This company made changes to my plan without my consent! Took away my mobile hotspot without notification. Started with a promotion deal to cut my cost in half if switched over from boost. Then they took away my hotspot without my knowledge, which I used for work. They are complete liars and thieves! Do not ever trust this company, they will say anything to get you in, then make changes to your plan behind your back! They changed my plan twice in one day for a dollar less with hotspot but then changed back as soon as I hung up. After the 4th call that day and speaking to a manager they said they could only offer me a plan that cost double to get my hotspot back. They lied and made promises they never intended to keep.

I have had Metro for several years, previously I've had no issues. Starting about 3 months ago, I started noticing my phone was switching from 4g to 2g constantly preventing me from using Internet when I was out and about and away from my wi-fi. I use my cell to sign in and work, it sends security codes via text so I can work daily. I started not receiving texts and getting voicemails but never seeing the call. Over the course of 3 months my service went from great to unbearable. Reached out to customer service, their troubleshooting was worthless. I don't want to change providers but I have no choice... I'm constantly late getting on my system at work because it takes me 10-15 minutes to get a text. I'm at the grocery store and literally have to no service while I'm trying to unlock my debit card. Basically I'm not on WiFi. I'm not getting Internet and texts/calls are 50/50. It's sad.

I have been a customer with Metro PCS for more than 5 yrs... my phone stop working and I paid for prepaid service for a month, but can't use my phone, so they could not verify my identity, they said they can't refund my my money. Unless they verify my identity through text in my phone that stop working. Ridiculous and there are no corporate stores on Long Island to do so. I just want my 50 dollars I paid for my prepaid service I can't use.

I called customer service regarding unlocking the phone and 3 times a supervisor literally lied to me as to how to solve the issue, and one supervisor actually gave me a wrong number. Most of their phones have issues such as dropping calls or being unable to hear someone while on an existing call. Can't wait to leave this pathetic excuse of a phone company. Supervisors whom have no clue what their job is.

I have been having major issues for the last 2 months with Metro PC. On June 18th they ordered thru my insurance a replacement phone. Which has been nothing but a nightmare since. Customer Service tells you 1 thing the insurance tells you another. The replacement phone was to be a NEW PHONE. Instead, it's a refurbished at best. The battery overheats to the point you can't touch the back of the phone. It locks up and when someone calls you don't receive the call, it goes directly to VM and pops up 30-45 minutes later.
So after an hour conversation last night, the customer service agent said it has to be replaced immediately. So this morning I called to have this happen at which point I was told, "Oh you need to send us the phone first then we will decide if we are to replace it." I asked for a Supervisor, the Supervisor told me that they decide how to handle claims, not Metro PC. I explained it was all in the notes from last night to read them. After a huge runaround, I will be contacting the BBB, Consumer Rights and an Attorney to file a lawsuit about inferior and actually dangerous products on Metro and Assurance Insurance who is the carrier for Metro. If anyone else has had this same issues please contact we and we can file a joint suit.

MetroPCS, literally, lost $933.00, and they won't do anything about it. We paid approx $933 to the company ahead of time, to cover my internet costs in advance for several months. All of sudden, no one knows where it went. Someone accessed my account, and my security info was overridden. The money went to a credit card that doesn't belong to me, and the company sent out a refund check to an address that doesn't belong to me either. Yet, they stated that their people at the store did it. But, the money has turned up missing, and no one will do anything about it. I've contacted numerous attorneys, so far, but no one will touch it because metro has an arbitration clause in their contracts. They're so big, no one will touch them. These people have access to my account and everything in it, but no one will solve the problem or tell me where my money went, yet they want me to continue with them? Are they out of their minds? Where is my money, Metro??

Beware of the WIKO VOIX. This phone is garbage. Battery life is only half a day with no apps running in background. Sound cuts on and off while in a call and it actually open apps on its own. Also Customer Service is very poor when it comes to in store and Rep communication. There is none. You get one thing said on phone and in store it be more to pay and other stipulations. Find a different carrier with better phones especially in TEXAS!

Absolutely the worst! I lost my phone last night. I started very early this morning to get the process started to get a new phone. I spent probably 5 or 6 hours on the phone, plus my lunch hour, and spoke with FIVE agents in a row, each one promising me that the options they were offering me and that I was accepting would process. They kept giving me made up reasons for what was going on, it was very obvious after a while. After spending literally all day on the phone with them.. they finally tell me that they cannot help me after all. That I should go to the MetroPCS store. I am really upset about this.
Some of the agents were very rude and sarcastic, even though they would routinely tell me it would be 2 minutes and then 20 minutes later they are still "processing". Even though at one point all they were doing is updating an address. They had no idea what they were doing and are liars. They completely wasted my time today when I was supposed to be remote working. I only wish I could give them ZERO STARS!!!!

The customer service is beyond horrible! They cut you off in the middle of you talking to explain the issue to them. Only for them to end up telling you to go to a Metro PCS store after being on the phone forever! The language barrier is horrific and they seem very incompetent to even be able to assist you. Shame on Metro PCS/T-Mobile.

I went with this company for a few years. I bought a new in October of 2022 and it wasn’t working right, the technician in the store said the phone is definitely broken, but she did nothing to help me, she wouldn’t replace the phone even though I bought it from her. Then the company wouldn’t replace it for me either. I had insurance and they still wouldn’t honor the insurance because they said I waited too long to file a claim, I am now with another company but I am still paying $20 a month for a phone that is sitting in a desk drawer.

