This is the worst service ever. I would give this service to a blind person. The customer service does not help. I don't care how many time you claim you changed my towers the service still sucks and I stay in the city. No signal 90% of the time. Call drops. Can't be heard. Phones are garbage & refurbished.

Metro PCS franchises out locations (most of them) to Foreigners (Middle Easterners) & when you call for service the reps are in India etc and have a total disrespect & disregard for Americans that pay their ungrateful salaries. They offer the least expensive phone deals giving you least effective brand new phones but don't tell you (Up front) that within that service you will NOT be able not make FREE business conference calls, you will NOT get trouble Free reception on their basic or so-called unlimited data plans, you will also frequently NOT have usage of your phone @ all when they force you to do upgrades!!! This is dangerous if you have a life changing emergency at hand and need to reach someone or call 911.
You should NEVER not be able to access your phone use if your bill is currently paid. ABSOLUTELY DO NOT do business w/ them. There are lots of other reputable businesses that offer great plan deals and respect to its customer base simultaneously. And don't be fooled by their affiliate "Mint" phone company they come up w/ new names all the time to get you to be under the same old T-Mobile (bad reception/ terrible customer service) entity. With METRO PC "MESS" you get EXACTLY & precisely what you pay for!! I pays to spend a lil bit more for a lot more in the end.

Been loyal to Metro for 20 years but they don't care a pinch about it. They just downgraded my data plan from 3GG to 2GB a month just by switching over to a new phone. They're becoming greedy and don't care of current financial situation of people to take advantage of them. Looking to switch to a different carrier real soon!!!!

Listen, a few months ago this company sold me a defective phone. I repeatedly since day one have been back and forth with them on this freaking issue. I have spoke with and messaged several people. One rep told me that they accidentally fried my card and that she was submitting a ticket for the company to send me a replacement phone. She said I should see it in two weeks. A month later...I called asking where it was. Response? 'We have no record of that conversation and you can't have another phone for free' (no joke). Mind you this phone HAVE WORKED AT ALL AT WORK TEXTING OR INTERNET since day one. (Day one!!!)
I am supposed to be paying $60 month UNLIMITED but my phone only works at HOME!!!! Then tonight Ebony (who claims to be the supervisor on FB Messenger) said I cannot have another phone device for free. Her exact words 'that isn't possible'. She also said I couldn't be credited to my account for all the the dang months I have paid for NO SERVICE!!!!

I just changed to Metro by T-Mobile and I'm loving the phone so far and the service but I just wanted to give the praise to the worker that helped us with everything we needed. She went over and Beyond to make sure we were happy and we were walking away with everything we needed. The worker Karina on Northwest Expressway in Oklahoma City should get the highest praise because she truly cares about her customer's happiness and knows all the answers to any of your questions.

