 fee to activate the new phone because she felt sorry for the way I was treated.
So I paid $108 and I felt that Metro should reimburse my money for that but they wouldn't so I complained to the BBB about them and then Metro lied and said that I didn't have insurance so I proved that I did have insurance because I pay $6 a month for it. And then they tried to say I went to another store and did the warranty claim and that I never showed up to pick it up and that the phone I have now is a loaner phone??? I'm like, "Ok ya'll let customers keep loaner phones." SMH just lies. So basically I'm out of $108 that I shouldn't have had to pay.

On November 22, my husband decided to take me to Metro to buy a new phone. I had picked the iPhone 6 plus because it was a good price, we only paid 450 and the phone had 64 gb. After a few days I started experiencing glitches and had called the Metro store we purchased it from to see if this was a refurbished phone. After 20 minutes of the girl telling me it was a brand new phone I thought everything was in my head.
Fast forward to December 20th when the phone just completely breaks. I mean black screen and not charging. On December 21, which is today I go to the Metro store for the owner to tell me it was too long for me to return the phone but had told me to go to the Apple Store because they have one year warranties. After waiting period hours at the Apple store, the employee at Apple Store told me that my iPhone had been fake. The Apple logo was a sticker. The parts inside the phone were third party. The screen was raised and was not an Apple screen.
When they looked the phone's number up, it had been sold in 2014 in a BEST BUY! Imagine embarrassment... Not only had I felt stupid but I was pissed. I went back to the Metro phone with a letter from Apple stating my phone was fake. The owner wouldn't even come to the store until I went home to get the box that came with the phone. I go home, rip my house apart and find the box finally. I get back to the store, and the owner comes in. I tell him I was, younger refund and attempt to show him my proof. This guy looked me right in the face and told me that he wasn't going to give me a refund, he was going to send the phone to his manufacturer and make sure there wasn't water damage. Only after he would allow me to pick a new phone.
I had been there 2 hours fighting with this person before I finally gave up. I got home and decided to call Metro. The guy I spoke to was super helpful telling me to go back to the Metro store. He had said I spent 450 dollars and that guy had to give me a real iPhone. I go to the store but this time I brought my husband because I wasn't going to let this guy disrespect me any longer. I go in and the guy tells me the same thing as before. I had then said I was going to call Metro again and he changed his attitude. He refunded me the money.

Stated no harm had been done from information obtained by hacked phone, not sure how he would know that but anytime personal, private information is fraudulently obtained it's a problem! But, he went on to say they actually have nothing to do with the individual stores so there was nothing he could help with anyway. How could customer service be that bad for any company? It's ridiculous. They are a disgrace.

Every time I go into my local Metro PCS they never have any phones in stock. I have been waiting for days for the phones that I want and they check with other stores in nearby counties and they don't have any either. Not to mention the worst customer service that I've ever experienced. I felt like I was in a ** pawnshop. This company should not exist.

The phone I have used for several years was with another company when it died. This happened during evacuation of Hurricane Irma. I had no choice but to get another phone fast. I went to a Metro PCS store in Foley, Alabama. The service personnel was very pleasant. I chose a phone and my service worked fine. Several days later I returned home. Fortunately for me I had no damage to my home. However I was surprised to find that my new phone would not make calls. I checked with Metro PCS and several hours later they determined that damage to some of their towers disrupted service. That is fair enough but I found out later the towers I use were NOT affected. Their coverage map shows TOP service where I live. So I call them back 10 days later to resolve the problem.
Well to make a LONG story short, I found that my home in is a dead zone. The coverage map does not show this but shows excellent service. Yes, my subdivision is a dead zone but all around it service is excellent. So I know my phone could be unlocked and I would go to another carrier. I waited out the 90 days and unlocked the phone. Now the frustration begins. Metro PCS does NOT have live phone service. Everything is automated. They would NOT release my phone number and I could NOT talk to Metro PCS about this. Very Frustrating. It is now two days and NO service and NO transfer to another carrier because Metro PCS does not release MY phone number. Stay away from this company. GO to another and save yourself frustration.