After 2 years of use, my cell phone cracked and I ordered a new one. They sent one in the mail via FedEx, and didn't send me a delivery confirmation. Via tracking, I saw the package was delivered to a house that clearly wasn't mine, and any attempt to follow-up was met with lies. I filed a police report. FedEx closed the case after a week, but Metro's is still open, and they require a month to investigate. Due to the long wait, I had to buy a new phone out of my own money, and the insurance I paid for was useless.

I've been a Metro PCS' customer for 10 years my households bills for unlimited internet monthly reach around 200$ plus s month. 3 phones 2 tablets within the last few months or maybe when they switch to Metro by TMobile in my area I couldn't send or receive messages. Was loading pages for up to an hour and a half simple Google searches. So I go buy a new phone a 5g 250$ phone. Only made the problem worse have called 20 times in the last 2 months. They tell me it's because I'm not unlimited on that particular device which I am I pay the bill put me on hold. The woman say, "That's ok honey now your unlimited".
My local store I go in to fix the issue the man who sells me the phone restarts it. Within a half hour of leaving the store I received a text a partial payment was made to my account. I have no charge that I authorized when I inquired they don't know they see a payment. I can only assume the person who made a payment after me the incompetent employee put on my account. When you call and wait typically they sent you to a different tower. So for maybe an hour it works. I live in the 5th largest city in Philadelphia. I've just had to go and purchase wifi. This company service sucks. I'll be dropping them this month.

I called customer service to get the transfer PIN number. I use the same PIN code number and I live at the same address and had no problem until now when I wanted to cancel our service. She said the verification I gave her doesn’t match. I’ve been using the same PIN number and zip code for over 13 years. So, I asked to speak to a supervisor and she refused. I was on hold for over an hour. My wife decided to call Metro on her phone to ask for a Transfer Pin Number so we could switch to another mobile network. She gave them all the verification and it matched. My wife was able to get it done. I was still on hold with the same Metro representative. The representative hung up on me when I told her I’m not hanging up the phone until I speak to a supervisor. She was rude and still refused to connect me to her supervisor. I’m so glad we are no longer Metro PCS customers.

Bought their phone in the internet in one day. After keeping it and trying to work out the internet I decided to take it back., They gave me another internet box. This one didn't work either so I went back and told him, "We're sorry. We can't get it to work. We've tried every room with the box." I kept my phone no problem with that. This is the second box we returned. We ask for the refund right away because we didn't have internet. After 2 hours standing in line waiting for him to return the money he said. "I'm sorry. We can't finish it today but come back tomorrow." So we went back me and my boyfriend the next day again. He said, "I'm sorry. I know I owe you the money because I charged you twice but I don't know how to do it so come back tomorrow again."
We went back on the third day and he was not there there was somebody else in his place. He told us to come back the next day because that was the guy that was working with us and he knew nothing about it and he couldn't help us to get our money back. So we went back at the fourth time and the guy said again he is having trouble with the computer but he said for sure we will have the money for you. So on the 5th day he had text us and said he reimbursed the money so my boyfriend checked his checking account and what he did was he took back the money that he originally gave him the first time for the first box. And he gave him a credit on the first box but not the second box.
We've been fighting these people for 5 days to get the money back and put back into the checking account. We showed them the checking account about what he was doing and he just laughed. We tried calling them this evening and they won't answer the phone. I guess they know our number. I called corporate and she said, "Go down there and talk to him again. They should give you your money." Well we were out of $67 and will probably never see it because we tried five times.
Now that I read the reviews I know we will never receive our money because corporate doesn't give a damn about anything and I can't get through to their number anymore I don't know what happened but they kind of disappeared off of the planet. I talked to a Liz at corporate one evening and she seemed very nice and she said she would get this taken care of and we heard of nothing. Never got a phone call from anyone. But Metro did call us today and the guy that has been waiting on us said that they reimbursed the money but when we looked at it in the checking account we seen that he had taken the money back from the checking account. It was not credit at all.
I think Metro PCS should be sued by all of these people giving bad reviews and we should all stick together. I am willing to do this if everyone else is to sue the hell out of these people for ripping us off. They only have one star and only one good five star which is probably the brother or sister that made up the review. The place I am talking about is on 1792 Longwood Florida 32750. These three guys are a joke and one of them is the manager and every time he seen us coming the door after the second time he goes back into the office like these guys belong to you I'm not dealing with them.
This place is a big joke don't ever buy a phone or Internet with them they will rip you off. There is no corporate number anymore these Metro stores know this so that's how they can treat everybody like **. I repeat do not deal with MetroPCS they will take your money again and again and again and keep it. Something needs to be done and I mean now.!!!

The least helpful employees of all time. Quoted by the "other" Metro PCS store that those guys are liars and just kids. Went in for a battery...Employee...immediately told me to go to another place of business to have my phone fixed which would have incurred a repair bill. Next, I commented...maybe I might want a new phone. They weren't helpful at all.
A Moto G Play was suggested and I said I did not want to leave Samsung. After all that I was not happy with Moto phone operating system and went to return it because Motorola says online (in several searches) that they will take phone back within 14 days. Not so. Was told that my phone was an upgrade and not eligible. IT'S new...9 days old! Now I'm stuck with a phone I am not happy with, not using, that I used very little for 9 days. Had them reactivate my old phone. Charged me again for reactivation. The employees need to be building good customer relations...They also need to clean up their personal appearance which reflects MetroPCS.