I swear by my life on this. I will preface this now, because I know once you start reading you will ask why put up with it? I am disabled and on a fixed income, and I look after my elderly mom. Anyways this is the worst customer service I have ever experienced in my life, when I tell you their customer service has made me somewhat prejudiced towards outsourced call centers csr's, and full of rage I once threw my phone at the wall. This is only addressing their outsourced call center agents, not the typical meh customer service you get at their stores.
While going through health issues, my mom deemed I needed a phone. I never really did smartphones before and only did prepaid phones from Walmart over the years, because I like to talk in person to people & I'm old fashioned. Anyways for my birthday she got me a phone from Metro PCS and I went with what I thought was an okay phone.
Fast forward to having network issues and making the horrible mistake of calling 611 lol. I had many agents do 1 of 3 things. Network device refresh, troubleshoot, or set up tickets. I think over the 4 years I have had hundreds of tickets setup for me, and never once did technical support ever call me back. These outsourced agents get paid money for doing nothing. 99% of time they set up tickets and say wait 3-5 business days and you will be contacted. Never do. I had so many network device refreshes put on my phone, they put notes on my account that I can never get another one ever, but take my $60 every month.
I had agents tell me that I was trying to get free crap, and I was a thief, I had so called supervisors never answer any of my questions in regards to whatever issue I was calling in about, but tell me I was just trying to get network device refresh. I have offered to email them screenshots of whatever my issues were with the phone, they never allowed me to but called me thief, liar, and freeloader. They have made me so mad, I have thrown my phone at the wall by my La-Z-Boy because the supervisor never listened. I swear every outsourced agent hates Americans, get paid for nothing other than saying things in a nice tone but never listening, and setting up tickets to get you off the phone.
They never provide any real solutions or help. They tell you to go to store, after a while. No matter the agent, whether nice in tone or not, I never talked to people so cold blooded and hearted. Even the supervisor don't care when you tell them how you have been treated by agents, seem so nonchalant. I have had agents lie to me, I have had agents do whatever to get me off the phone. I realize now they only have 4 modes, network device refresh, setup tickets, barely any real tech troubleshooting, and putting another agent on the phone who pretend to be a supervisor. That's been my experience for 4 years. I have had agents constantly yawn on the phone like they are bored , and nonchalant. I mean these people can do whatever and still get paid. I have said in the past out of anger how I wish I had their job since they pretty much do anything, and in America we don't treat people like that.
I would tell everyone in the world my experience and anyone not strapped for money to run to a better carrier. Far away from Metropcs. I only am still with them because of $60 unlimited data, and Amazon Prime. That's it. I tried visible but their speeds were worst and customer support is still rough around the edges. I bought their r2 phone and it died a week after purchase, on top of network issues, they refunded for bad services but not the phone too.
I am still with Metro pcs but for the love of all that is holy, run away from these people. I truly mean it. The outsourced call centers are filled with Satan's who will talk to you in a nice tone but will ultimately treat you like crap(other 4 letter word). I'll end on my most recent call ins. 2 days ago I call in due to mobile data timing out, 1st male agent ignores me constantly and telling me it's just deprioritization, lies about pinging the nearest tower towards me(after he wastes my time for an hour). 2nd female agent does the tower ping, and issue still persists. I call in the following day, female agent keeps lying and dragging out things, hoping I'll hang up so I don't speak with a so called supervisor.
I speak to so called supervisor, who constantly cuts me off. Especially when I tell her how I've been treated over the 4 years, and how I rarely call in because it's a joke to. Instead I search Google and forums in regards to my issue. I ask her about Northwest Indiana and if that's what's causing my data to work one minute and stop the next. She couldn't answer my question. I demand compensation for 4 days of service issues, with data starting and stopping. She sets up ticket, and gives me $10 compensation. I tell her thanks, and then she ends the call with thank you for me telling me your problems really fast.
Metro pcs call center is that in name only. I wish I could travel and work there in the Philippines (where many agents tell me they are) metro pcs call center. I mean they can do and get away with anything with 0 repercussions. They can talk to you any kind of way, as long as it's a nice tone. I truly believe it's an American hatred there too.
They have made me very negative towards all Philippine call centers, especially if outsourced by Metro pcs. If I can find the same speeds, and package elsewhere I would totally leave. I don't like being abused. I wish I had been smart and recorded the worst of the worst over 4 years so I could sue Metro pcs, their call center has caused me so much mental anguish over the years, that I have become conditioned to pay my bill and avoid customer service altogether unless I want to be abused and mistreated as a handicapped ** person in the south.

Aug 25, 2020 at a franschise Metro PCS store reinforces similar experience at another franschise location in 2018. Each and every service is charged at some rate you don't hear about until after you've invested time explaining something simple that they can set a few parameters on your phone in front of you. In 2018 it was configuring an android byo phone to use their network. Back then I was to be charged $50 to set network parameters. This was after he charged me for SIM card and installed it. I was so upset, I refused, took my phone home, searched on internet, followed instructions and activated my phone at home.
Today, I wanted to move one active phone number to another active metro pcs phone. Had both phone and SIM card. He charged me $21.69. As I stared at the empty store, the young kid behind the glass, I knew this business model was wrong. In the search for profit and low prices by metro pcs, the franschisee is forced to make profit on each service encounter. The more you can nickel and dime each service encounter, the greater the profit. The worse the customer experience. Though I feel for the franschisee, metro pcs has seen the last nickel and dime from me. There has got to be a better way than this to provide an economical phone service and satisfactory customer service. With baby bells and landlines, at least the service was much better than this.