I went to Metro PCS located at 4205 Curry Ford Rd. Orlando, FL 32806 yesterday, December 4, 2017 at approximately 4:13 pm. The purpose for my visit was because I've had my phone for almost 3 yrs now and I don't have enough storage space and therefore, I'm unable to update any current apps or download any new ones. So I went in to see what my options were. In addition to my phone, I wanted to inquire about getting my sons phone fixed as well because only one side of the screen was working. When I walked in I was greeted by **. She asked me if I was making a payment and I said no and then I proceeded to tell her why I was there. She said to let her finish helping another customer and then she would help me. I didn't know she was still in the middle of helping someone because she asked me about the payment.
I waited while she finished helping the gentleman and then she helped one other gentleman before she attended to me. I explained to her the issue I was having with my phone and she suggested for me to buy a memory card. After I made my purchase and she installed it into my phone, I tried to update an app and it worked fine. However, for whatever reason, ALL of the pictures I took with my camera were gone! If it wasn't a picture that was downloaded or on my social media, it was completely wiped out! Unfortunately, none of these pictures were backed up on my google account. (I learned my lesson!!) The worst part about all of this was that there were a lot of pictures of my late husband on my phone and now they're gone forever! When I discovered this, my heart sank! I felt like I had been stabbed in the chest! If I would've known that was going to happen, I would've just bought a new phone.
Now a lot of good and precious memories are gone forever due to ** negligence! Another lady that was working there, (I apologize I didn't get her name.) She was a young girl maybe 20-25, long black hair and brown eyes, 5'0-5'5" attempted to help me but after being there for over an hour we still didn't get anywhere. I had to leave and pick up my children from school. The longer I was there the more upset I became. My face was hot and covered in tears because I was completely devastated! The lady told me that I could come back later because they close at 7 pm. I didn't think it was a good idea. I was way too upset!!
I did go back today, December 5, 2017 at approximately 6:45 pm. In the midst of all the destruction of my memories, I never got a chance to get my son a new phone. When I went back in today, ** was there but I steered clear of her! A gentleman by the name of ** helped me. He was working yesterday when I was there but he didn't help me so he didn't know what the full story was. I told him what happened and he was extremely apologetic and empathized with me. Something similar happened to him so he knew how heartbreaking it felt to go through that. He attempted to help me as well for almost an hour to no avail. By this time the store was already closed. He offered to do some research and see if there's any way I can get my pictures back. I gave him my cell phone number and he said he will be in touch.
I bought my son a new phone but prior to doing so, ** asked me for my password like I would imagine they do with all the customers but for some reason it was coming up as invalid. I showed him my ID so that he would see that is in fact my password (dob). Then I realized that it's my son's phone and its under his password, not mine. So what, right? Wrong! When I provided the same exact information to ** yesterday (my password, not my son's, 2 different accounts and not linked in any way) she never bothered to tell me that I had given her the wrong information! That's proof right there that she's incompetent at her job! What if I had stolen that phone? My son has had his phone for almost a year so this was the first time that they asked me for the password so I completely forgot that it was under his information instead of mine.
It's easy to forget something if you haven't used it in almost a year! But to make me think that I'm using the right information shows me a lot about ** character. She's dishonest, lacks integrity and had absolutely no remorse for the mistake that she made! She never even bothered to apologize! Would it have resolved the issue? No! But when you make a mistake you should at least say you're sorry!! My husband is gone and those pictures were a part of our beautiful memories that I can never get back nor replace!! I hope nobody else has to ever go through this! I would've just bought a new phone! It's not worth the aggravation! I felt like I had to bury my husband all over again!!
If you live in or are planning on visiting the Orlando area and you happen to stop by this location, stay away from **! Unless you like having your memories shattered! Go to **. He is a great guy! Thank you for taking the time to read this and be sure to hug and kiss your loved ones everyday and tell them you love them everyday! Even if they're being a pain in the neck love them anyway! Life is too short and it's extremely precious! Don't let what happened to me happen to you! I wish I would've had a warning! I guess it had to happen to me so it wouldn't happen to someone else. That's life I guess! Take care! Heartbroken in Orlando!

I'm a long time user with Metro PCS. Never had a problem 24/7, however after Metro PCS completed their sale to T-Mobile, my phone started blocking attempted calls--saying "emergency calls only" once or twice a day for brief times. Gradually over the year my reception has deteriorated to the point I have service about 50% of 24/7. I've contacted support many times. The staff are always pleasant and they reset my phone -- it will work for the next few hours.
Today they wrote up a customer care manifesto and a technician is scheduled to make an appointment and try to fix the problem on site - that is a positive step toward a solution and makes me feel Metro PCS is genuinely concerned about me -- it's a good feeling, I hope they figure out what's wrong soon. Until then I can't give them the 100% approval I would have given them 2 years ago. To be continued...

Secondly $30. For a “startup fee” - charged as an “urban accessories??? I mean WT? on top of the $50. For activation? $25.00 for a SIM card? $10. Rebate makes it $15.00. No biggie. I guess. Not really though. (Sim is $10 in Bellevue Wa 156th store.)
MPCS says no fees tax etc. ok? Not at Lynnwood Wa 196th MPCS store... I feel ripped off! Granted it’s only $35-$40 or whatever but it’s the whole principle deal. MetroPCS advertised as “no taxes & no fees.” That’s too much a discrepancy between stores and policy anyway. Bellevue store staff didn’t understand it, customer support in Texas didn’t either. I’m getting regional rep involved and going to corporate to get this resolved hopefully. What a drag. But -$100. vs. $132.13-? Unacceptable cost/practice period. “No fees” = no fees... Right?

