Things To Know About MetroPCS Before You Subscribe

MetroPCS originally launched in 1994 as General Wireless INC, which was a company whose purpose was to bid on, and acquire and operate broadband PCS licenses ((source)).

General Wireless INC changed its name to MetroPCS INC in 1999 ((Bloomberg)) and the company provided cellular service as a CDMA network.

In 2007 MetroPCS became a publicly traded company when it launched its IPO. ((Reuters)) In 2010 MetroPCS made history by becoming the first carrier in the USA to offer service on an LTE network with an LTE handset ((Gigaom)).

Shortly thereafter, in 2012, the company reached a deal with T-Mobile to merge to help T-Mobile better compete with other national providers. In 2015 MetroPCS’s legacy CDMA network was fully shutdown and replaced by T-Mobile’s LTE network. Today MetroPCS operates as a no contract prepaid provider that is still owned by T-Mobile.

In October of 2018 MetroPCS was rebranded to Metro By T-Mobile. Also in October, the company became the first prepaid brand to commit to launching 5G wireless service. Network speeds are equivalent to T-Mobile’s.

Supported Phones And BYOD Devices

The company sells and supports a variety of phones from high end iPhone’s and Samsung Galaxy devices to budget offerings from many of the top brands. Customers can bring their own phones to the network as long as they are compatible with T-Mobile and are out of contract, paid off in full and not reported lost or stolen. A majority of phones that work with AT&T will also work as long as the phone has been unlocked. Universally unlocked phones from manufacturer’s such as Motorola and Samsung are also compatible.

Where To Buy Service Plans And SIM Cards

Metro By T-Mobile cell phone plans and SIM cards can be purchased online directly through Metro By T-Mobile, from independent dealers and are available from various brick and mortar retail stores.