I had a problem in Metro PCS phone ne internet was slow and then interrupted. I called metro pcs customer service to help because I clock in and out in my job using application in my phone. I missed 2 punches even they told me that they will solve the problem. The third day I called and then they troubleshoot my phone. Net was good. They offer me a gift phone as I had this problem and am 5 years customer with metropcs. I told the lady I don't need it because my phone is good and expensive and am living alone in United States. So I don't need it. She told me it's an opportunity to get a phone and I pay only 30 $. I said ok.
I got the phone in mail and I called back customer service. I said I wanna unlock it because am gonna use it in vacation overseas. The guy told. "You need first to activate it and then wait 6 months then you can unlock it." I asked him 3 times if I activate it should I pay extra money or this can affect my old phone and my phone number. He said absolutely noo. I ask him many times to make sure. He, "I told you no. Don't worry." And I thank him. He activated my phone and asked me to rate his service in a survey. I rated everything 10/10 as I did before with the other lady. I paid 50 $ plan as usual but 1 day after due date metro pcs suspended my account telling me that I need to pay extra 6 $ and monthly 80 $ for 2 lines I have.
I called the customer service. I explain to the lady 4/14/23. She told hold on. To call the supervisor. He couldn't do nothing except reduce 6 $ to 3 $. I told him I will not pay nothing because they told me before different thing. He put me in a hold again. We spent about an hour talking. No result no help. I told him I want back my 50 $ or hold on. I went to store 42th St Bergenline Ave Union City NJ 07087 at 8h40 pm. I saw a lady inside. I open the door. I said, "Hello. I am your customer and I have a problem. Can you help. Me." She was angry. She showed me the time on her phone saying, "It's my time to leave. I can't add even 1 minute so please go out," holding the door (please check the camera). She talked to me like, "Go out or I call the police." I feel myself not customer. Maybe a drunk man looking for troubles that made me high blood pressure. Metro pcs made me sick.

This morning I realized right after Metro customer service opened my phone started to acted up. Everything they are over the texts, internet. They open up at 6:00 am and at 6:30 my phone started to malfunction. Everything worked fine from 5:00am until 6:30am. Everything stopped working around the time they opened.

I have had issues with Metro in the past but my service is always there no matter where I am for the most part. I can't complain on that. I went to Metro store today to do an upgrade and the prices for upgrade where double the price than what a new customer would pay. This seems backwards to me especially since I have been a customer now for many years. My ex and I split five years ago and I put my number in my name but yet for some strange reason when I call anyone it says his name on caller id and when I pay it shows Hi and his name. He has his own account and like I said it's been five years since we split up. Crazy. But what is most upsetting is that new customers get better deals than existing ones.

Updated on 03/25/2023: This is a follow up to my first review of Metro By T-mobile on 3/21/2023. Originally I was trying to get a refund for my hotspot. The people in customer service are nice but boy do they need more training Thus here is my follow up as this is no way to run a business. If I could rate a zero I would. Follow up on 3/25/2023. I called Customer service again this is hour #6 folks, it's now not about the money, it's about follow through and how their process works. I was told after some conversation with a representative I could return the hotspot but would have be a corporate office. I said, "Ok I'm in San Antonio, TX. What is the number." I was given the number. I called and it was a wrong number. The story gets even better (or worse).
I call Metro-by T mobile again and see If I just wrote down the wrong number. I find out from the next representative there are no cooperate offices in San Antonio. Nearest is Fort Worth or McCallen, TX which are both a long distance away at least 200 miles. I said Ok give me the numbers of each office maybe I can work it out with the store I bought it from and the corporate office. I get the number and the first one I call 682-323-5678 after some conversation is not a corporate office. The person I talked to gives me another number 469-241-2636 and every time I call I get a busy signal. At this point I figure that I can't compete with the ineptness of this company so I'm done with calls. If you are considering this service it is not my recommendation. Try another company as customer service tells you all you need to know
Original Review: Metro By T-mobile service. I bought a hotspot to use for a month while in our travel trailer. The Hotspot service was poor even though I had almost all bars on receive. There were many dropouts and disconnects. Also when trying to connect to my equipment at home it was not accessible. To test out the access I went to a McDonald's restaurant with free WIFI and had no problem connecting. Also my Verizon phone used as a hotspot had no problem with access either. I spent many hours on the phone with Metro and no solution or refund was granted even though I closed out my account before 1st month was up. Even though I had closed out the account early they still keep sending me billing statements. I end up re-doing my Verizion account with more data. Lesson Learned. Don't use this service as you get what you pay for and in my case with Metro it was poor and frustrating customer support with no refund.