On Monday August 17, 2020 I couldn't place phone calls from Austin, Texas to Dallas. From Monday through today (Wednesday), the customer service phone number does not work. It opens your myMetro app and says to follow the instructions on the screen and the call closes. And there are no instructions on the screen except "pay your bill" which is not due yet. No way to contact Metro PCS about why can't I phone Dallas. Chat on their web site says to call customer service.
When I complained to the Better Business Bureau on Monday, their "executive response" phoned me Tuesday, and told me that, you know, there is an epidemic, you know, and they are finding it hard to keep their call centers open all of the time, you know? And, you know, that's how the world works! It took him 2.5 minutes to keep repeating that. When I hung up he called back and started in again.
Since he didn't say the call centers are CLOSED due to the epidemic, but that they are having trouble keeping them open, I read this to mean that Metro PCS' contractor is packing its call center employees like sardines and they're all getting sick, taking the disease home to their families and starting outbreaks in communities that didn't necessarily already have outbreaks just as happened in the U.S. meat packing industry.
I won't do business with a company like this. I immediately switched to another phone carrier. I wrote T Mobile's CEO and told him why. As soon as I get my new phone and port my number I am OUT of there. Previously I've found that I almost get my money's worth with this company. Service usually works, but customer service is unprofessional and not knowledgeable.

Today is August 3rd, and I had the pleasure of being in Metro PCS in Plano Texas on Parker Road at Avenue K. Like most reviews customer service was always the problem for me. But let's talk about today August 3rd 2020. I had the most unspeakable exceptional customer service from Ricardo and Angela the store manager!! Very attentive. Very suggestive about the phones, the both of them were very apologetic because I had to wait 10 minutes for the phone to be program which wasn't a problem for me because like I said I truly enjoyed the service from both of them.

Good day: I'm a 67 years old Hispanic nurse, to report a bad experience in the MyMetro store located at 1014 N 24 st, Phoenix AZ 85008. I'm a generous client who gives tip for taking care of me and ** recognize me and took care of me, there was another worker with her that was all the time looking at her cellular, small office, with no customers. Only one person to do a payment during my stay. ** recommend me to have a Samsung and I gave her a tip of $10 dollars which she took it without any thanks to me. She help me to set the cellular and I paid cash. $120.00. She told me if any questions to call her.
When I arrived home I had problems with the new cellular and called her 10 times and no answer, sometimes I heard a cox message box asking for a code, at the 10th time her assistant told me that ** wasn't there. I drove to the Metro office and as entered. ** and her assistant were playing cards with no masks and not the 6 feet distance from each other. I wasn't happy with all this situation and I want my money back which she refused stating she makes the decision because she is the manager. Due that I forgot my yahoo password she changed to my phone number, action that I felt uneasy and (using face mask) make me approach to have a view what she was doing and seeing, ** reacted hysterically that I supposed to be distant 6 ft and so on.
I went to the Thomas rd store and explain my situation with the employee who spoke to her manager but explain the situation in different order of events, the store manager called ** and after speaking with her she told me that ** denied it and the manager added to make me feel bad "** is in the hospital having kidney dialysis."
Finally I went to the HQ to complain about my bad experience and the horrible cellular I received I spoke with the manager Dominick who told me that he can not help me and that I have to solve the problem with **. My last stop was in the store at Indian Road to prove that new cell can not sent pictures and the mymetro employee verify it that cell has a problem. I changed providers and not planning to have mymetro anymore. Why this company hired 2 people to run an empty store and being paying for playing cards and looking into their in working hours? Lost $120 plus tip $10= $130 plus having a horrible and embarrassing moments.

In the last 2 weeks I have been without phone service a total of 4 days. When I say without service I mean completely. No talk, text or data. No explanation as to why. No credit on my bill. No apology. When I did try to call in to find out what was going on I couldn't get through to anyone. It just said they were busy and hung up on me. Now tonight I can't send any text messages. I'm sitting in the same spot I have sat for the last 2 years, and my service was fine. So it's not that I'm out of their coverage area.
I have been with them for over 2 years now. Still have the same phone I got when I signed up. On my account it says I have a upgrade. So I called to see what my discount was. They said it's zero. Whatever the phone cost is online or in store is what I will pay for a new phone, but if I wanted to do the upgrade I would have to pay a upgrade fee. Gee why would I do that when I'm not even getting a discount on a phone. Just will go buy it outright. Plus I would have to pay a 15 dollar activation fee. On my line that is already active. Doesn't make any sense does it. Metro my T Mobile needs to get someone in their corporate offices that know what they are doing. I've been a loyal customer but you wouldn't know it by the way they treat me. Extremely disappointed in Metro service anymore. After 2 and a half years of service I'm going to go back to Cricket. We had better coverage anyways. Everything I have said is 100% true.

