MetroPCS Review Summary

Cell phone service can be expensive, but the MetroPCS Phone Plan offers an alternative to the big name cellular plans that can save customers money. Reviewers like the lower price that MetroPCS Phone Plan charges for its servcies and they also like the local service and the ability to talk all day long for one set price without worrying about minutes of usage. MetroPCS Phone Plan receives generally positive comments such as “Best Service Provider Overall” and “Decent Service for a Low Price”. But others are not so impressed, like one reviewer who says, “Cheap Monthly Bill, but Also Cheap on Service”. Reviewers point out a few disadvantgaes with this cellular service, like the limited range of this phone plan and the fact that MetroPCS Phone Plan will shut your phone off immediately if the payment isn’t made on time. So, when all things are considered, the MetroPCS Phone Plan ranks as an average Communication service that will suit the needs of some but not all.

THis is my second time with MetroPCS. THe only reason I left them the first time was because I moved to an area they didn't cover. Now that they're here, I'm back with them.

There's a lot less hassle than with the conventional carriers. I was able to get a great Qwerty phone for a good price, and I pay...

Metro PCS has given my daughter and I a chance to have a cell phone at a reasonable price. Since we are on a budget, Metro PCS is perfect for us. The bill is the same every month so we know eactly how much it will be. I do not have to worry about my teenage daughter going over her minutes or texting.... review »

They lure you in with a cheap rate. Then your bill creeps upwards. Why? Who knows? You can't see your bill, without paying extra. I paid the extra. They never delivered on my e-bill. So I've still never seen it. Oh, it was supposed to cost $1 to see the bill. They charged $3, then had the nerve to act surprised when I asked why. Then they hung up. There is absolutely no customer service. They only have "activation" representatives. If you can get through to their phone number, which is always "busy." Don't hold your breath, it usually takes me 20 or 30 tries to get through. Then they'll frequently...

Metro PCS is a great cell phone provider. I've had them for over 2 years now and I wouldn't go anywhere else. One flat fee and I can talk unlimited at all times of the day. I'm a huge cell phone user, as I'm a business owner and I just like to talk!  :) The only downside is the occasional call drops in different areas. For the price, I can deal with that. I just make sure I'm not making/receiving any important calls when I'm in these areas.

I would recommend Metro PCS to everyone!

Metro PCS is for the DFW area in Texas. For people who do not go out of the area very often, this is a great carrier. The only thing that is not so good about it is that you dont get signal or you can drop a call more frequent than the other  carriers. You pay for the phone and the usage. If you go with the best quality plan you get everything. But you do have to use their phones. Your payment is due on the same day every month. No contract, no credit check, no early diconnection fee.

I really enjoy metro pcs.  It is affordable, and if you dont pay the bill they just shut off the phone they dont charge late fees or anything like that.  They also dont charge for terminating service, like some providers do.  The service is pretty good for the amount that is paid.

I love metro because it is a one flate fee depending on what service you sign up for. the prices are great and the sign up contract there is none which is even better because if you dont pay your bill or for get the pay it ontime it does not go against your credit report they just turn if off until you pay the bill.

              Metropcs is a mixed bag.

First the good: unlimited calling/texting to anyone in your vicinity! Set prices, so no surprises-well almost ( more on this later). No re-connection fees, and that's good to know because we will all go through that, we are after all on tight budgets.And 3G coverage and all the bells and whistles for $50, wow!

Now for the bad: Unlimited talk/text is great except for when you have no signal/ have dropped calls and/or can't deliver or receive your text until hours later which is half the time,errr!

Next we have the set bills which shouldn't change....

The service is great.  I pay a higher bill to them monthly than any other of their customers in the "West-O-Plex".  The morning their ad hit about Blackberry Service I drove with lights & siren to the Metro store.  (hear tires screeching)  I was informed there that only new customers could have this service and I would have to go to BestBuy to get them! 

My jr lawyer woke up and discussed false advertising.  In the end, I had to drive to Plano (132 mile Roundtrip) to another Metro company store.  The manager at my store had called and told them to sell me the phone.

I have been a Metro Pcs customer for almost 7 years. I chose to make the switch when my Cingular bill regularly ended up being over $350. Metro Pcs was not stellar in the beginning, but has continuously improved their services. My main complaint in the past year would only be that they did not keep up with their growth spurt. Customer service was at an all time low and waiting to get helped over the phone would take at least 45 min. This has in the past few months greatly improved. Also very thankful as Metro Pcs doesn't seem to outsource its customer service to India as so many others.

The do need to step up their customer service. But, I figure they are doing that slower than normal. However, I do expect them to remain a tough competitor to the other big guys. Sprint, Tmobile, Nextel......remember when they all started out?

Metro offers a service plan that CANNOT be beaten. For 45.00 a MONTH for unlimited talk incoming or outgoing.....unlimited texting!!! and surfing the web!!! its SUCHA DEAL!

Forget free, after 7 or even 9.......why not all day?

Pay for the phone and get 1 month free with the second and no activation charges? So basically, its the phone and 1 months of...

The service has been excellent with very few dropped calls and have found no "dead" areas.  Convenient payment options and with authorized stores everywhere it is easy to change or add equipment.  With the addition of being able to roam, it has made the perfect program for me.  Additionally , with no deposit and no contract it is the most flexible program available.  It was the no contract that originally attracted me because you know they must serve you well or you can leave.

 I love metroPCS. Though the service is a little low is some areas, it is heard that metro is adding more servece towers up. I can pay my bills add or take away features if need be, and they text you the amount of money you owe a while before it is due. This is so you know what you owe, and gives you time to come up with the money. Their phones are like normal phones, actually from real companies like samsung and such. I give credit to the founder of this company it is great!

Metro PCS is almost the perfect provider. It has been my provider for 3 years. With a fixed rate, national long distance included, you can talk as much as you want to. The service would be perfect if their satellite signal were stronger. It could be that while you are talking the call drops. But it happens only in certain areas. It's a fact that Metro is improving its service each day. Unlimited minutes, same rate! Doen't it sound incredible???
