Where to pay your Metro by T-Mobile bill
You can pay your Metro by T-Mobile bill through the official Metro website, the Metro mobile app, by phone, or in person at a Metro store. Each method takes a few minutes and processes immediately or within one business day.
The easiest route for most people is the Metro app or website — both let you pay with a debit card, credit card, or bank account. If you prefer not to use digital payment, you can call Metro customer service at 1-888-863-8768 and pay over the phone with a card, or visit a physical Metro store location to pay in cash.
Some third-party payment platforms like PayPal and Google Pay also accept Metro bill payments, though you will still be redirected to Metro's system to complete the transaction. Paying through your bank's bill pay feature is another option if your bank supports it.

Paying online through the Metro website or app
Log into your Metro account on the website (metro.t-mobile.com) or open the Metro app on your phone. Tap or click "Pay Bill" and enter the amount you want to pay — you can pay your full balance, a partial amount, or set up a recurring payment.
Select your payment method: debit card, credit card, or bank account. If you are paying with a bank account for the first time, Metro will ask for your routing number and account number. Enter your billing address to match your payment method, then review the details and confirm.
The payment posts to your account immediately online, though it may take up to one business day to appear on your bill. You will receive a confirmation number and email receipt. Keep this for your records in case you need to dispute the payment later.
Automatic payments and due date changes
Setting up automatic payments through the Metro app or website prevents accidental late fees and keeps your service from being suspended. Go to "Account Settings" or "Billing," then select "Auto Pay" and choose whether you want to pay your full bill or a set amount each month.
You can change your due date once per billing cycle through the app or website. This is useful if your paycheck arrives on a different day or if you want to align multiple bills. The new due date takes effect on your next billing cycle.
If you set up automatic payments and want to cancel them, you can turn off Auto Pay in your account settings at any time. The cancellation takes effect immediately, but any payment already scheduled will still process.
Paying by phone or in person
To pay by phone, call Metro customer service at 1-888-863-8768. Have your phone number and payment method ready. A representative will ask for your card details or bank account information and process the payment while you are on the call. The payment posts immediately.
If you prefer to pay in cash, visit a Metro store location. You can find the nearest store by entering your zip code on the Metro website or using the store locator in the app. Bring your phone number or account number so the representative can look up your bill. Cash payments are processed on the spot.
Some Metro retailers and authorized dealers also accept bill payments, though not all locations offer this service. Call ahead to confirm before you visit.
What happens if you miss a payment
If your bill is not paid by the due date, Metro will charge a late fee (the amount varies by plan) and may suspend your service within a few days. You will receive a notice before suspension occurs, usually by text or email.
If your service is suspended, you can restore it by paying your full past-due balance plus any late fees. Payment by phone or in-store is fastest if you need service restored the same day. Once payment is received, service typically restores within a few hours.
If you are having trouble paying your bill, contact Metro customer service to discuss your options. Some situations may may have access to for a brief extension, though this is not may provide.
Understanding your bill amount and due date
Your Metro bill is due on the same date each month, which you can see on your bill or in the app under "Account" or "Billing." The bill covers your service for the previous month plus any overage charges, taxes, and fees.
If you use more data, minutes, or texts than your plan includes, Metro will charge overage fees. These appear on your next bill. You can avoid overages by upgrading to a plan with more data or by turning on Wi-Fi calling and messaging when possible.
Taxes and regulatory fees are added to your base plan cost and vary by location. These are not optional charges and will appear on every bill.
Payment methods and security
Metro accepts Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover cards, as well as debit cards and bank accounts. If you pay with a bank account, Metro will verify the account with two small deposits before processing full payments.
All payments on the Metro website and app are encrypted and secure. Never share your full card number or bank account details by email or text — Metro will never ask for this information outside of their official app or website.
If you see a payment on your account that you did not make, contact Metro customer service immediately. Disputed payments can usually be reversed within one to two billing cycles.
