    I'm in my 60s and have used all the cell phone providers over the years. I must tell you that Metro PCS provided me the Best customer service experience I've ever had. Not only that their phones are great and payments very affordable.

    I accidentally paid my bill twice. I contacted Metro PCS's customer service line via phone call on the same day. I was told my refund ($50) would be returned to my account within two business days. After 10 business days I still saw no pending transaction and contacted my bank who told me there was no refund pending from Metro PCS. I had to talk to OVER TEN customer service reps. who WOULD NOT put me in contact with a supervisor no matter how many times I asked.

    Once I was finally put in contact with one, the wanted to speak with my bank directly which I completely understand. I initiated a 3 way call with both parties. My banker confirmed with the Metro supervisor that there was no such refund credited to my account even though Metro INSISTED they did what they were supposed to, not even considering the possibility of a glitch. This supervisor had the audacity to offer me a $35 CREDIT to MY account even though I NEVER got the $50 in the first place. Thankfully my bank knows how to do their job and they refunded my account themselves and filed a claim against metro. The lack of help and DENIAL OF ABILITY TO SPEAK TO A SUPERVISOR is absolutely ridiculous. I don't plan on staying with this company. Payers beware.

    I have a 50.00 plan that is supposed to have unlimited data. Less than two weeks into the month I am receiving text messages in Spanish telling me that I have used up my data and my speed will be slowed down. This has been happening every month. Even when I had the 60.00 plan. The speed is so slow that it times out when trying to open a webpage up. Forget about watching videos or a movie. It never. Stops buffering. I am so disgusted with their service that next month I probably will be switching companies. I have used Metro since they opened. What they are doing is wrong and it needs to change. Customer service agrees that this is wrong but nothing gets done about it.

    Another thing is the quality of their phones. I have a coolpad. It was only a month old when the speaker blew. So now I have to use a Bluetooth speaker to hear anything. Another thing is them not informing customers that half of these cheap crappy phones they are selling have non removable batteries. Really. Didnt notice this until it was to late. I even said that I didn't want another phone like that to the representative that assisted me with this purchase. Also they are charging activation fees which was never the case when you went to a corporate store. This is bs and something needs to be done about their internet issues. It's awfully funny that they say I'm over the limit but on my metro it says I am nowhere near being over the limit.

    They also changed the my metro app and it is totally useless now. Cant even see what is going on with your data issues now. Go figure. How convenient for metro/TMobile. As you can hear I am really upset with metro. And can you please hire some customer service people in the USA. I don't even think they have full access to the internet to help customers. They just appease you with the bs that they will be refreshing our phone and this is the cure all solution. Total bs once again. Im over it. I would like to watch a show or movie without my phone buffering for an hour. So annoying. Get it together MetroPCS. What are you going to do to keep me as a customer?

    WARNING NO WIFI EQUALS NO INTERNET AND BARELY ANY PHONE SERVICE! Metro PCS changed something in June 2019. I switched to Metro from Sprint in 2011 and the service was great. Now the phone service is mediocre and the internet is non existent unless you are near wifi. I was having problems between 4pm and midnight so metro pcs asked "is your wifi on"? I said what does that matter when I pay you for unlimited everything? They checked my area and said the service is great here so buy a new phone....always their answer to spend more money with them.

    I have never been treated as bad, from the sales person to the customer service rep to their supervisor, as I have by the employees at Metro. Two of them kept me on hold for 2.5 and 1.5 hours so I would not submit bad reviews. On every level I was told they couldn't help me, nor would they give me any phone numbers nor addresses to further my service and phone return complaints. It makes me so angry how poorly I was treated and dissatisfied I am with Metro I will not go into the lengthy story of running from store to store to store to store, and hours upon hours on the phone trying to just get service for (2) iPhones paid for cash and months of service (again paid for in advance) and now I have to go and buy YET ANOTHER PHONE PROBABLY WITH AT&T since they have consistently provided excellent phone and customer service for myself for 20 years.

    The metro junk was bought by my daughter for my granddaughter, and I just prolonged the agony and lack of, to downright rude, service from METRO-PCS. The phone service? Never once did we have ANY service in our home, she had to go outside to make a call. Pretty inconvenient if someone is breaking in or another emergency, huh? Without getting angry and swearing, I cannot say enough negative about METRO PCS by T-MOBILE. I hope this helps ANYONE THINKING TO CHANGE TO METRO PCS. Michele **

    When I came in to Metro PCS the store was out of the phone that I wanted to purchase so they sent me to another metro PCS. I was supposed to get a deal you buy two phones for the weekend deal. It's two phones two cases two chargers and two months of service one for both lines for a 180. When I was purchasing my phone I told the guy there which was making sexual jokes back and forth between him and the other lady about underwear and how she can rip off old men and he needed one more phone to make his quota anyway the bill came to over $300. I kept asking why the bill was so much. He in return kept telling me it was taxes and other fees. Then when I walked outside and I looked at the receipt I knew there was a mistake. I called customer service. They told me he charged me over $100 too much.

    When I went to call and talk to the manager she wouldn't give me her name. She was very rude disrespectful and ignorant. Yelled and screamed. Wouldn't let me speak. She told me that she would turn my phone off if I didn't watch my mouth yo!!!! When I called customer service hotline they told me they would report back to me in 5 business days. It has been almost 3 weeks and I've heard nothing. No resolution. No hundred dollars back. Nothing. There are a rip-off.

    Watch. If you go to York galleria the guy scasti and his flirty assistant ARE terrible and if you notice they was supposed to subtract and they totaled up the bill to 283.44.so the whole deal was unprofessional and I immediately asked for help and since I was yelled at and called you I asked for a refund and was told no. I have records. My person info is folded but you can look at receipt to see what I am complaining about. I was charged for double. It was supposed to be 2 ported lines of service, charge, case, headphones for 180.00 plus taxes. Not for each phone. Customer service agreed but yet nothing, no call. No text. No monies return.

    Yesterday I visited your Metro PCS store in Portland, Texas located outside of HEB grocery store. I viewed an LG Stylo 5 and wanted to purchase the phone but being that did not get paid yesterday I would have to return. The manager of your store told me that this phone was $49.00 and $17 for the activation fee. I said I would return when I got paid to purchase the said phone. After driving 30 miles to your store and getting my hopes up the manager says to me, "You came back for the phone?" I replied, "yes." Then all of a sudden I am blindsided by the employee Stephanie when she tells me the phone is $249.

    I said that, "Your manager said the phone was $49 and he said yes that's what it said on the placard." Then he says, "I am sorry I placed the placards on the wrong phones and that phone is $249." I said that was not my fault and shouldn't he HONOR that price since he is the manager and he himself had quoted me that price. He said sorry and that he couldn't do anything about it.

    My family has been with METRO PCS for over 4 years and for this manager to not have knowledge of his phones and price listings then he should not be entitled to that position. I feel that your manager should have honored the price he himself quoted. I don't see how a manager could make such a big pricing mistake like that and then not honor it. I do not have his name because he left the store before I could question him. We still ended up purchasing a phone but it was not the one I wanted. I ended up getting my husband a new phone and I hope that your company honors the price that your store manager quoted me and not make our family change mobile carriers. This is letter I wrote to Metro pcs to see if they will honor this managers big screw up. Will update if they even contact me. Fingers crossed.

    Read the reviews. I don’t even have to. I know what they are going to say/ represent. The employees on the phone are all in the Philippines. The ones in the store straight outta the HOOD most likely paroles. Not anyone you want having access to your CREDIT. My 72 year old Mother talked me into trying Metro. Biggest mistake ever. Security on your wireless carrier is as important as a seatbelt in a high speed accident. I now, after a Metro sim swap, have 30K in stolen $ I am trying to recover (Bank Fraud) ID theft, non stop hassles. The store reps are beyond useless and not professional. You get what you pay for. If you are straight out of Jail by all means get a Metro account. If you are an upstanding citizen with a bank account NO DONT DO IT.

    Here are the best wireless carries from best to worst I have had them all. Sprint, Straight Talk, Simple Mobile. VERIZON sucks. Overpriced and too many crappy employees. T-Mobile is just as bad as Metro with the security issues. They are very helpful when you have a T-Mobile account. AT AND T has the worst customer service of all and they are never honest about their rates. You're better off with Simple Mobile Or Boost.

    4 months ago I purchased a new LG phone from this store. 1 week after purchase went to store, told them it was overheating. Was told 1st I had too many apps, I had 7, removed 3. Went back 3 weeks later still overheating, burning my face. Went back a total of 4 times. 1st 3 times no damage to phone, 4th time it has a scratch so now they will do nothing. Ignoring that I have been 4 times with same burning my face. Their solution was to give me a recycled phone. New phone was defective, recycled I do not trust from this company.

    I bought an iPhone and service (including Mexico plan). I explained that I would be moving permantly to Mexico. Well the service was spotty at best. I tried to get my phone unlocked so I could get service with Mexican Tercel. They wouldn’t do despite having had service with them for well over the 180 day minimum. Then I decided to bite the bullet and buy a new phone from Tercel. Tercel managed to somehow make my iPhone work with their service so I called Metro to cancel my service (no contract). They said I would have to bring the phone in for that. I explained that I am in Mexico. They actually told me (1 store and 2 corporate headquarters) I’d have to FLY BACK AND GO TO A STORE WITH MY PHONE TO DO THAT!!!

    I AM NOT KIDDING!!! After 2 frustrating hours (and some choice words on both sides), I decided the end the drama and simply have Capitol One venture card help me to block their monthly auto pay charges and refund my last $45 charge (which I didn’t even ask for). The moral of course is to STAY AWAY FROM THIS FARCE OF A COMPANY. (Btw, Metro PCS is own by T-Mobile so I contacted them only to be told that they are 2 separate companies so they couldn’t help either.)

