Metro by T-Mobile review

Plans start at $25. Metro by T-Mobile is listed as a budget model sold by a carrier rather than a marketplace, so pricing sits at the entry end of what the site tracks. Site-wide, the median starting price is €5.

Its plans come with unlimited data, listed as yes for the brand. The site tracks the same feature across 57.2% of the plans it lists, so unlimited data is a common pattern here rather than a rarity.

Coverage is 1, which places it at 257 of the 303 brands ranked on countries covered. The site median for that measure is 74 countries, so this plan sits well below the middle of the field.

It runs on the T Mobile network, is based in the United States and operates under the legal entity MetroPCS Communications, Inc.. The company was founded in 1994 and sells its own plans as a carrier rather than a marketplace listing.

It is a local plan, and the site groups 26.6% of its listings that way, against 67.8% for global options. The listing places it in the local region, so the plan is aimed at a single market rather than a multi-country itinerary.

It suits readers in US who want unlimited data on a low fixed plan and do not need multi-country coverage. Travellers heading abroad are better served by Zwitchy, with coverage of 200.

Yes. Unlimited data is part of the plan, and the entry price is $25. Budget is the model here, so the plan suits a long domestic stay on a fixed cost. For a trip spanning several countries, coverage of 1 is the deciding factor against wider options.

It is a carrier rather than an MVNO or a marketplace, and carriers account for 59.9% of site listings. Its model is budget, a category that makes up 74.7% of those listings.