I've signed up with Metro PCS on June 11, 2020. A girl at the Greensburg PA shop was extremely nice and I left a positive feedback for her on Google Maps and to her manager. While the girl was nice, the phone and internet services were not that good. I've signed up for the highest $60 plan hoping to use the phone as a hotspot for my tablet as well. I wanted to purchase a hotspot device also, but I've been told by a representative that I would not need it. A week later I started to experience the problems. The phone connection was cracking up, people could not hear me on the other side. Internet was super slow, with constant "time out" and "can't connect you securely" messages. I came to another shop in North Versailles PA and said I would like to purchase a hotspot device to improve my internet connection, they said I did not need it and I walked away with nothing.
But internet was not working for another week again. So I thought I would buy it online since nobody wants to sell it to me. I logged in but they did not sell it online, it says "find a local store". So I called the customer service and she said I should go to a local store. So I did. I came to Monroeville PA location, the store was closed with no signs on the door or anything. Actually the sign on the door was saying "open till 7pm" and it was 1pm. I drove to Penn Hills PA but the store was closed as well and the representative was standing outside smoking. He saw me coming but preferred not to notice me. I was standing at the door writing my review of him on Google Maps while he was standing next to me smoking with his back turned to me. What to do, I came back home, the internet still was really slow, I have missed several job assignments while waiting for the pages to load. My phone was working every other day.
Customer service did not help, 2 associates refused to sell me the device, 2 others just locked their doors. I decided to reach them out through their Facebook page. And, OMG, what I saw there - they do support riotings and mass robberies and vandalism and they are going to pay to those who was participating in those riotings. I absolutely did not want to be a part of it, it made the last point in my relations with this company and so today I am just switching the provider. P.S. It does not even let me to submit this review due to the slow connection. Geesh. I will try again.

I have been a loyal Metro Pcs customer since 2013. I decided to buy my Husband a new phone for Father's day. I went on Metro's website and purchased a $150 phone, screen protector, and case totaling $200. I received a confirmation email with an order number. It said if I ordered the phone before 3pm I would get the phone the next day. If I ordered after 3pm, i would get the phone the following day. It said I should expect a email once the phone has been shipped. 6/16 no email. 6/17 I decide to call Metro. The representative told me to respond to the email I received. I told her that I could not respond. She put me on a brief hold and when she came back she said your phone will be delivered via UPS by 3pm tomorrow. I said great.
6/18 no delivery. 6/19. I call metro and speak to another representative. He basically calls me a liar because there is no way that the previous rep could give me the ups information . I asked for the Previous customer service reps name and ID number. He was very reluctant to give to me. He gave me her Id number only. He told me the only thing I could do was WRITE to Metro and explain my situation. In the meantime my phone may or may not come. I was obviously upset and asked to speak to a manager. He put me on hold. Got back on the phone and said, "Hello mam." I said yes.. He then hung up on me. No we did not get disconnected. This is a huge company and this is how I get treated!

They sent me to Apple to unlock phone, Apple told me that Metro has the capability to unlock phone, and they do not however.

If you can avoid Metro PCS I advise you to. They dont tell you one when you pay for their insurance that they cant give you a phone if something happens to yours and you go into the metro store. At least not in VA. They have to mail it to you overnight. That is fine if you have another phone and if you are not in a medical urgent situation which did not matter to them. My choices were to get a phone like mine at full price or buy and upgrade meaning either one was 200 bucks. I asked if I would get any credit for my insurance and the answer was no. I then was told to call customer service who told me all metro was doing for covid and that didnt I have anyone who could help me with my financial situation. Which wasnt the issue I was making.
Then management at customer service said they could give me 25 dollars off my phone bill next month. Well no offense but they were giving discounted rates to many already because of covid. And it still was the fact I had insurance on my phone. I searched for 3 hours and made numerous calls to be switched from metro to t mobile. None of them said they had a number for their head office so you cant even get to the head people And the numbers on line for CEO office are bogus when you do reverse look up. And once they got my name and number they would connect me back to same people because they are covering their **.
They connected me with supposedly corporate here in VA to the store on Campostella in Norfolk. The manager there would not give me head office number. And said if I wrecked a car I couldn't get another car that day and etc. I said yes I could get a rental with my insurance. And when I said all the other phone companies you can go in a get a phone when you have insurance he said they are not every other company. And when I asked why the lady didn't tell me that He said she didn't have to and started yelling at me and hung up the phone. This whole company is bad and t mobile apparently too when you can not get a number to their main office and are mishandled by so many employees. If I had the time and energy I would be contacting 10 on your side and might yet.