    I AM SO GLAD TO NOT HAVE TO DEAL WITH THEM AGAIN. The only good news is the Capitol One has always handled any few probs that I have had immediately. They are as good a company as Metro is bad. Least anyone think I am a person who tries to get away with things, I’m not. I pay all bills (my credit score is 817. Yeah, I thought the max was 800 also but it’s not). I want to die with integrity. Metro PCS apparently doesn’t care about that. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!!!

    Do not ever do business with Metro PCS in Paulding Plaza on Merchants Drive in Dallas Georgia. The manager there refused to give me her name but that's ok because it's on the receipt (N. **). She is extremely rude and hateful. I'm not sure how she got that position as her customer skills are absolutely atrocious. She literally yelled at me and treated me like dirt after she sold me the wrong equipment for my phone and I told her I needed my money back.

    She did not apologize for her mistake. She did not try to rectify it in any way. Instead she said, "I'm sorry you're not getting your money back, get out of my store". I just stood there in disbelief like what? Then she walked around and open the door and pointed and yelled at me and told me to get out of her store! I asked for her manager's name and she refused. I asked for her name and she refused. I did nothing wrong. I said "I I have no idea why you're talking to me this way but it's ok because we are on camera". I was literally in tears when I left because I was so upset.

    I have NEVER had an issue like that in a store by an employee ever. I left and went to another store where the manager there was absolutely wonderful at the New Hope East Paulding location. As for her, the district manager has been informed with all the details and she will be dealt with. I will be getting a call from someone within a couple of days. Yet here it is a couple of days later and I haven't heard from anyone. This is completely unacceptable.

    I Just joined Metro 2 months ago and noticed I had to change my plan 2 times and top up 5 times. I thought the hotspot was being used extremely fast. So today when my plan refreshed due to new month, I checked my hotspot usage and it said I used over 5 gigs once the plan refreshed. It said 5.34 of 29 gigs used. This is impossible since I never turned on my hotspot for 3 days and it was just refreshed 1 hour into new month and my mobile hotspot wasn't turned on. I don't tether either. I called up. They fixed it, however I'm thinking they are scamming millions of customers. I had them put a ticket in for last month since I had to top up and change my plan.

    I have been a Metro PCS customer for about six years and havent had any issues with service or billing. The Metro phone app is simple and easy to use. The only issue I just had was that I wanted to change my plan to a 60.00 plan but couldnt find what I needed on the app so I called customer service and had to call 2 times because of an issue with Amazon Prime. Then I found out I was charged for both calls, $3.50 each call I guess since it was 7.00 total. So now I'm going to change phone co's since I dont think I should be charged to get help over the phone. I would have done it thru the app but what I needed wasnt on it so I had no choice but to call. I like helping underdog co's and also so there's less of a monopoly since these co's are getting so big. Anyways will be leaving to another co over that.

    I was sold a WiFi hotspot through one of your stores in the Gallatin Valley Mall in Bozeman Montana. It was sold to me stand-alone, which is in violation of YOUR company policy. I had questions about the unit and I returned to Bozeman only to find that EVERY Metro PCS store in Bozeman had suddenly CLOSED. I drove to the store in Butte, 80 miles away, to get help. Since the ONLY number associated with the account is the phone number assigned to the hotspot device itself, I couldn't give them a PIN number, since the device doesn't have a text function. PLUS, I was told that since the unit was sold as a stand-alone, my WiFi data would cost at LEAST double of what I was quoted, and without a PIN number it didn't make any difference anyway, since I COULDN'T access MY OWN account. This constitutes fraud at the least, as well as breach of contract. I want this FIXED.

    Now it seems I can't get the support people to understand the problem. Forwarded numbers are NOT being received by T Mobile. My bank, business calls, personal calls, etc... I made no changes on my account - at either number. I keep seeing where "show caller Id" switches at random. OR its off and call ID still shows up . Or its on and call ID does not show up. Calls dropping/system failures more frequent. Calls suddenly can't hear - but the line still clearly open. Other party can hear me but I can't hear them. Don't waste your time. That's on calls initiated directly AND thru google voice..so it's not google voice... It's a t mobile issue since the calls are carried out through them.

    I've been with the company for 8 years, and I know for a fact the merger hasn't improved anything. I've had bad cellular service at times including when the whole network goes down for longer than 48 hrs but nothing is worse than when you're having financial issues and customer service doesn't want to extend your services for just a week until a person gets paid. I've never had any late payments or overdue days and yet 8 yrs later when I'm asking for a single extension, they don't want to help out a person for this one time. It's a ridiculous company that should just be called T-MOBILE since they are following the same ridiculous procedure. If you intend to get METRO PCS I strongly advise against it, you'll probably end up with same horrible customer service personnel who don't understand English or what means to be late once in 8 years.

    Metro customer service is extremely horrible. IF I COULD GIVE THEM A MINUS RATING I WOULD!!! Not only are the agents unskilled but so are their supervisors. I asked for their human resources department and this supervisor tried giving me the number to a main store in my area. Then when asking for corporate office number, I was told they do not have one only an address. This same supervisor not 5 minutes later tells me they only have a corporate office number that she can give me and when I openly pointed out the contradictory statement she denied even saying it. All I needed was my network unlocked so I could use my phone on my government phone service. They claim to have no tech support either. I have spent over 2 weeks and 10 hours so far with no resolution of this matter.

    They also claim they are unable to remote access your phone, however I have had them do it for me on another occasion by an agent who actually knew what their job was and had the knowledge to eliminate my issue. Their agents need better training. I created 2 tickets. They said in 24 to 72 hours the issue should be resolved but here it is 2 weeks in and nothing. Not only that but when I had them check the tickets they claimed they had resolved my issue. If that's the case why is my network still locked? Try getting ahold of corporate though. I googled it after the 7th supervisor insulted my intelligence and found number but no one gets back to you from those numbers either. I found the head C.E.O.'s name. I think I just might Google his home number. Maybe something will actually get done then. THIS COMPANY AND ITS MOST OF ASSOCIATES ARE IGNORANT, RUDE AND UNPROFESSIONAL.

    Monthly payment glitches with their myMetro payment method makes it impossible to know if you've paid as you can't log in to MetroPCS or Metro by T-mobile. All sorts of outdated links litter corporate site, when you do get a human in Philippines, they are interested in payment only: no access to supervisors, nor do they help in any way to address problems logging in. This works as a good business model: customers panic so they not only repeat a monthly payment, because myMetro doesn't work - deliberately - one is forced to call to pay over phone. Predatory Corporate profit game works beautifully here. "Ma'am? Just pay. Only you won't be able to see what you've paid. We pretend you made an error in a payment, cut off service. You all in a panic, and we get $5 per call. Guess what: only until you get your credit card statement will you see that we've billed you twice." Terrible experience.

    The service with MetroPCS is great. The phones are deceptive. Here's how it works, MetroPCS by T-Mobile has cheap under $100. These phones are used as bait, the phones are defective so when a customer comes in the employee will ask what's your spending limit. If your spending limit is not what they wanted to be they will sell you a defective phone and of course you will have to bring that phone back usually the next day. It will start shutting off or going to sleep, something will go wrong with it. You, the customer will go back to the store tell them their phone doesn't work, they will pretend to try to fix it. Then when they can't they will tell you they can give you a new phone but they will have to give you the same brand. You will take that brand home, it will do the same thing as the other phone you just returned because the defect is in the phone.

    You go back to the store, they tell you they'll give you another phone but it has to be the same brand. Of course, you don't want the same brand because you know the defectives in the phone. This is when they drop the bomb, they will sell you a different brand but you won't get a refund for the phone you just bought. How do I know this is how they operate because an employee at MetroPCS by T-Mobile told me when they sold me a defective Phone. She said, "We know the phone is defective but we have to sell them. We don't have a choice. I can sell you another phone but it's going to be a higher price but I can't give a refund." She said MetroPCS doesn't give refunds even though with the second new phone I only had it for one night little to no talk time on it.

    So in summary when you go to MetroPCS by T-Mobile know the phone you want, do not listen to their employees because their employees are there to sell you a defective phone if they can. See this way they make money twice. Once when you buy the defective phone and another time when you buy a more expensive phone. I'm not new to MetroPCS. I've been a customer of theirs for 12 years. I have never encountered this problem so they must have just started this practice when they will board over by T-Mobile.

Just stopped working for no reason at all. I was under the 7 day refund warranty and was not allowed a refund or given the warranty replacement option that comes with the phone. Customer service at the Quakertown PA location, was unwilling to resolve my issue and would not allow me to speak to managers. Store manager told me he was trained not to give manager numbers and was told he was not allowed to issue refunds or warranty.

    Contacted MetroPCS customer support and was told I had to go to Philadelphia to resolve the issue. Philadelphia is over a hour and a half from me. This is unacceptable! Personally I believe this particular store is pocketing customers' money having them pay for devices not given through promotions as I received MetroPCS receipts saying, "Thank you for paying $33 to upgrade your phones," meanwhile I payed almost $400.

Inform Metro by T-Mobile that they need to allow their phone customers to opt out of receiving unwanted and unsolicited links, such as "Trending on the Web," "Going out tonight?" "Nightly news," "Who won the game." and etc. They only provide a limited number of data and they use my data for their own advertising and the advertising of their sponsors. They need to know from an authoritative agency that they should not interfere with the well-being of their customers by sending links at 1:48 every morning. There should be regulations against such practice.

    On 7/18/19, my phone stopped being able to access WiFi calling/text. I called tech support three times, and they insisted that the problem was with my device. They referred me to Apple (when they should have honored by in-store warranty for the phone, which I had purchased from Metro 9 months previously). I had to negotiate Apple tech support on my own. Apple agreed to exchange my device for a new phone. I received and set up the new device, only to have the SAME issue. I went into a store and the store manager identified the problem right away. Apparently, this is a known account issue. The only resolution is to create a whole new account and delete the old one because something in the account keeps turning off the WiFi calling on my phone. Metro by T-Mobile support blatantly, absolutely REFUSES to do this unless I agree to pay twice my current monthly rate.

