Metro by T-Mobile Plans

Metro by T-Mobile is T-Mobile's no-contract prepaid brand — same 5G network, no credit check required, plans starting at $25 a month. Four plan options, 25 phones in the catalog from $59.99. For anyone who wants T-Mobile coverage without a T-Mobile postpaid contract, Metro is exactly that offer, priced and packaged separately.

Metro by T-Mobile is T-Mobile's prepaid arm — same towers, no credit check, no contract, and pricing that starts at $25 a month for unlimited data on a plan that actually includes unlimited data. That's a real proposition. The 25 phones in Metro's catalog run from basic Android handsets at $59.99 up through mid-range devices, which means the carrier suits anyone who wants a working smartphone and a manageable monthly bill more than a brand name on the side of their phone. Four plans keep the choice unusually simple, and all four sit on T-Mobile's nationwide 5G network. Hotspot is included on higher tiers; international calling shows up on the pricier options. Metro doesn't try to be T-Mobile — it tries to be the version of T-Mobile that doesn't ask for a credit history on the way in. Customer service lives in physical retail stores, which is either a comfort or an inconvenience depending on the situation. For anyone who wants a no-contract plan without landing at a gas station brand, Metro is where T-Mobile parks that business.
