false advertising
Metro PCS is advertising on tv the family plan of 4 for $100.00 bucks a month. But when you call them they to try to ge tthe deal they tell you that plan was over in DEC. 2008. i went out and purchase 2 used phones to add on my line over the weekend and on monday when I tried to get it I got the bad news. Maybe if they didnt advertised it i wouldnt have spunt my money cause right now i am unemployee and need to save as much as I can im very pissed right now with the Merto PCS i want to cancell my other 2 lines i have with them.

took my money
went there on 1-27-09 to pay my monthly bill. I talked to the lady that was working there and asked her to pay my bill she said sure, I gave her what i owed for my metro pcs bill she then gave me my change. she then tells me that her computers are down and it will take her a half an hour to do it, i said o.k as long as you do it, she said dont worry it will be done. The next day woke up in the morning and tried to use my phone it rang but went to a machine that said "Sorry your phone has been supended due to non payment". I went back to her store and by luck she was there and talked to her and told her that my phone has been suspended and she said im sorry i told you my computer was down and i responce i said you told me you were going to do it. she goes o.k give me a half an hour and your phone will be on i said are sure she said i promise i said alright im giving you a half an hour and its not on im coming in an hour she said o.k so then i left and my phone was still not on after that half an hour so i went back to her store in 45 min. and she was gone i and closed up her store. i return the next and the next and no no one and i have spoken to other people when i have waited for her in front of her store and these people told me the same problem and there is about 6 others that i know of and other that have even worse stories. so im calling out for help, threw this delema and you can reach me at my email [email protected] if you can help me thank you

Text Messaging Issues
Cheap cost and cheap very poor service.. tell why it is than when I send a text message I have to resend it 18 times to get it to go through.. even though I have full reception with 5 bars? I am very close to being done with metro pcs for the aggravation they are causing me..

theft and fraud
I purchased a cell phone paid by debit for my granddaughter in May 17 2008. The plan I selected
made my payment 57.15 a m onth. Instead of paying by the month I decided to pay my granddaughter's bill for the year. My payment was recorded in increments of two
six months period totally $351.00 for teach six
months period. I paid Seven hundred and two dollars on 5-17-08. My first payment was due on 6-17-08 and ends 5-17-09. Everything was fine until
12-09 when the phone service was turned off.
We've made several attemps to rectify the situation. We've been insulted as to being told the service is off because you did not pay your bill.
Both the general manager Sam and manager
Lauren in the Arden store of Metro in Sacramento
California has stated they remember when we purchased the phone, but they state we need to show more proof and the proof we have is the metro
pcs contract. Someone has misappropriated my money. If you discontiune my service I want to be refunded my Three Hundred and Fifty One dollars.
You can contract me on [email protected]
I will be seeking legal services if this matter is not
resolved in a timely matter.

TRAVEL TALK
TRAVEL TALK IS SUPPOSED TO BE HELPFUL WHEN YOUR'E
"TRAVELING" BUT I HAVENT TRAVELED SINCE I'VE HAD THIS PHONE BUT ACCORDING TO MY STUPID CELL IM TRAVELING EVEN WHEN I'M AT HOME. I DO NOT HAVE A HOUSE LINE BECAUSE TIMES ARE TOUGH AND I THOUGT IT WOULD BE MUCH EASIER ON THE POCKETS I FIGURED ANYONE COULD REACH ME AT ANYTIME RIGHT? WRONG! APPARENTLY WHEN MY PHONE IS "ROAMING" I CAN NOT MAKE OR RECEIVE ANY CALLS ONLY TEXT WHICH ABSOLUTELY SUCKS BECAUSE MY PHONE CHOOSES TO GO INTO TRAVEL TALK MODE SEVERAL TIMES A DAY THE DUMPEST PART OF THE WHOLE SITUATION IS TURNING IT OFF ISNT ALWAYS SIMPLE AFTER GOING THROUGH THE STEPS, SETTINGS, NETWORK, THEN CHANGE OVER 20 TIMES MY SERVICE MAY OR MAY NOT RESUME. WOW!! WHAT A CONVENIENT LITTLE FEATURE YOU GUYS HAVE FOR US NON-TRAVELERS. THANX FOR NOTHING METRO.

Awful company
I bought a phone from Metro PCS for $105.99. The deal was 'no contract' and monthly. I had 60 minutes or 30 days whichever came first to return the phone for a full refund. I told them I was in Cape Coral. They said no problem.

I got back to the condo and found the only way the phone would work was standing in one of 2 windows in the living room. I tried most of the evening to get a Metro PCS support person on the phone and never did get anything other than a recording. So, I took the phone back to the Superstore I bought it at and talked to a fellow named Daniel.