    The plan that I currently have ($50/month for 2 GB data for 2 lines) is no longer available since T-Mobile purchased Metro. They refuse to continue honoring my plan (which they cannot do unless I miss a payment, leave, or agree to switch). Basically, they won't fix the problem unless I join a new plan at the T-Mobile rate (starting at $70 month for two lines). So I can't use WiFi to call/text, which means I can't use my phone 10 hours/day, 5 days/week while I am at work.

    Tech support actually knows how to fix the problem and refuses to do so unless I pay $20/month more. This should be illegal. I can't access the full functionality of an unlocked device that I own, even though I have done absolutely nothing wrong. Do yourself a favor--avoid any and all carriers using the T-Mobile network if you want to avoid this issue. And it isn't just me--there is a forum discussing this issue that dates back to 2017 and documents how T-Mobile refuses to help customers. See: https://support.t-mobile.com/thread/147473

    MetroPCS charges you a fee if you put your SIM card in a new device, regardless of if you wholly own that device. My phone was in the Apple store for warranted service and Metro wanted to charge me a $15 fee to activate the Apple loaner phone, and then another $15 a week later to reactive my repaired phone, all with the same SIM they had just charged me $15 for two days before in an attempt to fix the issue.

    Apparently they can waive these ridiculous fees on the phone, but only if the line is active and they can send you a code, which is of course impossible if your phone isn’t active because they need to manually reactive any time you switch your sim to a new device. More frustrating than anything was the incredibly rude service (or lack thereof) from the staff behind the counter in the Arden Fair Mall Sacramento store who couldn’t be bothered to stop breaking down cardboard boxes for long enough to engage with the only customer in the store. Truly awful experience all the way around. I paid $63 for a month of service on one phone and the only way since would have been able to use that month of service was to pay another $45 in fees.

    On June 7th 2019 my wife and I went to Metro PCS in Pascagoula MS off of Denny Ave next to the Wal-Mart there to get 2 phones for my wife and son. We walked in and asked a young girl that looked 17 or 18 if we buy phones there if we could port them over to our carrier and without pause she said, "Yes" and started pointing out the phones. My wife picked out the Coolpad Legacy and we picked out a Moto for my son. We got to the store at 7pm and they close at 10pm. The entire time we were there for over 4 hours because the girl could not get the phones ported over to our carrier and the other worker that was there wasn't helping even though she asked for help.

    The other worker closed up the store and went home while we were still trying to get the phones ported over. She called her manager that was at home and he said something that we couldn't understand and he just hung up on her and didn't help at all so at 1030 she told us that it might just be the system and we should be able to get the phones ported over in the morning. Well first thing we did the next morning is try porting the phones over and multiple times we had problems doing it so I called Metro PCS customer service for help and the rep at I talked to was helpful in telling me that we need to have the phones for 180 days before we can port the phones over to another carrier, I informed him that we were not told any of this when we were at the store and bought the phones.

    I told him that we stayed at that store for half an hour after they closed because the worker was trying to port the phones over, she even went to get 2 new phones and try them and said that the system was down and told us to try again in the morning and that's what we were doing and her informed me that they will not port over until we have them for 180 days. I asked him if we could get a refund since we have not been able to use the phones because there is no service in our area and that's why we need to port them to our current carrier and he replied, "Yes" and told me that I need to take the phones back to the store where we bought them at. Everything seemed to go good until the store opened.

    At 8am we walked into the store and the same young girl was there and we told her that we could not get the phones ported over and she said that's because we have to be customers for 180 days and that's when we asked her why didn't she tell us that last night and she lied to our face saying that she did when she didn't. We said that we are there to turn the phones in and get a refund and she replied with a bad attitude saying that she cannot help us because they do not do refunds there. She said that the Metro promise is at other stores and not there so I called customer service again and while I was on the phone with them they told me that she is wrong and every PCS store is obliged to the Metro promise and I told her that and she called me a liar while I was on the phone with customer service and started cursing at us as well saying that she never told us that we could port over that phones when we paid for them.

    The customer service person I was talking to kept asking me if that's the girl that works there because he was hearing everything she was saying. I told her that I was on the phone with her comp and and she asked what his name was and then she said that she doesn't know who that is and I'm a liar. Her manager was not there and she called him and told him that the people from the night before was there and wanted a refund and he said he would be there in 10 mins. 1 hour later after still having issues and extremely bad attitude he called to see if we were still there and I heard him ask if we were leaving because he doesn't want to go there.

    The customers service person I was talking to finally got the higherups on his end to start a case for us and said that we will be receiving a refund of $130 in the mail in 10 to 15 days and to give them the phones so I said, "That will work." I thought everything would be taken care of but I had to ask why they are only sending me $130 when I paid $163 and he said that the store only reported that I paid $130 so it looked like the girl stole 30 from me claiming I was paying for the phone and I asked her and she said that she put it in the system as $163. The receipt shows $130 for phones and service and $33 for other and she could not tell me because that is on the service side but her attitude and body language showed otherwise.

    Today July 26th I still have not received any refund and after multiple calls to the company they keep telling me that it has been processed and at first I will receive a refund check in 10 to 15 days and after the 15 days I called a few more times and they said that I should have gotten the check and to give it a few more days. I called today and now the customer service agent is telling me that it's not 10 to 15 days but 4 to 6 weeks after the case is resolved. Well I was told on June 12th that the check was processed and mailed out so why was I told 4 other times it will be 10-15 day and now I'm being told 4 to 6 weeks?

    The customer service person I was talking to told me that the others did not know what they were talking about and I will receive it in 4 to 6 weeks. I asked where they were mailing it out from because nothing takes that long nowadays for any mail and I know because I was in the US Navy for 10 years and can mail something from Iraq and it would be at my house in a week or 2 but not 6 and she hung up. So before me typing up this review on here I'm submitted a report on the Better Business Bureau to see if they can help.

    I was a Metro customer, but I was totally treated unfair. I had their Blade phone for about a year. Then I bought an iPhone, my first. Even bought the protective case. I paid before the 27 bill came due, way before. iPhone missing, lost or stolen. They will transfer the phone number back to the old phone, of course with a fee, but not the 30 dollars I prepaid on the iPhone. What? Same number people. My 30 dollars must of went to the greedy monster account. You know the unseen account that senseless companies use to "grab" any "extra" money that you may have. Like I don't need that 30 dollars. Plus the 15 dollars to transfer back to the Blade, plus the cost of 20 dollars for a sim card.

    My opinion of course don't matter, but older people should be aware of the "HIDDEN" fees of this greedy company. By the way that apple iPhone 6s plus, don't bother spending the extra money. Disappointing to say the least. The "Blade" phone? Oh they don't sell that anymore because it had a problem with exploding. Nice right? Too bad they didn't tell me that before I bought one. "Greedy monster" must have made them omit the true details on the phones they sell.

    Incorrect information on their website. I called their customer service department and after waiting on hold to get through and on hold waiting for them to confirm ... after 30 min, they did confirm the information was incorrect (I confirmed with the manager as well). At the beginning of the call, their system asked if I would partake in a survey after the call. I agreed. After the call, I waited for the manager to hang up (so I could start the survey).

    The manager asked me twice to hang up. I said the call had ended, so he could hang up, but he didn't. The manager said goodbye but put me on hold for 15 minutes instead of hanging up (so I could not start the survey). Then after the 15 minutes, without saying anything, he took the call off hold and transferred me to someone else. The next person picked up then transferred me back to the main number, so the survey never came on (I after 45 minutes total, I hung up). This is typical bad and deceptive service, based on my current and past experience with Metro and T-Mobile.

    I have had Metro PCS as a service provider for six (6) years. I live in Atlanta, GA and the service is FANTASTIC! Super fast-and that includes the mobile hotspot as well! Customer service has never been a problem. I am being totally objective my review - I don't work for Metro PCS, I work for hotels. And I am not receiving any benefits for this glowing review. But one. I read countless reviews prior to purchasing ANYTHING. And as reviews help me, I would like to help YOU make an informed decision. Choose Metro PCS! I have never wanted -or thought about- another service provider. Neither will you. Metro PCS is all you need, all you will want in a cellular service provider. Never lost service, had slow speeds -I do always have a good phone- or had problems with their customer service. Or price, for that matter. This should be all the information that you need.

    So here's my story. Switched to Metro, they convinced me I really needed insurance and that I would be eligible for a new phone after a certain time. Well I held that plan and insurance for about 10 months when my phone fried on the charger. They said it was outdated and I had to get the newer version and guess what? Insurance does no good and I still pay the same price for the phone. So this time we didn't fall for the insurance, but instead they talked us into changing our phone numbers and upgrading to 4 lines. (Had good service before this) so we did it. From that very day, our phones have been the most worthless pieces of plastic floating around planet earth. There's no service anywhere, even with 4g and full service bars. Internet reminds me of AOL from 1998. Calls? Not gonna happen. Period. Text messages? You're better off writing a letter and dropping it in a mailbox.

    Now after a month of excuses, they're going to "make a report of the problem". (After about 30 hours on the phone and several trips to their store) we've been placed on hold for over 40 mins several times, rude as can be personnel (who don't speak English no matter what button you press for it). After all that, the bill comes due and we complained of course, so they give us a whopping 10$ credit for our troubles. Thankfully, they've resolved nothing, gave us nothing, and continue to do nothing except take our money. (Oh wait, they don't even do that well. Took 5 and a half hours on the phone trying to pay our bill.) I don't understand how they stay in business. I really don't. Now I've changed my number I had for 10 years, this new one doesn't work so I've totally lost contact with everyone and missed countless jobs because my customers have to call me to get my services... I royally hate this company with a passion.

Still no cars, cash or anything and I had to pay them my last just to find out I use my phone and internet for work so I can't go to work today because of a 72hr window that they claim they can't lift until my next bill is due and that's bs. I have really considered switching companies because it's things I'm finding out about this company as quick as you blink. I have not only been with them for yearsss okay but it's really time to reconsider just switching. Bottom Line and then on top of that they didn't want to give me the 72hr window because they thought I disputed something. I've never done that in my life so assuming will never ever win.