I have been using their service for many years before TMobile bought them. They have always had the best deals. My issue is the last sales associate that sold and activated a phone for me sent out a text message from the NEW number to a scam artist without telling me. I thought she was nice so I gave her a great review because she literally begged me to give her a good survey review before walking out of the store. I am sure she received some sort of payment for my information. Ever since then I have been bombarded with scam calls a minimum of 6 calls and 10 texts PER DAY. Not just some random Nigerians, it is a scam operation. I literally communicate with 2 people each week, so these extra calls and texts are annoying. I will probably never use Metro PCS again once I buy my next phone. WARNING: SALES ASSOCIATES IN STORE CANNOT BE TRUSTED.

Phone that I had purchased from Metro PCS about four months ago quit charging so I went in to buy another phone. I asked the representative was the phone I was looking at compatible or it's similar to the one that I have on down to the charger. She said yes and that was a lie. Secondly I paid with a debit card and she said my card was declined so I thought that was a little off however I went and took the money out the bank and came back and paid in cash. Well come to find out my card wasn't declined at all. It actually went through so I told him that they owed me $160 from off the car so now they're telling me that I'm going to have to wait 7 to 10 business days and hopefully it up here back on my card.
As I was leaving the woman looked at me and said, "Are you having a girl or boy?" So I replied, "No I'm just fat." I thought that was really insensitive and harsh for someone to say something like that especially after they've taken an extra $160 from me. I plan on changing to another company as soon as I get my refund.

Not only did the lady tell me I could not receive help because I changed my plans before but she also stated that Metro is very strict at this time and they're not helping people although they sent me plenty of emails and messages stating that they would love to help.

What an absolute ordeal. I ordered a phone from their web store with ups 2 day ground shipping 4/23/20. Phone never shows up, although ups said it was delivered. Called UPS support, called Metro pcs support, neither company wants to take responsibility, blames the other company and expects me to sort it all out on my own.
After 3 days of calling finally got an investigation started but they take 8 buisness days to review. Had to re-order since I didnt want to wait 2 weeks to have a functional phone. Second phone has "unexpected delays" and 2 day shipping is now 6 day shipping asked Metro to investigate and they give me ups phone number and tell me to call them myself. It's been over 2 weeks, I have no phone, no refund and no answers, requested to speak with a manager, haven't gotten any response yet.

Soooooo.... during this pandemic a lot of places agreeing not to disconnect people's service, some cell phone companies are even giving people free months of phone service but not Metro PCS, sad part about it is I didn't even call for free service. I just called to get my payment date changed to 2 or 3 days after my original date that I had to pay because it was my pay day, she told me I would have a fee to pay & if I would have done it right then & there it would have cost me even more than to wait until the actual date it's due. So I said forget it, the day came for my phone bill to be paid the next morning I woke up they had cut my service off so I tried to do the extension they weren't even allowing that & I've never even used my extension before, so I went on paid the bill, once again this month I actually forgot to pay the bill woke up & service was off again, but I paid it.
Point of the matter unlike some places that's caring enough to let people go a month/months without paying a bill or letting people go without service interruptions because metro pcs only cares about money. Seeing what people are going through fortunately I'm able to pay my bill but what about the ones who can't. The ones still waiting on their stimulus check, the ones still waiting on unemployment to kick in. The people are completely selfish & heartless.