His first conversation was that he would give me a different phone as the one I had bought was maybe not 'strong' enough. He went in the back somewhere and returned several minutes later with the same phone and said that he had put a booster (at no cost) on the antenae. I should try that and he was sure that it would work ... WELL ... it didn't! What few calls would come through (when the phone was laying close to the living room window) were from collection agencies trying to reach 1 of 3 previous owners of the wonderful phone number that I had been assigned.

To bring this already LONG story to a conclusion ... the only time I actually talked to a live service person on the phone was the night I finally got a voice mail through and found that the service had been discontinued because I had not paid the bill (which came by non-existent voice mail!!).

This company is a fraud and does absolutely nothing in my experience to warrant any support whatsoever!

If you buy a Metro PCS phone and it doesn't work the VERY FIRST TIME you use it ... take it back and tell the you want your money back IMMEDIATELY! I am sure that there are pockets that it works very well in, but they need to be honest and trustworthy and stand behind their product.

Poor Customer Service/failure to call back on service request logged
MetroPCS Wireless, Inc.
PO Box 601119
Dallas, TX 75360

Metro PCS sucks. I bought my phone a month ago. The texting has never worked. I contacted them and logged a service request, and never got a call back. I called them again today and they told me it would be fixed within 24 to 72 hours and that it was a known issue. I told them it obviously was a known issue a month ago, but they didn't do anything about it then, and never called me back.

I also was speaking with people in I believe Costa Rica, whose English wasn't that great. When I did reach someone from their customer service department whose first language was English, he was curt and disrespectful.
If the company I work for were to not respond to service requests, we would be out of business. When my company doesn’t respond accordingly or has an unhappy customer, the customer is provided with a credit. The very least Metro PCS could do is credit a month of service, all services, for the trouble I have had.

This is my first month with Metro PCS, and this has been a very very poor experience. In addition, Metro gives you no discounts on phones… so the usual Rant which you can receive from Sprint, AT&T and others for $50.00 (after rebates) will cost you $200.00. Do not go with Metro PCS, you will get better service from other carriers. The better service is worth the extra $10.00 a month you might pay with another company.

Shady business practices
I purchased a cell phone and month to month service from Metro PCS. Almost immediately I started receiving constant, harassing phone calls, and text messages at all hours of the day and night. I contacted Metro PCS. I agreed a solution to the problem would be to change the phone number (by the way, the customer service rep could not figure out a solution, and didn't even try to solve the problem.) WE agreed this would most likely solve the problem. Then I was told, I would be charged $5.00 to change th e number. (five dollars is not a lot of money, but it a customer-service principal.) I spoke politley to more than one supervisor and was told repeatedly that I had to pay the fee. THEY are the ones who assigned me this phone number with this horrific problem, NOT EVEN TWO WEEKS AGO!!! I will advise everyone who I know to NEVER GET a METRO PCS phone, their business policies and customer service are awful!!! Also, most the the reps I spoke to have such a heavy accent you can barely understand them.

Bait and Switch - Double Billing
If you switch to one plan experimentally (from a cheaper plan), make sure that you can switch back to the same plan. I just tried their internet service. TERRIBLE AND NON-EXISTENT. Ten minutes to load a web page.

When I switched back to my old plan, I discovered that text messaging was no longer included and that I would have to pay extra. In addition, they also just billed me for two months and would not accept a payment for one month.

Metro PCS is a very scammy company. Customer Service is non-existent and the corporate office's automated prompt system can hang you up in an endless loop. They have everything set up so that contact with corporate is extremely difficult. The only company I have seen which rivals Metro PCS for scamminess and dishonesty is T-Mobile.

ONE PIECE OF ADVICE: Do not give either Metro PCS or T-Mobile your credit card or debit card number. That is an invitation to get "looted." And guess who has to spend their time trying to resolve these problems: YOU.

I am actually quite surprised that Metro and T-Mobile get away with things to the extent that they have. Not only are they dishonest, but they also commit very obvious fraud (bank fraud included) over state lines. DO NOT GIVE THESE COMPANIES YOUR CC #.

NOT user friendly
Your website routes me to stores that are NOT near me at all. I called the numbers and have spoken to a total of 8 people, NONE of which could understand that I am in Irving/Las Colinas. EVERY one of your competitors is on MacArthur and you are not. I tried calling the customer service line and it kept routing me back to the auto attendant. The site is not updated because I called a supposed location for you, a Target, who had a phone. No metro pcs plan, just the phones. Very misleading. This does not warm me up to using this company at all. I mean if this much hassle just to get a plan, I could only imagine trying to get something resolved! It has been since Monday, 10 phone calls, 2 drive by's and 8 people and I have had no success finding a store to sign up on the metro pcs plan. How do these guys stay in business?