I was with Boost Mobile and I heard about the promotion from Metro if you switch you get a free phone you get the $70 Plan for $40 a month. I went in a store in California city with my boost phone in order to change Plans and get my free phone. The girl on the register said it shows I was already a metro customer so I would not be allowed any of the free phone good plan et cetera. I explained to her, "I've been with boost for years and years and I don't care what your computer says I am not currently a metro customer." So instead of contacting management or calling anybody she just showed me the screen and said, "It shows that you are a metro customer."
I was highly upset at this time so I needed a new phone with a better camera. I needed a better plan overall. So I wanted to take advantage of The worldwide advertised deal that they are offering everybody to switch. Instead I got charged a $129 for the phone, A $125 To activate And pay my 1st month's plan which was supposed to be $40. She said to go home and call the 611 customer service and see if there was anything They could do for me. So when I got home I called and the customer rep on the phone said, "The store was mistaken. It shows that you became a metro customer at the exact time and day that I was there to switch plans." They told me to go back to the store the next day, talk to the manager Which I did and he was no help either.
I told him I wanted a refund for the phone and I was willing to pay the taxes on the phone which was to be about $35. I even said just put the rest of the balance that you would be returning to me towards my bill so I wouldn't have a bill for a couple months. He said, "Well I can't refund you any money. Are you gonna give me the phone back?" And I said, "Absolutely not. You have a worldwide campaign going on about Switching free phone great plan et cetera." Again I walked out of there with no resolution.
I called customer service again and they said they would file my complaint and extradite it to the complaint department because I shouldn't have been treated that way and they should have given me the deal that everybody else in the world is offered to switch. I have heard nothing back from anybody at this point. I was treated disrespectfully in the store. The only people that treated me with respect were the people on customer service on the phone. It's unfair and I want this addressed.

My wife has been a customer of MetroPCS for almost 10 years. She loves this phone service with a passion. She is a hard-working mother of 5, currently attending a University, while juggling a full time job as a teacher for a charter school. Recently, on January 29, 2023 around 11 a.m. or so we had encountered an inconvenience. My wife had broken her iPhone and decided to buy a new one. The process was that she had to switch the account from her broken phone to her new phone. Since her phone was broken she wasn't able to view the screen.
This resulted in my wife not being able to see her screen and produce the security code that was being sent to the broken phone. She was able to verify her account with other information, including her 8-digit security passcode. She was then ask a series of questions with one of them being "What month did you start your MetroPCS?". We fell out in laughter. As stated before and to reiterate, my wife has been a customer before cell phones were even a thing. So of course she couldn't provide the answer to that question and we requested a supervisor.
The supervisor who pick up our case, her name is Laura. (Please refer to the phone call on the date listed above for actual name and spelling). Laura was EXCEPTIONAL. She believed and understood the issue at hand immediately and showed willingness to compromise with a long term costumer that resulted in 100% satisfactory. Her position precedes her and as the power of a long standing customer I recommend that she is promoted or granted some type of financial incentive for the way she went above and beyond. I've read the mission statement for MetroPCS.
It states, "Our mission is to offer consumers an exceptional experience within the wireless industry. By raising expectations and meeting them with excellent customer service, quality products and affordable flat rate plans, we act as a leader in the wireless communications industry." Laura displayed excellent customer service to a tee and I'm proud to say that me, my wife, as well as majority of the members of my family are MetroPCS customers not only because of the service but because of wonderful human beings like Laura. Thank you!

Was guaranteed the receiver phone by the 23rd. Phone has not moved from the UPS location since Saturday morning. They keep telling us "It's in transit," "It's in transit."

Kept trying to get us to buy another phone instead of reimbursing this or sending out a new phone and call him back the package if found.
Really really sad that all the American jobs go to people that cannot speak clear English or understand what we are looking for. If they had a supervisor manager that could resolve most of their problems such as reimbursements replacements over the phone I guarantee they would not have this many bad reviews. We have been with them as a family for over 25 years. T-Mobile/Metro PCS and this is the saddest porous service we've ever received and it's getting worse.
Employees are not properly trained on products, how they operate, functionality or anything, just upsell, upsell, upsell to try to make their quota or profits whatever they're getting!

I have been contacting customer service for almost 4 months now on an issue they are having, applying a discount to my account. Should be real simple, but it still has not been applied! When I call customer service each time, I get a different answer. Mostly they tell me that the problem is on the government's end and when I call the government they tell me everything is all set on their side. I just need to have my service carrier do their part. 4 months later and it’s still not done.
The customer service line never can give a straight answer and that’s if you can understand them. I’ve been hung up twice, lied to multiple times and when I asked for the corporate number, they tell me they don’t have a corporate to call. So apparently the call center is running Metro PCS!

Calling “customer service” is a waste. The reps hardly understand what your issue is so the help they offer isn’t worth anything.

IDK what everyone is saying but I've been a customer for ten years and not one have I had an issue. Even in the mountains I had perfect service. Unfortunately I left because most of their clientele are poorer folks and can't afford the expensive phones. Metro started doing payment plans on high end phones right. So I tried getting 3 phones. They had none and said they haven't gotten any s22 or s21 in a very long time. They were also out of most iPhone. Mind you I live in South Carolina. I called over 100 stores in Virginia, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama. Not one store had any high end phones. I was told they had no idea when or if they would get any in. So I decided to leave due to not being able to get the phones I want.
Although the 5g style is an awesome phone I wanted the best. I can't be with a company that can't keep their stock up and when you offer no credit check phone plans to the poor they fly off the shelves because they can't afford them otherwise. No I'm not being ignorant. I use to be very very poor. It's just a fact. I went to Google fi and got 2 galaxy s22 ultra and 1 2022 5g stylus for 108$ and the Galaxy were 700 off a piece and 200 off for the moto so I decided to leave. Too bad metro is a great service.