Without hesitation the sleepy clerk handed me the info and not a word was spoken. Guess she didn't care to lose a customer. Terrible clerks at all their stores but this last one at Pacific View Mall in Ventura Ca was the worse. So I switch and farewell to a company that doesn't mind or care losing customers.

    I bought a phone (FOXX) from Metro on July 2, 2019. Two days later the phone couldn't get a dial tone. Then when others called it it would not ring. I took it back 5 times. The ONLY way I could get a dial tone was to turn it off and on 5-6 times. I purchased it from All American Wireless at 45200 Ford Rd. in Canton MI. The manager ** basically told me there was nothing he could do. So I smashed the phone outside the store and took it in and put it on the counter. What good is a phone that won't ring? PS I ended up smashing the pone on July 17th 2019. I have others that tell me that they have to restart their phones to get a dial tone. They are either with Metro PCS or T-Mobile. I would strongly recommend you NEVER buy a phone from All American or get hooked up to T-Mobile. Something is going on with their towers. Buyer beware!

    This site is not letting me type out my full answers. When I do and look for corroborating information half of what I typed is missing. I feel I am a good customer and had almost a $300.00 dollar credit to my account. You can't reach someone who can speak clear English. I am not profiling, just stating facts. The personnel you are directed to are very hard to understand and absolutely do not listen. They interrupted you constantly and try to talk over you. You can sit there quietly for long periods and listen to them repeat themselves several times and ignoring the actual reason of the call. Even after you let them repeat themselves for minutes on end and stay quiet, as soon as you speak they interrupt you and refuse to let you try and explain your issue in its entirety causing the communication issues.

    At the store level they sold me a defective devise and refused to even work with me on replacing it, I wasn't asking for a freebie and was willing to pay however they exploited their rules and expected me to pay 100% for a replacement device even after they could look at my account and see I had been with them for years and was a good and loyal customer and had just spent roughly $1,000.00 dollars. The one time I got a hold of an English speaking person at a retail store the last I heard was, I was told to ** off and then hung up on. After several other issues with the personnel at their customer service center and not getting things corrected due to the communication issues, I finally decided to cancel my service with Metro PCS. I was put on hold for several minutes because the gentleman said he wasn't able to do that.

    Next thing I know I was hung up on and obviously my service had been terminated. I am not upset that they terminated the service. I just personally think it was not done in a professional manner. Hands down the absolute most unprofessional and customer service inept company I have ever had the unpleasure of dealing with. Do not be fooled or mislead T-Mobile will not be involved in how this company conducts business even though they image themselves towards T-Mobile.

    Run from Metro PCS and run fast and do not look back is the best way to be happy with this company. I am not even going to do business with T-Mobile as a direct result of how I was treated at this company (Metro PCS). Before you engage in a contract with them, do yourself a favor. Just try and contact corporate or anything above a store level. You won't be able to or you will get routed to a person in the Philippines and will be hard to communicate with. That will be your red flag. This site is making me give a star rating. I do not think they even deserve one star, but I would of able give them a full moon.

    Metro claimed that my area had "excellent" coverage, and still claims as such to this day. I got this Metro PCS plan with 2gb data solely for emergency use. I have had 8 power outages in 2018, and 3 power outages so far in 2019, every time my area loses power, my Metro PCS line quits working about an hour later. No 911, calls or text. When Consumers Energy begins working on the power lines after an outage, the only cell tower near me that Metro PCS/T-Mobile rents from Verizon has its power cut. This causes all Metro PCS lines to be routed to another cell tower that is so far away that mine and other Metro lines become useless. This is not "excellent" coverage.

    Metro PCS is putting lives at risk for the sake of money. All 13 times I have contacted Metro PCS, they give the usual runaround, asking for the same info over and over, then reset the network claiming it could take 30 minutes to complete, but it never helps anything. Each time I am told that a ticket was created and that I would get a call from a rep with the reason for my lack of service during power outages, but I never get a call back.

    On 2019_07_13 I made my last call to Metro PCS, one of the reps claimed that I had never had a ticket opened under my account, even though I had a dozen in the past 18 months. 99 percent of the time, even when data and calls work, when I click "customer care", instead of the phone calling ASAP like it does for all other contacts in the list, I am taken to a my Metro app, and it always says that it can't load my account, then I must click another button at the bottom to finally place the call to Metro. Then, most of the times the call just hangs on the call screen with no ringing for over a minute.

    When someone attempts to call me when my service is not working, they get the same call screen with no ringing. I am going to have a legal expert nitpick the contract and find all grounds for a class action against this corrupt company. They lie, false advertise, throttle people's connections, and put lives at risk during emergencies. Worst phone provider in the nation.

Despite seeing that I was in a bind, they said they could not help me because the previous phone was not used for 6 months minimum. Simply incredible that they would not help me by unlocking it.

    I have been to my local Metro 2 days this week and walked out both days having gotten no help. Only two staff, neither cared about the customers at all, they were rude and made very little effort to help us work through our problem. Waited an hour and got no help, just to be told our phone couldn't be connected. The employee simply glanced at our phone and I guess was somehow able to magically tell us the problem. (Not!) The employees didn't even know what they were doing, I'm pretty sure they have very limited experience. At one point they had to call their boss. People kept coming into the store, and instead of finishing up with the current customer and moving on to help us and the rest of the people she continued wasting our time, and talking to the customer about things that were completely irrelevant.

    One women came in and was made to wait about 20 minutes until an employee finally asked what she needed, and it was as simple as a USB-C charger. I have NEVER, in my life been to somewhere with such unprofessional employees, who quite frankly really didn't seem to care, and looked extremely dissatisfied with their job. Horrible service. If I am paying for something, you better believe I want to go through a pleasant experience and feel welcome there which I did not. Went into the store with a smile, ready to do something nice for my mother, and left an hour later, angry and frustrated. They will not be seeing me again in this store. This left a very bitter taste in my mouth. MetroPCS employees do better. Treat other how you would like to be treated.

    I had just been released from jail after a $3000 bond was made. The reasons I was in jail were fraudulent, but I'm not here to talk about that. My life at this point is on a turmoil. The date is 5/5/19. I'm DEAD BROKE. You can prob run my card, IT'LL DEF GET REJECTED/ DECLINED. See I've been here before... I KNEW, (cause I did it before), that at Metro PCS it was "possible" to get an extension, and I also KNEW that there was a fee that I had to pay to get this "possible" extension. I knew this ALL too well cause my life has its ups and its downs. Whose life doesn't have its ups and downs? We're human, NOT PERFECT... But I also knew that in "some" instances, Metro PCS could also possibly get these fees waived... It was a matter of the individual I spoke to.

    I really don't like asking for charity, especially directly. Who likes that? Well I thought, I need my phone. I know they LITERALLY can accommodate my "begging", I've been a loyal customer pretty much since they opened up. So I decided that with this big T-Mobile buyout, with all the divide in AMERICA AND THE REST OF THE WHOLE WORLD, I decided that I'd try to see just how T-Mobile influenced the Metro company and way of running things. And hell, what's a lil bit of reality check gonna hurt anyone? Well, I didn't think this through, so I don't remember any names except 1, so no names.

    Call # 1 - young, male, foreign, (from America that is), easily understandable, well spoken. I told him my situation, here it is, "Hello I have 2 different sets of service with you guys," but to save time, this is pretty much verbatim, "But to save time, how long have you been doing this job you're doing now for Metro?" The guy who helped me the first time, (even though I had the money to pay the extension,) was EXTREMELY POLITE, and lived by the GOLDEN RULE by waiving the "move your due date fee", myddf for short if you'd like, did it for me a little bit over a year ago. So if the guy been there 2 years or more, I can pretty much assume that he can literally do the same, RIGHT??? He says, "Excuse me. Oh ok I understand, I've been doing this job for 2 years and something."

    So now, I feel that I KNOW that he KNOWS about this myddf, and more than likely, the waiving of it.. So I proceed straightforward, me: "Ok, so you've been at Metro a while, I have a MAJOR issue. I'm completely broke," (I explained, and he repeated. I might add my situation of being completely broke fresh out of jail.) I straightforwardly asked him, "CAN YOU get the fee waived", quite bluntly. Which I know they have to ask their supervisor and all that, but I'm asking you personally if you would go to the guy above you and at least try, in this small and extremely insignificant way, to help another human being out. I guess you might see where I'm now prob heading right?

    How much is the GOLDEN RULE still alive in our society. Which prob half of the millennials don't even know the definition of, the GOLDEN RULE is, DO ONTO OTHERS AS YOU'D LIKE TO BE DONE ONTO YOURSELF just in case anyone didn't know lol. But this is the first guy. He wasn't even willing to go to his upper and ask. He was logged into my second account, and my password for both accounts are identical. NO MISTAKING THEM. Well I heard the cowardness when he very "sternly" explained that there was no way, it was against the rules, bla bla bla. I thought COWARD and hung up.

    Call#2 Same description, young, male, blablabla, only a little harder to understand (in America). Oh well. I explain, "THERE IS NO WAY WE CAN DO THIS, IF YOU DON'T PAY 50 NOW, YOUR SERVICES WILL BE CUT OFF." COWARD NUMBER 2. I just hung up.

    Call#3 This is why I wish I had wrote their name and number down. A female, soft spoken, SEEMED NEW AT THE COMPANY, well spoken, polite, everything I said introducing the first 2 gentlemen I talked to applied to her, AND more. She was the first person to even bring the question to her Supervisor, the Supervisor had a heart and okayed it. So the young lady (which has obviously never been in this situation cause she was stuttering a tiny bit, and didn't know exactly how to react. But nevertheless, came back after talking to her supervisor about waiving the "myddf" (move your due date fee), and flawlessly took her stand to STAND ON THE GOLDEN RULE AND SHE DID ONTO ANOTHER THE WAY SHE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE BEEN DONE ONTO HERSELF...

