Metro by T-Mobile (formerly MetroPCS) offers prepaid, no-contract plans, including two unlimited options.

Metro by T-Mobile cell phone plans

Metro by T-Mobile keeps its plans simple with only three options, two of them offering unlimited data. All plans have access to T-Mobile's 5G network.

  • 10GB: $40

  • Unlimited: $50 (includes 5GB mobile hotspot data, 100GB Google One membership)

  • Unlimited: $60 (includes 15GB mobile hotspot data, 100GB Google One and Amazon Prime memberships)

The 10GB plan includes unlimited music streaming from select services, but does not include mobile hotspot access. The two unlimited plans offer Google One storage and automatic backup on a capable Android device. Amazon Prime membership included in the $60 unlimited plan is for new Prime subscribers.

Family plan: Metro customers can have up to five lines on one account, with a $10, $20 or $30+ discount for each additional line, depending on the plan.
