Metro by T-Mobile online bill payment works through your account portal or the Metro app
You can pay your Metro by T-Mobile bill online in two ways: through the Metro website at metro.t-mobile.com or through the Metro by T-Mobile mobile app. Both routes let you pay immediately using a debit card, credit card, or bank account. You do not need to call customer service or visit a store to make a payment.
The website and app show your current balance, due date, and payment history in one place. If you set up autopay, your bill will be charged automatically on your due date each month, and you can change or cancel it anytime. Payments typically process within one business day.

How to pay a one-time bill on the Metro website
Go to metro.t-mobile.com and click "Sign In" at the top right. Enter your phone number and password. If you do not have an online account yet, click "Create Account" and follow the prompts to set one up using your phone number and email address.
Once logged in, look for "Billing" or "Pay My Bill" in the main menu. Click it to see your current balance and due date. Select "Make a Payment" and enter the amount you want to pay. Choose your payment method: debit card, credit card, or bank account. Enter the card or account details, review the payment summary, and click "Confirm Payment." You will see a confirmation number on screen and receive an email receipt.
If you want to pay a past-due balance or a bill that is not yet due, the process is the same. The website will show you what you owe and let you pay any amount, at any time.
How to pay through the Metro by T-Mobile mobile app
Download the Metro by T-Mobile app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Open the app and sign in with your phone number and password. If you do not have an account set up in the app yet, tap "Create Account" and enter your phone number and email.
Once logged in, tap the "Billing" or "Account" tab at the bottom of the screen. You will see your current balance and due date. Tap "Pay Now" or "Make a Payment." Enter the amount, select your payment method (debit card, credit card, or bank account), and confirm. You will get a confirmation number and an email receipt right away.
The app is useful if you want to check your balance or make a quick payment while you are away from a computer. You can also view your payment history and upcoming due dates in the app.
Setting up autopay to avoid missed payments
Autopay charges your payment method automatically on your due date each month. To set it up, log into your Metro account on the website or app and go to "Billing" or "Account Settings." Look for "Autopay" or "Auto Pay" and click "Set Up" or "Enable."
Choose which payment method you want to use: debit card, credit card, or bank account. Review the details and confirm. Your first autopay charge will happen on your next due date. You will receive an email confirmation and a receipt after each payment.
You can turn off autopay anytime by going back to the same settings and clicking "Disable" or "Turn Off Autopay." If you disable it, you will need to make manual payments again. Autopay does not lock you in — you control it completely.
What payment methods Metro accepts online
Metro accepts Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover credit and debit cards. You can also pay with a bank account using your routing number and account number. Some accounts may also accept payment through a digital wallet like Apple Pay or Google Pay, depending on your device and browser.
Metro does not accept checks, money orders, or cash through the online portal. If you need to pay by check or money order, you can mail a payment to the address on your bill, though this takes longer to process. Prepaid cards and gift cards may work if they are branded with Visa, Mastercard, American Express, or Discover, but contact Metro customer service to confirm before trying.
Troubleshooting login and payment problems
If you forget your password, go to metro.t-mobile.com and click "Sign In." On the login page, click "Forgot Password?" Enter your phone number and follow the steps to reset it. Metro will send a reset link to the email address on file. Check your spam folder if you do not see the email within a few minutes.
If your payment is declined, check that your card or account information is correct and that your card has not expired. Make sure you have enough funds available. If the problem continues, try a different payment method. If all your payment methods are being declined, contact Metro customer service at 1-888-8-METRO-1 to troubleshoot.
If you cannot log into your account at all, or if you see an error message when trying to pay, try clearing your browser's cache and cookies, then log in again. If you are using the app, try uninstalling it and downloading it again. If the problem persists, call Metro customer service — they can help you reset your account or process a payment over the phone.
How long payments take to show up on your account
One-time online payments typically process within one business day. This means a payment made on a Monday will usually show on your account by Tuesday. Payments made on weekends or holidays may take until the next business day.
Autopay payments also process within one business day of your due date. If your due date falls on a weekend or holiday, the charge will happen on the next business day. You will see the payment reflected in your account balance and receive an email receipt after it processes.
If a payment does not show up after one business day, log into your account and check your payment history. You should see a confirmation number and the date it was processed. If you still do not see it, contact Metro customer service with your confirmation number.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I pay my Metro bill before my due date?
Yes. You can pay your bill anytime through the website or app, whether it is due today or weeks away. Paying early does not affect your account or your next billing cycle — you will still get a new bill on your regular due date.
What happens if I pay late?
If you pay after your due date, Metro may charge a late fee depending on your plan and account history. Your service may also be suspended if the bill goes unpaid for a certain period. Check your bill or contact Metro customer service to find out your account's late fee policy.
Can I set up autopay with a different payment method each month?
No. Autopay uses one payment method that you choose when you set it up. If you want to change which card or account is charged, you need to turn off autopay, then set it up again with the new payment method. You can do this anytime through your account settings.
Is it safe to pay my Metro bill online?
Metro uses encryption and security measures to protect your payment information. Your card or account details are not stored in plain text on the site. If you are concerned about security, you can also pay by phone by calling Metro customer service, though online payment is generally considered safe.
What if I do not have a credit or debit card?
You can pay with a bank account using your routing number and account number. If you do not have a bank account, you can pay by phone by calling Metro customer service at 1-888-8-METRO-1, or mail a check or money order to the address on your bill.