    WELL. She completed my request for the first account. I've got to remember SHE WENT STRAIGHT BACK TO HER SUPERVISOR AND ASKED AGAIN, and he obliged once more so that I could not worry about this particular matter, especially when he found out what mess I was facing. So she very willingly starts to log into my 2nd account, guess what, both the same and both unforgettable once you hear them, the password was changed. Remember that call#1 we were logged into my 2nd account. That guy actually changed my password without asking.

    RIGHT THERE, not when he didn't ask his authority about my situation. Him changing my password put a - (an actual negative) in the equation of this lil experiment I decided to try to gauge where we are in WORLD as being HUMAN BEINGS, as far as the the GOLDEN RULE applied, and kinda just where we are as a society. But anyway, we tried backup questions, it was my second account, wrong answer. So she says, "Oh hey, I'll just send a text to your phone. Once you get it could you kindly repeat the 6 digit code?" I get the text and OL'FUMBLE HANDS ME goes to look at it and HITS THE giant RED END BUTTON. Here we go again.

    Call#4. Female, well spoken, a little flirty lol, but ABSOLUTELY DID NOT BELIEVE ME AND WAS GOING TO CHARGE ME $50 to proceed to move my due date and would not budge...even after I in no uncertain terms told her that if my phone would have been disconnected I was NOT RECONNECTING WITH THEM. I told her I already done it on 1 line, I also told her that it would prob be good practice to write the name and number down when she answered the phone, prime example, the last lady was in the direct middle of changing my password, and she could not call me back, cause she never took note of my number.

    I waited for her to call me back believe me. But after informing this lady of this problem, she didn't take any reference of the number. She just absolutely would not give it a second thought, even though I CLEARLY stated that I had been with them since they opened, and it was also already done to one of my accounts. No budge. But polite about it. (VALUED CUSTOMER RIGHT.) There's absolutely NO WAY I could lose a 2 year customer because he's in a bind and clearly asking for help....

    Call#5. FINALLY, Mrs/Ms Fatima. I'm sorry Ms. Fatima for not including your employee number, but my phone went dead and I only entered the text into a text format, but never sent it. So it was lost with my phone dying. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE AND I WILL NEVER FORGET YOUR VOICE. HOPE TO TALK AGAIN. Ms. Fatima easily understood ALL of what I was saying, she competently relayed what was going on to the guys/women above her, she absolutely took my word. Even if I was lying to her, she understood the value of a loyal customer. She knew that what I was clearly and honestly asking for help and she made it happen.

    EVEN BEFORE I told her that the first lady already had done it to my first line. She was amazing in her professionalism. Talked calmly, and even though she had to put me on hold for a min or 2 cause they were doing conference calls. She, and her supervisor, maybe, she might have been a supervisor, knew what the outcome would be as soon as she grasped my concept.

    My thoughts, it's extremely EASY, and getting easier, get into and stay in the divide of them and us/me. And that's where we are, there's YouTube videos asking the question, "Are Background People Real" as in asking oneself. Like three movies, they got the main roles=us and our inner circles, 2nd class rolls, people that are acquaintances, and like the movies. People we don't know but you can see walking down every busy street there is. ARE THEY? Just like my lil experiment, the answers' the same. It's absolutely, completely up to YOU.

    We've been so indoctrinated and disinformed that our values will make the decision for us. We don't even have to think about it. Well, I'm happy to see, when it all boils down, the GOLDEN RULE still shines bright. And we need to reexamine the words VALUED CUSTOMER. In the end everything is fine, just 1 night's experience. Thank you Metro PCS and Ms./Mrs. Fatima. If anyone needs to contact me about this ** or **. Thanks for listening.

    In February of 2019 I purchased an iPhone 7 for my girlfriend who was a Metro PCS customer at the time as she had an entry level free phone that was having issues transmitting text, pictures, etc. It is important to note that I paid for this phone outright. It was brand-new in the box and unlocked. It was never on a payment plan and was purchased from a very well-known and reputable tech company that has locations all across the U.S. In May of 2019 my girlfriend switched to a different carrier. In full transparency, up until this point there were no issues with Metro PCS that I am aware of on her end. The issue, and motivation for my writing this review, comes into play when attempting to switch over the iPhone to the new carrier.

    To cut through a lot of back and forth between customer service, the new carrier and the old carrier (Metro PCS) I will summarize things as follows: Metro PCS locks your phone for a minimum of 180-days from the time you put the device on their network. My girlfriend had been with Metro PCS for a few years, but just put this iPhone one their service before it was known that she was going to be switching carriers. Now that she has switched Metro PCS is telling me that they cannot unlock it for another 90-days approximately. Let's be honest here for a moment. Metro PCS is fully capable of unlocking the iPhone that I own and paid for in full. They are choosing not to because of a policy they instated. If this phone was on a payment plan I would understand this in an effort to prevent people from switching to a new carrier without paying off their device.

    Customer service tells me they can do nothing, which is true because Metro PCS is not allowing them to do anything, but when it is all said and done the company is simply refusing to unlock the device I paid for. It is easy for a company on the corporate level to enact a policy and force its employees to enforce an internal policy without having the ability to make exceptions, but that doesn't mean that I the consumer am going to walk away feeling like my device hasn’t in effect been stolen from me in practical terms. Some Metro PCS executive wants to discourage people from leaving. Instead, take the approach of encouraging people to stay with superior service. There's a thought! Maybe I’m a fool, but I will never do business with a company that unnecessarily applies a lock on a device that I own and in professional terms tells me to just deal with it.

    ** is the blonde woman who works at the downtown Miami METRO BY T-MOBILE store (121 SE 3rd Ave., Miami, Florida) who the public needs to avoid. I went in to see if my phone could be fixed. She said they don't fix phones but tried to push an inferior Samsung series phone on me (which I later discovered from another phone store is not only an inferior phone to mine but is also a discontinued series, hence the rush to dump them on the public for dirt cheap).

    She took my name and number and said she would check to see if any were available, then call me a few hours later. I awaited her call, which never came. Days later, I called the store and demanded to speak to her. Why didn't she call? I asked. "Because we were out of them," she replied. "Well, why didn't you call me to let me know that fact, like you said you would," I asked. "Listen! Don't talk to me that way," she rudely interrupted. "Nobody talks to me that way!" I asked for the name of her store or district manager. She gave me a "Frank". I asked her to have "Frank" call me. He never did. This woman is woefully inadequate for a job dealing with the public. Not only is she dishonest and two-faced, but arrogant and condescending as well. Metro should fire her. This store just lost me as a customer forever.

    I tried to buy a hotspot, a 15-minute transaction. The "agent" showed me how a phone with hotspot was a better deal and I bought it. As she was wrapping up, she told me that they "were out of bags" and offered me a free gift instead, with my choice of a case or earphones. I paid for the phone and took it and the FREE case to my car, where I found the hotspot didn't work. The short hairs: 2 hours on the phone with support to 1- fix it (they couldn't). 2- refund my money (which she said she didn't know how to). Five hours later the manager finally arrives and refunds PART of my money, explaining that taxes and activation fees are non-refundable, as was the case I bought.

    NOWHERE in the store is any mention of refund policies. You see them on the receipt AFTER they have your money. I told her about the agent offering it to me in exchange for a bag, and she showed me on the receipt that the "agent" had charged me TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS for a case! My friendly agent had shown me how to save $8 bucks by picking a phone instead of a hotspot, then CHARGED me $25 for a free case, hoping I'd never see the breakdown on the bill. The end? I spent $112, got a $77 refund, they still have the $25 FREE case, and I wound up buying data from Verizon.

    I had an LG Aristo and it worked fine for several years. Then I went to the Metro store and they pushed me into the LG Aristo 3. They insisted I buy it. They said it was much better camera, much better battery, much better phone. I purchased the phone. Immediately I noticed that there were issues with the battery staying charged. I went back to the store and asked them and they said it was because I had my Wi-Fi on and my Bluetooth on and that if I turned those off that the phone battery would last much longer. I did turn those off.

    Later when I left the store I remembered that I have never turned off the Wi-Fi or Bluetooth on my original LG Aristo and I never had a problem with the battery. Also there is a proximity sensor problem where my phone goes black in 15 seconds if I'm on the phone. I called customer service and they said that if the proximity alert is not working that the phone may be dysfunctional. I change the screen timeout to 5 minutes and reset the phone meaning I turned it off and on. That did not work. Then I went to the store and have them reset the entire phone and start from scratch. Still the screen will timeout after 15 seconds.

    It's very annoying if you call a company that needs input. For example if you call MetroPCS they want you to push one for English and then 2 for customer service. Meanwhile the screen goes black. It is very annoying. I did mention to LG customer service that they should consider making the proximity sensor accessible in the settings menu so that you can turn it off or on. It boggles my mind that there is no way to turn off the proximity sensor.

    So now it's been more than 60 days since I purchased the phone and just now today I am realizing that it is defective. I have to go to MetroPCS and try to make them exchange the phone. This has been a headache from the start. I called customer service back to get the date that I purchased the phone and was trying to explain to the customer service rep what happened and if she could help me with a return and she put me on hold for 16 minutes and never came back on the phone until I was hung up on.

    This change apparently happened in March of 2019 without any notification. I asked for a supervisor and was ignored the first 2 times of asking only to then be put on hold for 30 minutes. Also, signed up for Metro PCS that included Amazon Prime. That worked for about a month until Amazon started billing me separately. I called Metro right away and they claimed to have fixed it.

    I went to the nearest Metro PCS store in my town and at first the people working there were polite and trying hard to sell me the product. I thought it was great and decided that I should move from Virgin Mobile, as I had been having problems with the phone I had from them. Because I had been a customer for so long with Virgin, I had a $25 monthly plan with unlimited data and up to 5GB of high-speed data, if not more (can't recall, I just remember it was a really good deal). Moving to Metro put me off in that area a little because they would charge me $30 for a 2GB high speed data plan. After that it's "unlimited data" but little did I know, the internet would not load for anything after my high-speed ran out. If it managed to load, it would take minutes just to load Google itself. It's terrible.