The service was good the first 30 days but after your phone goes past the 30 days of return, it starts malfunctioning. I lost count on how many times I had to go to the actual store for them to get my phone starting again. Also I can't just go into any Metro and expect for someone to help, I can only go to the original store I purchased my phone from for any type of help, which is well beyond a huge burden seeing how it's no longer close to me. The actual service works when it likes to. My WiFi is far more of a secure and reliable connection for important calls, I definitely will be dropping this service ASAP. This is just something for T-Mobile to gain a bunch of money without having to actually provide a decent service to its customers.

What Metro doesn't tell you is that when call volume is high YOU will be deprioritized so that T-Mobile customers have full service but you won't be able to get service or calls will drop. Every call or website visit you will be reminded of the ACP program. As a disabled veteran I qualify. 3 times I have completed the national verification process and completed the separate metro application, advised it will take 1-2 billing cycles to apply the credit. Yet it wasn't. I spent 45 minutes on the phone with an agent yesterday, filled everything out again and was advised that they would have it applied immediately. Then the call dropped. It didn't get resolved.
I called today only to have the 1st agent start quoting the 'process' once again. She refused to listen to me as I advised that I have heard this over and over again. I requested a supervisor. After waiting another 20 minutes, the supervisor then began quoting me the same process. I interrupted and ask if they were able to access notes from my conversation yesterday. He said yes, but, there is no way that the credit can be processed before 1-2 billing cycles. So, instead of looking up the notes he just cited the process again. I told him I have already had gone through this process for 4 billing cycles and Metro has not applied this credit. His response was to ask if I had completed the Metro form the day before and I said yes the agent went through that with me to make sure it was correctly entered into the system and apply it immediately. He responded that it will take another 1-2 billing cycles and this one doesn't count.
I am FED UP with the horrible service that the 'undercarrier' provides. It is obvious that T-Mobile doesn't care about their Metro customers and if they treat ANY customer like this then I don't want to give my money to them.

I wanted to change my bill date just cause I changed jobs and now get paid once a month instead of biweekly and I’m short the money for the upcoming bill. So I call, wait 15 minutes to talk to a representative only to be told it’s going to cost me $30 to change my billing date. Online it said $5 plus taxes or other fees. Apparently there’s a $25 charge because I’d still be using the service beyond the original due date. I wish they’d been transparent about that on their site. The representative then tried to suggest going down to their $30 a month plan after I said I don’t have $30 at the moment numerous times.
The service is alright. I’ve been in both rural areas and bigger cities. The only time I had issues was when I worked in a mall and it would randomly tell me I had no service even when I was outside of the mall and the occasional drop/no signal when going through mountain areas. It’s a decent starting phone company for someone who’s trying to go more independent/trying to establish themselves so long as you don’t have to call customer service or have to change something through customer service.

I called 4 days ago to see why one of my 4 phones I have was not letting me unlock it with the METRO PCS Pre-Installed UNLOCK app that was on the phone (I purchased from a Metro PCS store, Paid In Full, and was activated in the store as well). After several attempts, constantly being told "rest assured" this will be taken care of and my phone is still network locked, during my call today was told it would be done within 72 hours!!! But, after 4 days, all the attempts, I am very skeptical this will be completed, even though being told "rest assured"...

Metro PCS is the WORST phone company I have EVER had! They let people access your account whose name is NOT listed on your account! They let ANYBODY make changes to your plan and mess your entire bill up! Mind you I have a 8 digit pin code that only I know. Their only solution to their mess up is to add a high security code. If someone bypassed my 8 digit pin, they surely can bypass a high security code. Metro PCS is ** and the employees lack common sense! I wish I didn’t have to give them the one star that I gave!

I only upgrade my phone when necessary. Mainly because despite of great deal every time my account is changed without my permission. Then endless phone calls of the blame game call the store... we can't do anything. So I had to change my phone died. An upgrade takes forever in the store so we decided to do both our phones in one trip. We got a free tablet with one month free with a monthly quote of first month free and monthly 102.76.
Just got my first bill for 110.00 and no free month. Four phone calls, hung up on and transferred several times and then sent to T-Mobile and then again to the main menu I finally hung up. No rep. had an id number or would give anything past a first name. I don't want their last name but without even any identifying number how are they accountable for anything. I do not dislike my service at all but last time I upgraded I got an additional $100 a month and this was fix with one long phone call. This time we are playing pass the buck and told repeatedly I will transfer you but they are going to tell you the same thing???? They did not get a chance to tell me because of the repeated transfer and no way to identify who I had already talked to...Please tell me I just got one hour of the wrong people and I do not need to go through changing four phone....

So, my son's phone just died. He uses Metro because of the high speed internet. I do not like them because they charge you things more cell companies do for free: But I went to the store in Bardstown KY on Monday June 13th, and instead doing a upgrade, set up a new line, because it was like 100 cheaper. Sales girl told me the phone I ended up getting was a great phone. Well the phone was defective; so I took it back on Thursday June 16th: they told me they couldn't just give me a new phone. It had to be shipped in, and it would take 2 days. I called on sat and the phone wasn't in, and they told me it would be in Monday FOR SURE: well on Monday, I called again, No phone: so I ask for manager or corp. number because I've been lied to 3 times already. She said she's have manager call, which she did not do: I called the customer service, who were friendly but absolutely no help at all! What a wasted service!
So anyway, I go back today Tuesday 21. Only one guy inside, he said the system was down, and he was only one there and my phone wasn't there; but don't worry it only takes 48 hrs. I said "It's already been 6 fricking days dude" so he called manager, who I could hear, who said, "Oh I tracked it and it's coming tomorrow!" Okay I'm not stupid, they did not order my phone until Monday when I kinda went off on them for lying to me.. So I'm just waiting to see if she's going to continue to lie straight to face again, and act like it was a shipping error when I know it was a sales clerk error! I really just want my dang money back as who wants a service where the sales people LIE & LIE & LIE????

