Making sure you get your money's worth is not just good practice but an adventure in frugality. It's fun getting what you need for a good price and having good quality is the icing on the cake. Metro is clearly on top of things when it comes to prepaid services, and it's recognized by customers and J.D. Power for providing the highest satisfaction among no-contract carriers.

Technology has come a long way since landline telephones but one thing that hasn't changed is the need for consumers to get more for their money. You don't have just contract cellphone companies, you also have prepaid ones that provide a similar value at a fraction of the price. One question is, "Are these companies really any good?" One company, Metro by T-Mobile, offers both value and convenience. Metro by T-Mobile was once called MetroPCS but underwent a rebranding in 2018 to include the T-Mobile name. This guide will review if Metro by T-Mobile is all that it's cracked up to be.

Good Deals and Awards

When you visit the company's website, you'll notice that Metro offers incentives for new customers who make the switch. As of this guide, you can get a free Samsung Galaxy A32 or Moto G Stylus if you switch in-store. Please note that there are terms and conditions, but there are very few other companies that give free smartphones to new customers.

It also offers device trade-in that could go toward a new phone or another device, or you could bring your own phone to take advantage of the plans offered by Metro by T-Mobile. There are plans to fit every need for devices like tablets, unlimited plans, handset protection and international calling and texting. For people who like unlimited plans, Metro's $60 unlimited plan does not disappoint. It comes with 15 GB hotspot, 100 GB of membership to Google One and membership to Amazon Prime.

In 2018 and 2019, J.D. Power ranked Metro the highest for consumer satisfaction among non-contract full-service carriers while Metro's parent company T-Mobile ranked highest among wireless full-service carriers.

More Accessories

If you were to look at the accessories offered by other cell providers, you may not see very much selection. However, Metro by T-Mobile offers 29 Bluetooth devices, 38 grips and mounts, and 20 headsets just to name a few categories of accessories. You will also find screen protectors, speakers, cases, and chargers. Chances are that if you need something for your phone, Metro will have it, making it a one-stop-shop for all your wireless needs. For any questions or you'd like more information, please call Metro by T-Mobile's customer service agents.