So I just got off the phone with Metro PCS's customer service. I called because I have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and there have been word going around that Metro PCS was helping their customers in this time by giving them credit/extension for up to 2 months. My mother received the credit for two months and she has metro PCS. I didn't think I would need this help because at the time I was an essential worker so I was just paying my own bill. But now, I am pissed because the moment I call to ask about it, they want to lie and say they never did it when I know more than one person that received credit/an extension for their phone bill with metro.
When I spoke to the customer service agent she tried to lie and say they never did such a thing and tried to redirect the conversation to another alternative. I would have went with one of those if I actually had that type of money to in this current moment. Then I asked to speak to a supervisor and just told her to not lie and be upfront with me. So she finally did, but when she started speaking about all of the fees and charges to change my due date which seems different than before because when I changed my due date in the store the fee to change it didn't go by days, it was a flat rate and I didn't have to pay the fee first just in order to change it, I paid it all on my new due date. So I am OFFICIALLY DONE with metro PCS.
I've had many problems with them in the past like being double charged or having multiple phone issues (which I shouldn't have because I take great care of my phones and I am very tech savvy so I know how to work with technology), but this was the icing on the cake. We are all struggling in this COVID-19 time, why give your loyal customers such a hard time and try to lie and push bogus deals on them like it's actually helping them? I would not EVER recommend them to anyone else ever again.

Well the process was kinda slow with having to submit my driver's license. I believe either 3 or 4 times cause the phone that I used while I was submitting my claim didn't take clear enough pictures for one and I'd get closer to my license and take another picture then you said it didn't have all my sku (I believe you called it) bars was all in the picture, then the front didn't show my information clearly, after (what I thought was to many retakes) I had to go borrow a phone just for pictures, to send again. My fiancee and myself both could clearly see everything on both sides of license. You said the corner was cutoff (not showing) which that's how I got my license from the DMV and the sky bars were cut off short by the DMV (not me).
I finally got them accepted luckily, but originally when I sent them the reply was everything was accepted, then a week or so I get an email asking me to send them over. Apparently they weren't accepted after I was told that they were, that's when they weren't clear enough or cut off or not showing everything, it seemed like just one thing after another. It took way too long to get my replacement phone and without anyone telling me that there would be other charges added before I could get an ok, that's when I got upset and told the receptionist that I was not informed beforehand and after wait for some time following your directions I was not going to pay anymore after being told it would only cost $50.
Before I even submitted my claim I was sure to ask questions before I started, and this phone just shuts off on its own, almost every time I start to call someone, or look some information up on the internet using Google and even Yahoo, so I tried iCloud and it still just shuts off. My electric went out night before last cause of wind and tree limbs, I tried to call my electric company and it shut off 3 or 4 times in a row, so I finally used a cheap AT&T phone and it dialed out with no problem. So the whole process was really waste of my time and yours cause this phone is a piece of junk.
I'm gonna see if Metro PCS will do something about it or trade for a different one, I just know that the phone that got stolen had a totally different number assigned to it than the number I was given. I looked in the settings and the number there was someone else's all together. My number was **. But the number in (about) phone was **. All my text and messages my information, etc. was being sent to this other person's phone apparently, I sure wasn't happy with that phone and it caused me way too much trouble and money. I had drive many places and contact even more companies to close bank accounts, I'm on disability so I had to get a new card for that, and I'm sure whoever that number belong to was getting my passwords, I'll probably never get another phone from metro pcs, this is my 3rd phone I bought from them. They knew these phones was junk when they sold it to me. I kinda glad it was stolen along with my old one also.
I've done some research on these Alcatel phones and found out from a phone technician that this make of phone has a virus embedded so deep internally that even virus, malware's, and all other removal items can't even remove it. I'm sure metro also knew this fact when they sold it to me and other victims. And this replacement phone shuts off all the time by itself, especially when I really need to call someone. So your return policy needs to be revised and updated really badly.
I'm gonna be posting everything I know about this type of phone and how metro pcs takes advantage of people that aren't knowledgeable about phone's, my last phone I bought from them wouldn't even updated the same day I received it and I took it back to them 3 weeks later and they told me it was too old to update, so they had to know that information before they sold these Alcatel phones to the public, very unhappy with metro pcs, I'm gonna make sure everyone I know Will be informed about this type of phone and how metro pcs takes advantage of everyone that relies on them to being knowledgeable about their products. If you had to replace this type of phone you should inform people about the phone, not just replace this phone with another piece of junk, get an option to replace with a Samsung or iPhone or anything but this junk.
I'm sure hoping that whoever stole my phones can use them anymore to hack into my information. I even had protection on them so no one could get my information. These China made junk phones should be removed from service. Yes you could do a lot better job replacing them with a good dependable phone at least one that works when it's really needed. At the same price. I also found a name that was associated with that number in the about phone I'm sending it also. I also found a picture that was associated with sending me uninvited remarks and emails and that name was Jacky **.

