Check out the new rate plans:
-
Unveiling four new Metro plans: Metro Starter, Metro Starter Plus, Metro Flex Unlimited and Metro Flex Unlimited Plus — all packed with value and benefits that won't break the bank.
- Metro Starter keeps it simple and affordable. A family of four can sign up for just $25/per line per month with AutoPay (it's $105 total the first month), no need to bring a number. Each person can get a 5G phone; that's up to $350 in savings for a family of four.
- Metro Starter Plus revives the fan-favorite $40 PERIOD plan. Bring your existing number, get a new phone and unlimited talk, text and 5G data — all for just 40 bucks flat. New customers can get two lines with unlimited 5G and two Samsung Galaxy A15 5G phones on Us for $65 per month — the lowest price in prepaid.
- Metro Flex Unlimited is big on perks and small on price. For a family of four it's just $30 per line with AutoPay (it's $125 total the first month) with unlimited talk, text and 5G data. Customers can get hooked up with a new phone on day one — and Flex plans include annual device upgrades with the same deals new customers get when they trade-in their phone after 12 months.
- Metro Flex Unlimited Plus delivers great benefits at a lower cost. Over $250 in added value — and $10/month less than Metro Flex Plus. Customers enjoy Amazon Prime at no extra cost. And, customers can bring a smartwatch or tablet to Metro and connect them for just $5/month each. Plus, they also get HD video streaming… on top of all the benefits included in Metro Flex Unlimited.
- Introducing a 5-year price guarantee: Join any new plan from Metro and the price of talk, text and data is guaranteed for the next five years. And Metro's current customers aren't left out of the mix – those currently on Metro Flex plans and Metro's BYOD plan will also get a 5-year price guarantee on talk, text and data. Take that, inflation!
- Launching a limited time offer: New and existing customers can add a 2GB line to any plan for just $15 and it's only $5/month starting in month two.
Real talk: Life's expensive these days, with 63% of households experiencing financial hardship from recent price increases. With the cost of living rising dramatically, Metro is flipping the script to bring prices down, helping families of four put thousands of dollars back in their pockets with deals on new plans and free devices.
"We get it. Budgets are really tight right now. That's why we're giving customers next-level connectivity and brag-worthy benefits that real people love, at prices real people can afford," said Jon Freier, President, T-Mobile Consumer Group. "For Metro, delivering real, lasting savings for people matters — so we're guaranteeing prices on talk, text and data for five years. No gotchas, just gotcha covered."
Metro Starter: Delivers Big on the Basics
Metro Starter is the ideal entry level plan for customers looking for a free phone when they join but don't want to bring their number. On top of the great perks including T-Mobile Tuesdays and Scam Shield, customers get unlimited talk, text and 10GB of high-speed data. Sign up a family of four for just $25/person per month with AutoPay (it's $105 total for the first month).
Metro Brings Back Retro Savings: Metro Starter Plus at Just $40 PERIOD
Metro is bringing back its classic $40 PERIOD deal with Metro Starter Plus. New customers who bring their number to Metro can get a free 5G phone and a plan for just $40 a month — no AutoPay required and no added taxes or fees. Originally launched in 2013, Metro is relaunching this deal, now with a 5-year price guarantee on talk, text and 5G data, to keep prices low and give customers the value they deserve.
Getting a new phone and plan for just $40 a month feels like a steal — and the value only grows. Customers get unlimited talk, text and 5G data, plus T-Mobile Tuesdays, a season-long subscription to MLB.TV and MLS Season Pass on Apple TV on Us along with Scam Shield protection. Bring the whole crew to Metro and the deal gets even sweeter: just $25 a line when signing up with four friends or family members.
Metro Flex Unlimited: The Plan That Gets Better with Every Line
Metro Flex Unlimited keeps everything people love about Metro Flex Up while dropping the price of lines two, three and four. A family of four can join Metro Flex Unlimited for just $30/person per month with AutoPay (it's $125 total the first month), that's $35 less per month compared to Metro Flex Start. Packed with value and perks, customers get unlimited talk, text and data, plus 8GB of hotspot data along with T-Mobile Tuesdays, Scam Shield and 100GB of free storage with Google One. Just like every Metro Flex plan, customers get a free phone when they join, and upgrades included, meaning they can get the same great deals as new customers after a year of service when trading in their phone.
Metro Flex Unlimited Plus: Unmatched Value and Savings for Families
Metro Flex Unlimited Plus takes everything customers love about Metro Flex Plus and supersizes it, while lowering the price by $10 a month for the first line. Savings add up quickly as more family members join. Families of four save $420 annually on their phone lines alone compared to Metro Flex Plus.
On Metro Flex Unlimited Plus, the best benefits in prepaid got even better. Customers can get over $750 in value their first year alone with a free 5G phone and all the benefits in their plan. New benefits include:
- More connections: Now it costs only $5 per line for customers to connect a smartwatch or tablet they bring to Metro to an existing line.
- HD streaming: Customers get HD video so they can watch the latest hits on their device.
- Amazon Prime membership included (valued at $14.99/month) for fast, free delivery, nonstop streaming and exclusive member savings.
These new benefits add to existing perks including 25GB of hotspot data on our network along with unlimited free texting from the U.S. to 210+ countries and destinations. Plus, all the benefits included in Metro Flex Unlimited.
Peace of Mind with a 5-Year Price Guarantee
Every new Metro plan guarantees the price of talk, text and data for five years — no surprises, just savings. No matter which plan customers choose, they can rest assured that their price stays the same for 5 years from the time they sign up. And, starting on April 24, existing customers on Metro Flex plan and Metro's BYOD plan will also get the same 5-year price guarantee on their talk, text and data. Bottom line... Metro is a long-term commitment worth saying yes to.
These new rate plans come on the heels of Metro launching Ad It Up, giving customers yet another way to save. Ad It Up, built on the Play2Pay mobile app discovery and engagement platform, gamifies the process of earning credits toward service. In the months since the launch, the average Metro customer has reduced their next month of service's cost by over $15 with Ad It Up — by playing games, taking surveys or downloading apps. The Ad It Up app is now available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, offering a fun and easy way to save on wireless.
Metro's Not Done Yet: Another Reason to Jump In (or Stick Around)
To celebrate the new plans, Metro is treating customers to another way to score extra value with a limited-time offer available from April 24 through May 14:
- More lines, more love: Customers can add a 2GB line to any plan for just $15 the first month and it's only $5/month after that. It's a quick way to bring someone else into the mix while still being easy on the wallet.
