T-Mobile Is Rebranding MetroPCS, Offering New Unlimited Plans

September 25, 2018

MetroPCS is donning a new name.

T-Mobile said Monday it's rebranding MetroPCs  as Metro by T-Mobile and will launch a new campaign to highlight the prepaid brand next month with two new unlimited plans. The plans will have tiers that include Amazon Prime membership and Google One cloud storage.  

"It drives me crazy that literally millions of hard-working people are struggling to get by yet feel stuck with AT&T and Verizon because they think prepaid wireless is subpar," John Legere, CEO of T-Mobile, said in a statement. "That's outdated thinking! Metro by T-Mobile customers aren't making a compromise, they're refusing to make a compromise."  

MetroPCS and T-Mobile merged five years ago but continued to operate as separate brands.

MetroPCS offers prepaid service on the T-Mobile network, though customers may experience a slowdown (compared with postpaid T-Mobile customers) if they're in a busy area, according to the statement. Also, if Metro customers use more than 35GB of data per month, their mobile internet speed may be reduced until the next payment cycle starts.