I'm worn out from the ZERO Level of concern those in charge of the things that we need the most just to survive these days truly have and after telling me that I had nothing to worry about when I called my new phone provider Metro PCS to tell them I have about 7 dollars to my name...

The problem arose when I realized that the phone I had gotten, one I had thought was going to be awesome, is anything but. It lags. It's glitchy. It is literally IMPOSSIBLE to move any apps to an SD card, which makes the 32gb of internal storage fill up quickly, especially if you don't pay attention and make sure your photos and stuff save to external storage. And I reviewed the policy for returns and called 611 and was told that there should be no problem exchanging the phone for another one at the location I got one from originally, ESPECIALLY since it was also a repair and warranty center.
So I called the location this morning and was told that I could call back at 3:30 this afternoon and talk to the manager, but they were almost certain that they wouldn't be able to help me. I still have the receipts, the accessories, and am only missing the box, but Customer Care said no problem and the local retailer acted like there isn't a lengthy policy online just for situations like mine. So I guess I'm stuck with a disappointment of a phone, paying for a plan I'll barely use. Starting to wish I had just gone somewhere else for service altogether.

Omg! I went to the Metro PCS place of business located 6805 North 19th Avenue in Phoenix, Arizona 85015 on March 8th to get my cellphone serviced and there was only one worker in there. For over an hour, waiting to receive service while this "young lady", was chatting away on her cellphone, using very bad language and to top it off, I had to listen to "filthy rap music" while I wait to get my cellphone serviced. Finally, I couldn't take it any longer. I left, customers service is very much lacking at this location. A lot of people don't want to wait for over an hour and listen to cuss words from the worker and blasting the same on her radio. I will be finding another cellphone company to transfer to that has a better cellphone and better customer service personnel. This grandmother doesn't like to hear profanity nor pay for lousy commercial filled service.

I switched to Metro because it had a lower priced family plan than the provider I'd been with for 10 years.. What a mistake that was. Over 4 months I had 2 different phones, both of which failed due to faulty charging ports. On numerous occasions I couldn't connect when on the road, which was very frustrating when I was trying to get directions. The staff at the shop I went to were nice enough, but clearly hadn't had much training. When the first phone stopped charging after 6 weeks, I went to the store and the employee told me I could get a free replacement.
When I went (3 days later!) to pick it up, a different employee told me I'd have to pay for it because the warranty period had expired. He confirmed that by phone with his supervisor. It took my talking to the supervisor to convince him that replacing free of charge was the right thing to do. When the second phone had the same connectivity issues and then stopped charging like the first one had, I switched back to my tried and true (and now equally affordable) provider. What a hassle that all was.

I was with Metro PCS/TMobile for approx. 2 years. I had the $50 monthly plan for unlimited data, phone calls and texts. The data was not actually "Unlimited;" because: (1) toward the end of every month - no matter how much or how little data I used - the data always slowed down. A text message from Metro-PCS would appear on a given date and indicate or inform me that my internet connections, etc., would slow down automatically, because I used up "X" amount of data before that date and time. Again, although I would have used only a few gigabytes of data, not even approaching "Unlimited." (2) The in-store customer service people could not/would not help me with problem resolution - except one office near the midtown Manhattan, NYC area.
(3) The "Customer service headquarters" for New York city is located in Harlem, on 125th Street. Any and all physical-technical matters/issues, i.e., those dealing with cellphone repair, etc., have to be taken care of/addressed at that store and that store only. That is a tremendously inefficient way to do business for all of New York City- in that, a person must travel for 1 hour or more on the subway to get to Harlem, New York, to have their phone fixed or looked at, examined, etc. (4) No customer service personnel would unlock my Metro-PCS phone after I had purchased it, owned it. Thus, I lost money when my phone could have been unlocked and taken my phone to another phone service and used it on a different, i.e., other-than Metro-PCS/TMobile carrier.