I was experiencing some life difficulties and had to go with Metro PCS, leaving Boost. Screen was destroyed on my Galaxy Note after only 2 months and needed a new phone quickly, Metro had a deal, they were convenient so I went with it. In the door I was told the Motorola stylus was a equivalent to a note or close as I could get and for only $400 dollars, which I didn't have so he said, "but I'm going to give it to you for $300," also didn't have. I was beginning to think I'd just wasn't going to get a phone (was really looking for the free phone for starting service type deal as I had just spent what was a large some of money on my dream phone, quality and perfect for all my needs. I had been building my brand and needing to upgrade) just didn't have it.
Well the sales associate said I'd get the phone for $300 on a payment plan. He was being very elusive as far as details of service while assuring all was well, he was going to make sure I was good, even thru in a free case and that I would be receiving a email with terms of service. I was preparing to travel so not having a phone literally was not a option and my situation dealt with personal safety and protecting my child.
First 7-8 cycles went smoothly but ever since it's been a nightmare. They KEEP accepting my payment, fully restoring service (it's pre-paid/pay as you go) then shutting service off again. 4 months of this. This month they did it twice. Erroneously disconnected service, restored service, then disconnected again today which is why I'm here now. My balance was 45.50 paid 46 even, service restored, days later disconnected. So instead of a .50 credit, I now owe them 45.50....a week later on a pre paid account?
The reason I haven't left this horrible company is because I have 9 saved voicemails that are evidence for court involving domestic violence which I'm in jeapordy of losing right now because my service, that I paid for is disconnected and I'm unable to save them because of it. This is a huge inconvenience and losing these recordings can drastically hurt my side. I'm not sure what to do about this but I do know they are breaking the law. I feel violated, tricked and betrayed. I feel anxiety at the possibility of losing recordings I've saved up for months, willing to deal with the crap service if it meant I'd have the recordings that will validate and vindicate me and ensure my child stays with me. $FeathersUp1

The terms and conditions straight up says that you are not priority that they send signal to T-Mobile customers first and what's leftover we get. Why did they buy it and then able to act like they didn't and take our money to not provide service. It's a real bummer because it really was a great phone company but thanks to Corp greed we all get screwed.
To top it off I've been paying 10 extra dollars a month for insurance (which my phone had almost a 200 dollar deductible) for over a year. They denied my claim. This was the very last straw.

We had nothing but problems, they sent us a bill that we had activated a phone when we didn't, the store on Esplanade and San Jacinto in San Jacinto wouldn't even listen or look at the phone I had and said I did it. Very Rude. We decided to switch to Boost and as the change was processed sent a bill on the primary phone that she owed 104.66 dollars. Our due date was March 2, we were doing the change on Feb. 26th. They would not release her phone number, she had no phone for 3.5 days and Boost finally just gave her a new number. On the 2nd she got a text saying she own the $104.66. Needless to say it will not be paid as we owe them no money. From what I am hearing this is happening a lot. Charging extra money when you don't owe or charging you more than it should. We are finally at Boost with our phones and very happy. As I said would not recommend using this company.

If you have a SIM from any other carrier, you just put on your SIM into new device and everything will work great! But IT IS NOT GONNA HAPPEN WITH METRO!

And today I learned that if you go to the Metro store itself and go inside and pay your bill they charge you $4 for you to pay your bill.
This is my own opinion but I think it's pretty low of a company to charge their customers for extra dollars on their phone bill because they use their gas and drove to their store to pay their bill I wonder how many $4 in a day do they collect that's ripping people off that is Robbing their customers. The guy at the counter said, "Oh ma'am well all places do that." I'm sorry to say that if I had the means at that time and moment, I would have turned around, walked out and went down the road and purchased service through someone else.

I would of given 0 stars if possible. I have been a customer for over 3yrs, I started out there because the prices & service were decent for 2 lines. Well as time goes by I added 2 more lines on my account for a total of 4. But I begin to notice that my phone was dropping calls & running slow, I asked the other 3 people on my account how their service was, they all have the same issues I do. I called into customer support and the guy tells me he is sending a signal to my phone I need to shut it down and back on. When we hang up it will in some way reboot/update my phone. I go through the process and all it did was make Metro PCS my home screen!!
Now during this time I was looking to just upgrade my phone but here have NEVER ONCE IN 3 YRS gotten an upgrade offer! About a week after this failed reboot I FINALLY got an upgrade offer, I went in to claim not 1 but 2 phones and here I'm told they can't honor it. I would need to go to a corporate location which the closest one is like a 2-3hr drive from me!! Again I call customer support, I am told to go to a certain location not far from me and they would honor it. So I go there tell the guy behind counter about the entire matter, he tells me he can help me with it. I'm thanking god at this point, he gets phones out and then proceeds to tell me that I will be charged $259.99 each phone plus taxes!!! I was furious..That was full price! I said no and showed him the offer then he said "oh' no I thought you was talking about the new price sheet we just got faxed yesterday morning." And come to find out on the price sheet they were listed as $199.99 Not $259.99!!!
So I walked out having a few foul words to say about the whole ordeal! I felt like I was being scammed. That's how they treat loyal, consistent customers!! I don't care if it is a franchise, if the company sends an offer ALL METRO'S should HAVE TO COMPLY!! And now raising prices on insurance and goin in to pay your bill, come on that is so messed up that you are charged for paying your bill, no matter how it's paid. I am looking into switching providers, Hopefully they will start to acknowledge and show some type of respect to their customers now that Sprint joined up with Metro & Tmobile. We will see I guess, but by asking someone who still goes through them.