I travel a lot and need international service, which has been great with T-Mobile. But when my phone died just before a trip, I saw that Metro PCS had a great offer on new phones and service "on the T-Mobile network." We bought the phones, the "international service" and off I went to Greece and Italy - where the phones did not work AT ALL. Not to call a hotel or car service, to reach friends when I was lost in Lindos, not to stay in touch from anywhere. NO SERVICE. We tried to reset the phone remotely. I tried from Europe, nothing worked. I had to spend $200 on ship's internet just to stay in touch. I spent an hour in Athens trying to swap the SIM card, but of course we could not unlock the phone to do that. Unbelievably frustrating.
When I got home we immediately went to the store, where we learned that the saleswoman had made a mistake about the service. Many countries are covered if you're calling FROM the US, but if you are outside the US, the only countries that have coverage are SPAIN and SWITZERLAND. This is useless to me. I said we wanted OUT of our contract, which is possible, but the phones are LOCKED for 90 DAYS. No amount of talking to customer service by phone or in the store made any difference. So now I have a brand new phone I cannot use, and am paying for the T-Mobile service so I can keep my phone number. The people in the Weems Lane, Winchester, VA Metro PCS store are clueless.
I've been taken advantage of and I'm really upset. Will have to buy ANOTHER phone just to have service for the two months until the Metro phone unlocks. Metro could not, would not address the fact that the problem was caused by the person they employ, in their store. This is terrible customer service, both in store and if you try to get through to them by phone. I strongly urge you to avoid this business.

My wife and I had 2 different plans, she was unlimited and I had a promo deal 8GB for $30. Last month we had a hardship and had to go cheaper. I was told that my plan wouldn't change but my wife could only get 5GB. We asked in store, "My plan will not change? And I will still have 8GB?" The store employee said yes. He didn't explain any of the pro-rated bill at the time. So when the new bill came out, my wife and I were told. Starting this month our bill would be $70 plus tax and our phone insurance. We weren't told that we would be paying 2 months worth the service on this bill. Then come to find out my plan got cut due to our plan change, 8Gb down to 5. And there's really no point of going into the store for anything. They can't see our bill or tell us anything about our account. The store manager did nothing to rectify our problem and said call customer service.
We learned of our situation at the store, we couldn't turn 1 phone on without losing mine or my wife number. We left to go discuss if we could afford our bill of $145 and decided we could. An hour after paying our bill, my wife's brother called to tell us my mother-in-law was not doing well and we needed to get to Chicago. My wife went straight back to the store with the receipt to see about a refund because we needed the money to get to Chicago. They told us call customer service, customer service tells us since we paid cash at the store it'll take 4-6 weeks. But that we could try going to the store to try to get our money back and they would put a note in the computer about our emergency and to have the store work with customer service about our refund. I called the store to tell them what customer service said. And all I get is, “Our system isn't the one they use at customer service so you'll just have to wait the 4-6 weeks.”
The lady from customer service said they would talk to the store from my wife's phone due to our situation and try to help us get our refund. The Metro store employee wouldn't even do that, my wife's mom might not make it till the weekend, let alone 4-6 weeks. This is BS, we paid cash, have a receipt, and it was less than a hour before she asked for the emergency refund. There's no point having stores if the damn store can't do anything except tell customers to call customer service or don't tell your customers the full details of their plans. If they lose data or pro-rate 2 months together. We asked all these questions before leaving the store last month. But we get completely screwed by employees not knowing what they’re doing while changing plan, or they knew willingly and lied to all my questions.

I cannot & will not endorse AT&T for ethics violations & utter disregard for human life never mind poor coverage & truly not giving a rats about QA/QC in my meager opinion.
The government should bar them entirely via governor's debarment lists at the state levels... Even OSHA nor any wireless company likes to do biz with these guys pricing "Matrix". The Walmart of wireless line of thinking is killing an average of 30 more peeps a year. What a shame. Profits above all else... How do their shareholders & boards sleep at night?

We've been with the company for almost 2 years and it's up and down. Calls are okay but sometimes they can drop and the 4G LTE network is not as fast as they say it is. The service is okay sometimes but text messaging can be a hassle depending on if you using WiFi or not and we often have issues with that.

I have a phone that I have had for a 100 years and did not want to change. They finally told me that they were changing the system and my phone wouldn't work anymore. I hate this new phone and I am going to change co.

They have dead areas and you pay for unlimited everything and they cut your internet back about 1/2 to 3/4 way through the month. That is not unlimited.

Love Metro because no contracts. Pay as you go. 4g network, dependable, easy to use and you can take most unlocked phones and use with their service but Sprint can't be flashed over to their service yet.

Good customer service and the network and plans are good... Hinky phones however as some of the phones aren't worth the price you pay for them.

NO SERVICE AT MY HOME. They claim I'm in a 4G area but I can only make calls through wifi. I am in the final stages of Pulmonary Fibrosis and we need better service. They have not offered any help much less a solution.

I like Metro PCS phone service. I was trying to get new service with AT&T but they told that they could not find my account but they could not. So I am staying with Metro PCS.

I never had a bad experience with Metro PCS yet. My internet still works fine and I'm able to play videos, watch my favorite movies and shows with no problems. All in all I like dealing with Metro PCS.