    The selection of phones is so crappy, and to top it all off, I ran into a problem with my phone (it wasn't receiving texts properly the first week I got it) so I went back to the same store, spoke with the same people, and all of a sudden they're rude. Such a disappointment. I regret switching out of Virgin. I do not recommend this company.

    Don't even bother trying to call their customer service, either. It's one answering machine after another until you can finally get through, unless you press 0 for all the options, and even then the people you speak with don't know what they're talking about. I've called once regarding a text I got from the company about new plans, and when I called to ask about them the people were not informed. Another thing to add is that whatever special deals they have concerning plans, you need to call them to learn about them. It would be so easy to add plan descriptions to the crappy app they have and allow the customer to change it through there, but of course everything has to be made difficult.

Why don't you try protecting your citizens for a change and do more than a half-** five minute investigation of these companies and actually have penalties for their illegal/unethical business practices other than a nasty note and a 100.00 fine or whatever you CLAIM to do and actually make it count against them and actually get them where it will permanently hurt.

    I have the $50.00 unlimited plan. Have had it for over a year now with Metro. Found out the hard way what unlimited means in Metro language. I'm a fast learner so ok, I didn't read the fine print, I went over a data cap I didn't know existed, I agree and pay a $5.00 top it off fee. So that's $55.00 right? Nope. Had to pay at store $3.00 fee for paying a $5.00 fee for going over the limit on a $50.00 unlimited plan. In what world does this make sense? Corporate America. They're fraudulent in their practices and extorting money is an acceptable corporate policy.

    If you go over your data on an unlimited plan, they will cut your data, but they won't tell you this or admit it. You can pay a "top it off fee" that doesn't exist but they will take your money and that in turn gets you more data. If you do not accept this and complain expect to have your SIM card and or your device to start having connection problems that will result in you having no connection, no data, no phone, no text, being told it's a problem with your phone, you need an upgrade, software is outdated, network won't connect, SIM card errors, they have a neat little trick they do with the SIM card that's very special. They're crooks and thieves and if it were you or I doing similar things we would be indicted by our peers for theft. But because we are a band of sheep instead of brothers we fall, one by one to the corporate giants that are writing government policy on what they can do and what we can't.

    My son got Metro PCS and put me on his plan. He has service. I do not where I live. I have been calling Metro PCS since 2018 and this is March 2019 to complain to get it fixed. I have full bars but no data. I can't call or text since I have no data. I call Metro PCS. They tell me I should be able to but I can't. But if I go to town I can because I have data. Now, "Why does every other provider work at my house but not yours" I ask. All they can say is, "We are sorry for the inconvenience and we are working on the problem." Sure you are. I ask them to compensate me for not being able to use my phone because I don't leave my house much for I have some mental issues. They said, "We don't do that." So out of the last six months I have paid 40 a month for my half of the bill and I have maybe been able to use it 2 months only when I go to town which is really hard for me.

    I was transferring from Metro PCS to a plan with a family member on T-Mobile and Metro locked me out of my own phone for several days. I spent an hour waiting in the store at T-Mobile to pick up the sim card that was suppose to be delivered the next day which never showed up... Then went to the store and had to wait forever to pick up the sim card. Then when they installed the sim card Metro locked my phone. So here I am still waiting... for them to send me the unlock code so I can get back my cell service. Then I ventured to Metro, waited another hour while they were on the phone with Tech department for over an hour which in turn they could not unlock my phone. This company has no right to lock a phone that I OWN! NOT OK! So I will never be using Metro again nor will I refer anyone else.

    I was a Metro PCS customer for over 2 years during which I purchased 3 cellphones. Phone #1 the hearing element went bad whereas I was unable to hear the other party except via the speakerphone. Phone #2 the face stopped working and I could no longer access the phone, so I went back to phone #1. This phone died one night and would not charge or come on at all. I responded to a Metro PCS store for assistance and was advised phone was unable to be repaired and needed to be replaced. I was advised I was eligible for an upgraded phone. I declined an upgrade and purchased a replacement phone (so I thought). At work that night phone#1 came on and worked just fine.

    The very next day I returned the replacement phone because I did not need it and it would not sync with the Bluetooth in my car. The clerk was not familiar with the refund process and called a manager who stated another employee would call and walk him through the process. During that call the clerk advised me I was unable to return the phone because it was considered an upgrade and "upgrades" are nonreturnable and nonrefundable. Metro PCS doesn't have a "replacement" phone category and justifies refusing to accept returns as a result.

    You can return a $20,000 vehicle within an allotted time limit but not a $40.00 cellphone? You're kidding me. The phone I purchased was a downgrade because I went from an Alcatel 6 to a regular Alcatel. I am appalled that I have not received a refund after almost 2 months now. I have been fighting with this company over a rule THEY created to take advantage of people. This is poor customer service and they should no be able to take advantage of people in this way. Please stop Metro PCS from committing this crime against its customers.

    I waited called once I had had my phone 180 days. They said I qualified for my phone to be unlocked and that it was done automatically. Once week later I move providers...surprise your phone is locked. Called Metro and they submitted a ticket to technical support... It's been 15 days and I'm still waiting.

    I was on the phone briefly with a CSR. I just needed to obtain proof that I was assigned a new number to my bank for personal reasons. He insisted that there was no way to electronically send me (the verified account owner) proof of the date in which I was assigned said phone number, so that I could show proof to my bank. He refused to help me in any other way and did not wish to transfer me to someone else.

    I finally ended up being able to weasel the exact date of which my phone was activated in order to get an idea of when I had my number was assigned so I could give my bank something. And when I stayed on the line after the call was over to complete the survey, he stayed on the line, and it took him about 10 minutes to put me through to the survey, and then when I tried to complete it, it didn't even work. Most likely because he realized he was an incompetent CSR. So here I am reviewing my experience, since he made sure I was not able to complete the survey then and there.

    Well on 2/28/2019 I researched online Metro PCS service in the location I was buying. Their site said fair service, so I went to the nearest store and plan to change cell phone service providers. The service had no service at my new home. While discussing this with the salesperson I was informed that I could get a free phone. Well I did not need the phone so I just wanted their service. I needed the cheapest price for voice and data that was the $40 plan. However, I was told that the company required me to purchase the $60 plan and then I could turn it back after the first month. I purchased the plan and paid $76.98 for my first month and the activation charge.

    I left the store, rode directly to where I was going to be living and found that I had no service. So within 30 minutes I knew this service was no good and I could not use it as my service. I went back to the store. Was informed that the salesperson could not refund my money.The manager had to who was not there. He told me he would call me soon. I waited several hours and received no callback. I went back to the store and he told me that his manager could do it tomorrow and that he would call me.

    Well again no call. So on the third day I go back and speak with the manager on the phone who told me she could refund my money at noon on Monday. I went back on Monday and she was not there but someone else spoke to me on the phone explaining because I did not buy their phone that they could not refund my money. So they can make you purchased the highest priced plan and when their service does not work they can keep every penny of your money. I will never go buy with Metro PCS again and I will tell everyone to stay away from their stores. They are not into customer service but how to rip off their customers.

I would have never gave METRO PCS an opportunity to be my phone carrier if I knew the process of buying a new phone or replacing a lost phone was this ridiculous. To make a long story short I lost my phone. I put a claim in and I was supposed to receive my phone on March the 1st. Needless to say I I still have not received my phone and today is March the 3rd! I even tried to just go buy a new phone. I was told it's no way to access my account without my 8 digit pin which I forgot. I also forgot the answer to my security question.

    So the employee in the store told me I'd have to call customer care to reset my pin. Customer service told me if I provide a valid photo ID that I could get the pin reset in the store. However that was not the case. I was sent to another location. The next location told me they could not help me without my pin as well. I was told to call customer service and see what to do next. I was told I'd have to drive to another location even further away from home but this location was the corporate office. I do not have the time in my schedule to be driving all over the world!!! Just to replace a phone! I am an electrician with a very demanding schedule. I was then told to call customer service again! At this point I am just tired of dealing with the lack of professionalism with Metro PCS. It is just such an inconvenience to me and my life. I have no cellphone! And I cannot deal with this.

    Every time I call, I'm never waiting more than 30 seconds for an agent. The agents are always really courteous and helpful. The service itself has some issues, like calls going straight to my voicemail instead of ringing or getting text messages several minutes late, but those problems are likely related to area cell phone towers and not specific to MetroPCS. When I have had issues with the service the agents were able to help me reset my connection/network settings and resolve the issue immediately. Those issues were usually caused by me, playing with settings that I shouldn't have touched because I didn't fully understand them. I have been a customer for several years and love it! Their prices can't be beat either. The plans now include Amazon Prime too, which is really awesome because you save money by getting that service through them and bundled with your phone plan so it's one easy, low cost bill each month.

    I highly recommend MetroPCS to anyone and everyone looking for a cheap, reliable, unlimited plan with NO contract. I don't understand why anyone would go anywhere else, where they charge you monthly for your phone, phone plan, and data and lock you in for years. That's crazy! MetroPCS also has deals on new phones all the time with instant or mail-in rebates. You can get the newest phones, like iPhones, at a low price instead of having to pay hundreds up front or an extra $40-50 monthly plus the cost of your plan. Plus Androids are better than iOS but that's a whole different argument.

I then asked to pay the bill, until another agent informed me that there's an in-store fee and a fee if I pay using the machine? I asked if the fee could be waived since their system was preventing me from paying the bill my usual way. I was told no and that I should pay the bill using my cell phone? If that's not my preferred method, why would I do it that way? I thought that it was unfair to ask me to pay the extra fee and poor customer service towards a loyal customer!

There should be more ways to contact besides mail and phone. Hello, can you see where we are on? The internet! The E- world. Emails do exist too. Suck it up, come online, check your email and take the criticism for once. Hear what we need to say. Help us. I’m tired of you guys feeling so great because you don’t get to notice complaints.