-5 Stars. The "Corporate Office", if that's what they call it, on Van Buren in Riverside, is more like the "Incompetent Office?" Marcel, Marciel, Maceo, whatever at this location is thicker than wood and an extremely unprofessional liar. Anytime a so-called merchant accuses two, not one, customers of lieing to save face is someone I NEVER wish to do business with, especially in my profession. His behavior was totally condescending and from the streets and I will need to investigate his discourteous behavior further. He stoops too low for my intelligence. You will lose customers with this bait and switch practice, I guarantee it. It is apparent that desperation is a factor. HONESTY, like it or not, is ALWAYS the best policy!! Unfortunately, bad news travels faster than good news and this location and employee are all bad news!!

I am a long time Metro Pcs customer, I have 3 lines and wanted to add another line, I went to the store and when I wanted to pay the attendant told me that their credit card machine was not working, so I had to pay with cash, for the additional line, gave him 40 dollars and the next day I was charged another 30 dollars, when I called customer service (If you can call them that) the person on the other line told me that the 40 dollars was not in the system (clearly the attendant pocketed the money) and also, that I should go back to the store because she is all the way in Africa and she can't go for me.... I can not describe how rude and unhelpful they are, like I read on another comment, if you want to keep your sanity, stay the hell away from Metro pcs.

I love the camera on this phone. It's the memory. But when it comes to connection or data the worst. Had nothing but issues for over 7 months with two local two lines and everything. I really wish Metro could show that they cared about their customers because before this I would have said they was one of the best services out here. But after the way I've been treated I got to say

I am with metro pcs and now T-MOBILE. I only gave 4 stars because metro is now owned bt T-MOBILE. I left T-MOBILE to go with Metro because T-MOBILE ripped me off. Right before I left T-MOBILE they said I owed them money and my bill was only around 100.00 or less a month and I had 3 lines and I still do. But T-MOBILE said I owed them over 1200.00 dollars. And tgey made me pay it for one month and they kept shutting me off because I refused to pay that kind of money. Especially since I did not owe them a dime. I had already paid my bill for the month. Plus you are not allowed to have contracts by law anymore. But t-mobile still does.
Plus now ever since metro got bought out by t-mobile, Metro went downhill. With losing calls and about 2 and a half months ago, I had a very important phone call at I:30 in the morning for court on zoom over the phone. Well we had just paid our bill and we did not have any reason to think our phones were not working. So we tried to get onto zoom for court and I couldn't. So had my husband try to call and his phone didn't work either. Now I am freaking out because this court hearing was absolutely a must phone call because it was a hearing for us not to get evicted from our home for 7 year and a half years. That we were still paying rent every month with covid-19 going on.
It was a very important phone call. Well neither phone worked. So because of the phones not working. We did get on, but we could not hear them and they couldn't hear us. Because of the phones not working. We lost the motion. So now the landlord can have us evicted. We lost everything because of the phones not working. Then I ran to my daughter's house which was about 1 mile away. Well I drove. To try to get the judge back on the phone. Well it was too late. That's when I found out that metro wasn't working at all. Because my daughter's phone was not working either and she also has metro.
Well we found out that metro closed down a whole zip code early that morning. And they never told anyone at all. They shut down my zip code 33411 and it was off from like 2:00am until 11:00pm that night. So metro didn't work for over 22 hours and they shut it down on purpose to do something but never even told anyone they were going to shut us down for a whole day. So because of them shutting down I am still going to court. And now we are totally broke. And can not pay another 1500.00 dollars that is due tomorrow. Before noon. Or we have 24 hours to get out. So no I wouldn't tell anyone to go with metro anymore because of t-mobile. Even though my bill for 3 lines is only 90.00 a month which is good. That's the only reason why we are still with them.

I genuinely feel sorry for TMobile for now having to deal with the infectious cancer that is Metro Pcs. Service drops every hour or so, internet throttling, interruptions, and I keep having to restart my phone to reactivate the service.. If you value your sanity and time.. STAY AWAY FROM METRO PCS.

I would not waste your time or money. Horrible service. Defected devices. Then customer service hangs up. Even supervisors have hung up. They catch attitude or lie to get you off the phone. They just simply don't want to help you. They are definitely not worth depending on out of experience. They just want money. Been a customer since 2010. There are literally the worse I've ever had.

Metro is a good mobile phone company. I have had less problems with them compared to other mobile phone plans. A little expensive but worth it. Their products are great, durable, easy to use. You get instructions in your phone box. They have their own website for bill paying, music and even one to let you know about all the great deals and promos.