I feel that Metro PCS is a phone company for someone who don't have no money or a lot of it. I should say is budget but at the same time is no. Not a lot too. It is very straightforward. My problem is is that with these prepaid companies it's like you're treated like a stepchild is like 80% of the time a message goes through or you have a little faulty here there. Maybe that's because of the price or whatnot so in a way I feel like a stepchild in an old Cadillac. When it comes to my plan sturdy secure. Just a little outdated up.

But in November I moved onto like country area and my service didn't work unless I was on wifi or my friends hotspot unless I was heading to the city with my friends whenever they stopped by. So month go by. Auto pay successful. Exactly a week before Thanksgiving 2019 30 days of service. 1gb only used. 60 dollars. Around December 10 called. Told them the situation. No service at my home, only wifi maybe once a week. When headed to the city I get a service but they said they were going to investigate so another successful auto pay. 2.1 GB. 30days. No calls. I don't talk so that 120 dollars. 3.1 GB. 2 months still no contact for investigation so I decided screw them.
I'm going go to another company and just use this phone I purchased in September. So I call customer service. So they say I been a great customer. Would everything to keep customers happy. So how can they help me. Gave her my info so I asked can I get my phone unlock. "Yes Mr. Have your phone unlocked right away." Then, "Oh your phone ain't eligible to be unlocked." Say it's not a leased phone. So in my mind I'm thinking when they start locking phone you paid $359 for with cash. No credit check so that's my phone.

"Just reactivate your service for 83 more days and it'll be unlocked." That right. Made me MAD AS HELL because I told her the situation and looked up the notes so confirms me she gets it.
Basically screw you and pay us 180 more and 87 days of useless service and wasted money.

In May 2019 I brought an unlocked phone (purchased from Apple, not Metro PCS) to the MetroPCS service. After using the service for a month I was not satisfied with the coverage areas it provided for my area. I went to switch phone service to another company and was told the phone had been locked to MetroPCS. I called their customer service and was told that I would have to wait 180 days for the phone to be unlocked again. Again, this is a phone that I purchased unlocked directly from Apple not through MetroPCS. Even after speaking with a supervisor, asking for Customer Relations, etc. they still would not unlock phone. So I waited. 180 days was up 2 weeks ago. My phone is still not unlocked.
I've contacted Metro at least half a dozen times and keep being told a couple of different things: 1. the phone will unlock itself. 2. They've put in an unlock request ticket to Apple. I'm currently waiting 72 hours for the second time to have unlock request processed. Basically, I have had a $1000 paperweight for the past 6 months because of a wholly predatory company policy. I completely understand that if the phone were purchased at a discount or through a deal with MetroPCS they of course expect you to use their service so they can make a profit. However, how dare they force me to use their sub-par network (T-Mobile, I know) on a device I own free and clear. I have refused to reactivate it on MetroPCS or even T-Mobile because guess what? It will start the 180 day policy over again. I am seriously considering legal action because this seems to be an unfair punitive action for consumers. C. **

Here’s why I recommend avoiding Metro: The connectivity was good until, ironically (since the name is “Metro”), I tried to search for a phone number in a mid-size town. After multiple tries to get on the net I finally gave up. It was eternal buffering! Obviously, the T-mobile customers had priority on a totally jammed network. This wasn’t going to work.
Despite being told I had 7 days to try their service, they refused to give me a refund at the store and suggested I call the customer service number. The rep on the line told me flat out that a refund was not possible even though I was still within the 7 day trial period. The worst was yet to come! When I decided to just cut my losses and go with one of the major carriers I was told that Metro refused to port over my existing phone number - a number I had had for over 20 years.
Somehow Metro was unique among all the wireless companies in refusing to port the phone number I brought with me. This was a major bummer ... I had my long term number on many, many Rolodexes and cell phones and had to try to contact all of their owners with my new number. Which, not having any other choice, I did. Walking into that Metro store is a major regret, and I recommend you avoid following my example.

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.

Still didn't work. I told him restart the phone and BINGO it works. Moral of this story is they want to charge people for unneeded sim cards and activation so just call from another phone and they can switch your sim card to the new phone with IMEI at NO CHARGE.

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. But someone needs to check them on billing.

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.