    I was convinced at the Metro store that this phone would suit my needs because I don't really use my phone for much more than texting and a little web surfing. The reality was that this phone can't perform to the expectations of a modern phone. My 3 year old Droid was a far better phone which is amazing to me. The Alcatel 7 simply can't switch between apps or screens without an absurd delay. Even minimizing apps comes with a delay.

    When texting, this phone can't even keep up with my keystrokes and I am not a world class typist. I called Metro and asked if I could pay the difference between a better phone and this one and they said no. They wanted me to contact Alcatel which I will not do. I will have to switch carriers because this phone is simply barely operational and I refuse to continue to pay $50.00 per month for such sub-par performance. I believe Metro needs to stand behind the phones they sell not tell you to contact the manufacturer. What a bummer of an experience, I should have never left Verizon.

    My son’s phone was stolen and went into the Metro PCS on Dorothy Lane in Kettering Ohio to get a replacement. We were shown phones available as an upgrade. We chose one, then were told they didn’t have anymore. We were told another was available for $99.99 as listed on the signed next to the phone. We said we would take it. The man went to ring up the phone and went to the back. He then told us that the phone costed $119.99 and he would not honor the price he had advertised. He said it didn’t matter if it was false advertising, they would not honor the price. We walked out of the store and I called Metro PCS. They said they would look into it. Poor customer service. Did go to another Metro PCS in the area that did have the cheaper phone. Seems the dealer at the first store could have called them and had checked for us while we were there but I guess customer service is not a priority at Metro PCS.

    I financed a Samsung S9 phone from the Metro store on the 4200 block of Broad St., Phila., PA. A month and a half later my phone shuts down. I found out it was on the blacklist! I do not have my phone, and I am still paying! The staff does not answer the phone. I went to the store and they were rude and unsympathetic. I had to go to a corporate store to find out what was wrong with the phone. The store on Broad St where I purchased the phone acted like they didn't know what happened until I told them I requested an investigation. The manager that sold me the phone was fired and I had to argue to get a temporary phone. I still have not heard from anyone regarding a new phone that I am paying for. This store is horrible!

    I purchased 2 iPhones on Dec 3 2018. Before I paid my first bill I couldn’t use my personal hotspot the entire month and lost internet even with WiFi. Internally phone was defective. I took it to the store and they lied. Said it was SIM card and it would cost 10 bucks... That wasn’t the problem. They tried to troubleshoot it over the phone and turned out it was defective. So I was supposed to get a brand new phone. I got a refurbished one. I called Metro PCS and they wouldn’t or couldn’t help me. Told me it was discretion of the dealer. To go back to store or call Apple. I can’t seem to find Apple's number so basically I got robbed. I would not recommend Metro PCS. 1st month and very displeased already.

My service keeps going in and out, I have missed phone calls and text messages.

I fact, I even called the "customer service" line, and not even the representative had clear explanations but only thing he could say was that he couldn't do much for me either and that from now on, or at least while they re-organized things, all clients are being sent to go in person to one of their stores. Really? Actually, the site does do something... There is huge invitation to become one of their authorized dealers, so here is my second... Really?

As of 2018, Metro PCS seems to only have "SMART" phones (what a joke!) and since T-Mobile's takeover of Metro PCS this year, I've lost business because (1) callers can't reach me - they call - my phone doesn't ring - doesn't indicate missed call - NOTHING. Some of the callers (THANK GOD) were able to reach me via a landline number.

    I added 2 lines to my husband's acct getting 2 "new" phones for $58! I'm in Ft Worth, Tx. The Azle Ave store. First let me say the phones are definitely not new! Autofill works on sites I've never been to, including this one! Under the, "Summarize" option "Your Son, Brat" just popped up! So now I'm more infuriated. From the 2 day both so called new phones acted up. I hear nothing when I call out until someone answers or the VM picks up. I got the phones in Sept. The other one won't ring or goes silent while she's talking on it! Mine's so bad I call it the "malfunction of the day" due to so many different ones.

    I went back to the same store after 3 days, the same girl who sold me my "new" phones said there's nothing she can do since I don't have the insurance! And tried to get me to buy ANOTHER new phone for $78! Remember I'd just got 2 for $58. So I've waited all this time for my promo period to end so I can get an upgrade, according to the ads I can get a free iPhone. Yeah, that's not true either. It's $149 + a $15 fee! Turns out I DO have insurance & could've swapped out the phone for an exact one for $50 deductible, isn't that wonderful?!!! And customer support tells me the phones are cheap because they're pre-owned, or refurbished. They're not allowed to say used apparently, but ARE supposed to tell us if they've been owned before. That's why they inspect your trade-ins when you upgrade, so it can be wiped & sold to another unsuspecting victim.

    The way to get around the time issue on upgrading is Just buy a "new" phone/plan like me you're a new customer, because there definitely is NOT a discount for existing customers. My husband's had his service there for 10 yrs. Since he JuSt calls in or out there's no issues on his phone. However 2 yrs ago he went in to pay his bill at the corporate store on Jacksboro hey, a guy told him he's eligible for a free upgrade but would have to pay his payments at TMobile afterwards, the next month turns out he's gotta pay $50 a month extra on top of his reg bill since he'd agreed to buy a new expensive phone ne, I can't recall the model but it'd end up being $400+ for the phone after it was paid off! He wasn't told anything about leasing to buy a new phone. It was as supposedly a bonus for being a loyal customer. I'm checked it out Boost & Cricket TODAY instead of paying our bill.

    To be quite honest. Metro PCS in store customer service is ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE!!! They won't do anything to help you with your phone if you are having any kind of issue. The store staff tell you to call 611, and speak with a "Customer Service Rep". Funny thing... I respond back with, "Well what's your title/job description then". All the in store staff is there for is to sale you a phone and activate your service. At this point, I'm feeling shocked that they even offer to activate your phone for you. Also, if you decide to call the 611 and speak with a Customer Service Rep, 9 out 10 times, you can't even understand the person whom you are speaking with. The foreign accent is so thick and their English is very "broken" at best. You might as well just throw in the towel on solving any issue.

    Another thing, I visited multiple Metro PCS locations on the same day about 2 weeks ago and presented the same question/issue/scenario at each location. Haha, I received a different response from each location. Now, I realize that each location is a owned franchise. However, they operate off of the same corporate policy/procedures headed & backed by Metro PCS. Final thought... WARNING!!! WARNING!!! WARNING!!! Stay as far away as possible from the Shepherdsville, Kentucky Metro PCS location.

    The young man that works there (and seems to be the only person that works there, cause he is ALWAYS there). He is the rudest Customer Service Rep that I have encountered in my 40 years. He treats and talks to you like you are a complete idiot! I have also come to learn that he outright LIES to people about plans and service. I, unfortunately can confirm that he has blatantly lied to me about the starting up cost of service. Costing me EXTRA money!

If he doesn't pay it someone else will. He then asked for the district manager's name and phone number and she refused to give him any contact information. He then started to record the conversation and asked again for the district manager's name and phone number, she refused.

I went in on Sunday 12/2/18 (3 days ago). I bought the LG Stylo 4 ($50 is now free when you switch) in the first day my phone was acting up. Then it started blacking out and turned off on me. I went in on Monday and the rep said she didn't notice anything wrong with the phone and there wasn't anything she could do, she supposedly factory reset the phone, but when she gave it back everything was still the same. She said that if I continue to have problems I could go return it and get it replaced.

    I went in today 12/5/18 and after some back and forth with a different rep she agreed to exchange the phone for a warranty one and I'm supposed to receive a call when the new one comes in. After leaving, something still wasn't sitting right with me and I decided to look at my receipt. When I purchased the phone I also purchased a case and glass protectant which the rep said she would discount them for $10 each. Turns out she charged me $35.99 each after taxes $38.96!

    So now I have to go back and see if they're going to fix this issue. I am so upset! I've never had this many issues with purchasing a phone or starting service. If you plan on going here, make sure you PAY ATTENTION to what and how much they are charging you. If you can, AVOID STARTING SERVICE HERE AND GET YOUR PHONE SOMEWHERE ELSE! You will be hustled!

And, just my luck T-Mobile buys Metro and sure enough they start their typical, big corporate, B.S. First, they change the unlimited plans by putting a cap on the data usage and now the cheapest phone you can buy on an upgrade is these low quality phones, which pretty much forces you to buy the better phones at a minimum of $139 before tax, smh.

But none went through according to their computers. Then they said they give me a case number and that they will call back in 24 to 48 hours. Still never heard nothing from them. Still never got the money back. Still in dispute with the bank. This will be our last month service with Metro PCS. We had three lines and they will be losing a good chunk of money for their representative doing this illegal action. And they don't even want to give the money back. We got to go wait up to 8 wks even though our bills won't wait. I wouldn't recommend Metro PCS for anybody.

I’ve recently have had battery health issues and cannot keep a charge on my iPhone. Apple wants 80+ dollars for a battery and installation. After speaking with a rep from 611 named Jovie she informed me I didn’t have insurance on my current plan but did let me know my phone is actually eligible for an upgrade. I wasn’t aware Metro had upgrades at all. She advised I would have to learn more by going into a local store. Interested and she offered to find a location near me. We had spoke for 44 min and I had to go so I told her I would use the online locator when I could revisit. So I did later on. After using the locator I found there are absolutely no locations in Hawaii. None.

    I called 611 back and spoke to Sylvia. I informed her I learned of my phone is eligible for upgrade and there are no locations in Hawaii. She then asked for my zip code to search and I advised again I’m on the website there are no locations and I have her the zip. She then stated there are no locations and I told her I told her that already and she asked me for a nearby zip code. Again I told her there are no locations in Hawaii. She then stated I have to go to a neighboring state. Right here I just couldn’t believe anything more than I was hearing. I explained to her that Hawaii is many islands surrounded by bodies of water BIG bodies of water. I would have to take an airplane to fly over the water to get to a neighboring state. I was not going to pay $900+ For round trip tickets to walk into a store to get information that should be readily available to customers like myself over the phone or online.