My experience with Metro PCS has been "middle of the road". I've been a customer about 10 yrs. Their service has gotten better over the years but your connection really depends on how close you live to a cell tower and if there's a lot of trees around. My signal is terrible in certain parts of the city where I live. Their plans and prices are pretty good and a great value for me.

I've been a customer of Metro PCS for years. I've experienced numerous issues but the humdingers are this last 4 months (May 2021- Aug 2021) have been just outrageous. Due to Sprint merger and over use of network due to Covid, your calls will drop. Your texts will fail to send. While doing Doordash you will lose service randomly and GPS will stop working. Your data will say it's fast but it tanks quickly and you can barely watch videos much less game in any app.
Their insurance is a scam. Don't pay for it. Support is horrible. Never pay your bill ahead of time. I got robbed at gun point and they forced me to rebuy my phone and changed my number and the thief got a free month's service. So much for insurance. They will lie and say nothing is wrong with the service but it's so congested right now. T Mobile and are priority then Sprint then Metro users = trash service.

Metro has been my reliable cellphone provider for the past 2 years. My bill never changes and is very budget friendly. I received a fantastic smart phone free of charge with my first payment, no strings attached, 2 years ago, and it still runs beautifully. Why pay more when you can get the best without the extra cost and hassle? Go Metro!

I have a big problem with MetroPCS, I keep getting dropped calls on my Wi-Fi, I've called MetroPCS about the program a half dozen times, they haven't done anything to help me, they said they were going to switch cell towers, they told me tech support was supposed to email me, they never did, they say I'm sorry a lot, but they don't do anything to fix the problem, I still have a problem with dropped calls, this has been going on for over 6 months, and they haven't done nothing to solve the problem, I used to think that MetroPCS was a decent company, I've been with them for 3 years, but now I'm on the verge of changing my mind, as well as maybe looking for a new cell phone carrier.

The wireless coverage with Metro PCS is excellent. Better than ATT in my area, and the cost is less than half per month. The reason I did not give five stars is that they do not offer a discounted price to continuing customers on their new phones. Most of the phones they offer are poor quality, and the phones that are of high quality, continuing customers must pay full price for, or buy them on discount someplace else and bring in to connect.

I had to call customer service five times. Talk to two supervisors. Both gave me the wrong corporate number to file a complaint against them after I found out they put the wrong CVC code in their system which was rejecting our card after a year of paying with same card. They told me in the beginning it was a problem with their app. That we should keep trying, gave us two 72 hour extension until they're at was fixed and each time only after 24 hours they suspended our phone twice.
I demanded a refund for at least half or bill for next month and they were only authorized to give me $5 off which is ridiculous with the amount and hours I spent on the phone with them calling bogus numbers they gave me for corporate and the anxiety and frustration of wrong information. I recommend highly that no one chooses Metro. At least with T-Mobile or Sprint you get accurate and fair problem solving situations. In the past I had both T-Mobile and Sprint and they were fine. They couldn't even transfer me to a manager because they said they had no managers which is another ridiculous outcome for a customer service agency.

I have been a customer of MetroPCS since 2014 and until recently was a satisfied customer. Coverage was great, service was great, nothing that I can think to make me want to switch service. That was until I had to call customer service and on another occasion, technical support. I was informed that Customer Service and Technical Support were one and the same. But we haven't troubleshot anything. Billing...wow...that was a nightmare. I'm going to have to say because of my area/region that I was routed to the same inbound center. Or tele-work. I must say the responses that I received were not even close to the responses I would have expected from a professional business. If QA/Training would have listened to any of the conversation it would have had a coaching event on their hands.
Responses were not correct, answers were misleading. It's a shame that this rep wasn't given the tools needed to perform her job. Customer Service, Tech Support, Escalation team...all three? Hmmmm... 3 strikes, each hat put on wasn't a fit. Her energy was great when taking the call and remained positive for the duration. I wish the service provided solved the problem. I know I'm only 1 person, but that's 1 person less using MetroPCS services. Contact Center Operations

My family and I have been loyal customers of Metro pcs for years. We had 4 lines. My fam and I currently moved to Colorado and bought a new unlocked iPhone and contact Metro pcs to make the change from one phone to another. The phone was properly working for two days, then no calls came thru or went out. I contact metro pcs several times about the issue. They said would get it resolved. It never did.
Since I couldn't get anyone to help me by phone with this matter I decided to go to the store. Speaking with the agent, she tried doing everything she could. She even contact headquarters to see how she could help me with this matter. The agent on the line informed her to tell me to just buy a new phone. That he could solve the issue, just buy another. I immediately had A DISAGREEMENT WITH THAT AGENT ON THE PHONE. No respect for other people's income, thinking we can just buy another phone just like that. "Very disrespectful" I am very unsatisfied and want my money back for the months my phone was not active and they still charged me, which they are refusing. This was a fraudulent charge and I want it remove from my account. Which they refuse. I would like to get this matter resolved.

While Metro PCS is ok for texting it is almost unusable for streaming and gaming. When streaming, my phone will sometimes have to buffer for 3 or more minutes before playing content and when it does start it constantly freezes for more buffering. It has literally taken me over an hour and a half to watch a 40 minute show. When gaming, the game is constantly freezing or has problems logging in due to connecting errors. I might understand this if I was in a rural area but I am right in the middle of urban Sacramento. I can’t wait to leave Metro and seek a better service.