    She pushed the San Francisco location stating to call maybe they can help... so you don’t know if they could. Metro should be providing call center reps with dialogue that supports what to do if customer cannot get to a reasonable nearby location and that this conversation was completely useless and left my issue unresolved. She then transferred me to a number that went unanswered and had a voicemail box that just stated the number and leave a message. It didn’t indicate it was another location/dealer or store information. I’m irritated at this point and still don’t have a possible resolution. I don’t think I should be expected to possibly pay extra fees or shipping etc - it is supposed to be an upgrade experience. This just happens to be one situation but one that impacts consumers in my situation.

    I have many years with Metro PCS. They offer a cellular upgrade for an affordable price, but when we try to grant the right to upgrade the phone, Metro PCS they force us to buy the accessories (Case and Screen protector) to hold the price. Nowhere in advertising does it specify the obligation to buy accessories. They are violating the right to obtain an Upgrade at the price offered.

    Soledad from the store on 81st in Merrillville took so much time to help me and my son to transfer to Metro PCS from Sprint. She went way above and beyond. I have been with Metro PCS for a short time but if the network is anything like Soledad, it will be a great network.

    Now I remember why I should NOT have gone back to METRO PCS. TOTAL HOT MESS!! So I decided to go from Cricket back to Metro for some reason I made up in my head. I think I was just impatient and didn't want to pay the re-connection fee through Cricket. Also, my phone was getting old and starting to glitch and freeze. Much like the brand new one I just bought from METRO PCS. It's a brand new (just came out) Moto E5 Plus. And I have had nothing but problems with it, and nothing but problems through Metro PCS's horrible unlimited service!! I told the very young (17 yr. old) girl at the (6510 Boulder Highway STE 103 Las Vegas, Nevada 89112) location that I needed a phone with lots of memory, a bigger screen, and definitely NO LOADING ISSUES!!!

    And guess what I got?? A phone with very bad loading issues, service that doesn't connect 95% percent of the time, a very loud customer service girl with a horrific, high pitched, screeching, and annoying voice who was no help to my situation, and spoke over me and spoke over my questions everytime I spoke which really infuriated me!!! And on top of that, I feel I pay to just so the girl could make her commission. The service was rushed, and my questions about buying this phone were 1/2, somewhat answered in an unenthused, and unknowledgeable manner.

    I have to connect to WiFi almost every day because the phone is limiting my use when I paid for unlimited and didn't get it...ALL MONTH OF NOVEMBER THUS FAR. And now I wish I did get a receipt. I'm going back to Cricket on the 1st. This company will NEVER see another penny from me again. Absolutely horrendous!! Do not waste your money!!! Cricket never gave me problems. I should get my money back. I'm furious!!! Lesson learned.

    Where to start? While the store personnel were friendly it took hours to switch 2 phones over from T-Mobile (same company and we only switched as T-Mobile wouldn't match the price of Metro). But my real issue is paying the bill. They don't send me notifications of bills due, they turn our phones off without warning for paying 1 day late, their online payment system is buggy and doesn't work half the time and there's no email or live chat option. You just have to suffer through terminal hold. Only been a customer a few months but am looking now to switch to someone else. Stay away!

    I have been a Metro PCS customer for 4 years. Did not have a SINGLE problem until T-Mobile took it over. Since then, I've had problems making calls and sending texts. I was unable to send texts for two days. I called Metro PCS and they said they had to reset my phone and I had to stay off of it for one half of an hour. I did. When I went back to it ALL MY PICTURES WERE GONE. Every one. The ones I took of my granddaughter's water birth, my dogs as puppies, the accident I had last fall. Everything. Over 1,000 pictures. I am livid. I hate hate T-Mobile. I wanted to rate them negative stars but that is not an option. Don't bother with this company, they will provide you disservice and heartache.

    These phones are trash!!! Have to buy new phones with every billing cycle. Brought 5 and 3 have NOT worked since the day after. I kept paying the bill and buying new ones. The service is a complete joke. It cuts out constantly. The internet is horrible. Think I'm going to just switch back to Boost. Never had these problems with them. I wouldn't recommend Metro to anyone. I should have known since they are attached to T-Mobile. The worst cellular company to ever exist.

    When I bought my phones and plan as a new customer they seemed ok... Then I got home and looked at how much I had paid and what my next bill was... The crooked sales lady added extra services that I told her o did not want or need. I called 611 from my phone and they apologized and reversed the added on things... Now a year later and I'm looking for an upgrade on my phone. It seems as if they don't care about existing customers at all. I left Virgin Mobile where all the phones would go on sale and it didn't matter if you were a new customer or existing. They were the same price. If you are reading this and are looking at using Metro PCS. Looks at the website for Metro and see if you can find anything special for exit customers. Nothing squat diddly. Metro only cares about you when you first buy into the company.

    A few months ago I left ATT for Metro PCS. The main reason was that I could get the same coverage and plan for 66% less than I was paying. I was so happy. A couple of weeks ago, my Samsung died, not even 60 days old. I was told that the battery was fried and that Samsung would not warranty it. I said to the Metro rep, "Well somebody needs to take responsibility for this." He just stood there and told me to go get a new battery. I said, "Perhaps my attorney would look at this in a different way." HE said, "What do you want me to do? Take it to Trump." He said that what you get for buying a piece of ** for a phone.

    I was shocked. He began to treat me like he just didn’t care. I was getting angry I have to admit. He told me to get the ** out of his store. I left. A few days later I attempted to reach the owner of the franchise, but never got a callback. I then reached to the regional manager that told me to give him a few days. This was well over a week ago. I still have heard nothing. I guess I really traded good customer service to save some money. Buyer beware, while the rates are low, after you walk out the door you are nothing to Metro PCS.

    I've been with Metro for a while, wanted to upgrade my phone to a S9 Plus. My credit couldn't finance it but my husband could so after work on Friday we went into a corporate office in our area to pick up the phone, he had already been approved the day before. We spent 2.5 hours in the store, all was good until it was time to pay. He was told that his card had to be verified, asked him questions, called SurePay, the computer kept saying his information wasn't verifiable? Which is crazy cause was had already been approved. The service rep from SurePay was very rude and told me when I tried to talk to stop talking and never cut him off again. This pissed me off, I asked the rep, “Can we use another card to pay”... I was told that the order was canceled until we send in copies of our bank statements. I was so upset, the Metro reps were also shocked. I am not staying with Metro because of the company that they use for financing a phone.

    I went to my local Metro PCS location today to see what policies they offer to deploying soldiers. I asked if there was any way I could keep my phone number and not pay for their services since I won't have access to their services where I'm going. They told me they do not offer anything that protects deploying soldiers and told me that I would need to either pay for services I can't use, cancel the use of their services (losing my phone number), or go to my local Walmart and use AT&T to keep my number (at a reduced price). Honestly, Metro PCS needs to rethink their policies and/or add something to help those like me. It's extremely unnecessary to pay for services you don't have access to just to keep a phone number.

    I purchased an iPhone X’s max for 1500 at a Metro store and added hd streaming to my service that does not work. It messes up all the pictures online. Look blurry like from 2007 and the video streaming quality is so bad! I called and spoke to an agent they knew exactly what was going on. And told me if they remove it will go back to a better quality. And it did. Much better but still bad. Today I was stupid enough to take a leap of faith and try again. I added hd streaming and it ruined my quality so I removed it and this time the problem didn’t go away. It stayed. This is beyond **. I ordered a phone from metro pcs and I’m not getting the quality I deserve!

    This is a scam a major scam! I have my receipts and I need metro pcs to treat me right. I been with you guys for years. This is so stupid. The problem still persist and they are telling me I need a metro pcs phone. Well guess what geniuses? I purchased a phone from metro only to find out I got an unlocked phone from the Apple store so this tells me the manager lied to me and I need a dedicated phone for the dedicated service and this is what I get wtf?? Does this make sense to you? Wouldn’t you be frustrated too? Ever since T-Mobile took this crap over it’s gone down the??? Stop throttling is to the depths of hell and give us at least 720p because we are lucky to even get the 480p. Not only that even if you guys are claiming I don’t have a metro phone which I do why is this problem persisting if you guys have the bring you own device to metro program or whatever smh hello?!! You guys better fix this. You guys really ticked me off.

    First of all let me say. I do not work for Metro PCS or T-Mobile. I've been with Metro going on for years and I have not really had any bad experience. But the one thing that I have discovered when doing a research is that you have to know what network the carrier is on. Take for example I also have a SafeLink government phone because I qualified for it. There are times I can pay my Metro bill so I had to use my government. But I digress. SafeLink is owned by TracFone and TracFone is owned by some company and South America plus they use the Sprint network. So in looking for a cheaper carrier research whose network they use. You can Google and find out there's no excuse. I am planning on getting another Metro phone. I've had no problems and I just feel like this is something that nobody ever addresses. Thank you.

I am handicapped and they took advantage of me. All I'm asking for is a refund and they will not cooperate at all and it's been 2 months. I advise no one to go there because of their pathetic customer service. They treated me like an underdog with no respect or morals.

    Metro PCS reversed the cash payment and disconnected my service at random. I made my usual monthly payment on the 9th. I still have until the 8th to make the next payment. When I went to the store location to find out why my service is off and payment reversed, I was told there was nothing to be done. That it was on MetroPCS's end and that the store clerk couldn't rectify the issue. He says they randomly moved my due date up to yesterday. I was told my only option is to pay again. Does that make any sense? Why would I pay again for a service I ALREADY PAID FOR?

    I have two phones on my service plan and it is pricey for me. Do they really think I can come up with nearly 100 bucks on the spot to pay for my service whenever they decide to reverse payments I already made, not refund me, and then change due dates at random? To top it off, they send me a text saying I owe for two months! How in the hell? This is in another stratosphere of failure. Now we have no phone service until the 8th (my normal due date) when I can pay again.

    As soon as I'm able I'm ditching this company. I would have already but I cannot afford to pay a bunch of activation fees to a new company and I don't want to lose my phone number. This company has already made me switch phone numbers twice after getting my phone upgraded. It's ridiculous! Poor service, poor customer care. Poor overall!
