Where to pay your Metro by T-Mobile bill
You can pay your Metro by T-Mobile bill on metropcs.com by logging into your account, or you can pay without logging in if you know your phone number and PIN. The website accepts credit cards, debit cards, and bank account transfers. You can also pay by phone, in person at a Metro store, or through automatic payments set up in advance.
The fastest route is the website if you have your account details handy. If you do not remember your login information, Metro's website will let you reset your password or look up your account using your phone number and the last four digits of your Social Security number.

Paying through your Metro account online
Go to metropcs.com and select "Pay My Bill" at the top of the page. Enter your phone number and password to log in. If you do not have a password, click "Forgot Password" and follow the steps to reset it using your email address or phone number.
Once you are logged in, your current bill amount will appear on the screen. You can pay the full amount due, a partial payment, or an amount of your choice. Select your payment method — credit card, debit card, or bank account — and enter the details. Review the amount and confirm the payment. You will receive a confirmation number on screen and by email.
Paying without logging in
If you do not want to create an account or cannot remember your login, Metro offers a guest payment option. Go to metropcs.com, select "Pay My Bill," and choose "Pay as Guest." Enter your phone number and your four-digit PIN. Your PIN is the last four digits of your Social Security number unless you changed it in your account settings.
The rest of the process is the same: select your payment amount, choose your payment method, and confirm. You will still receive a confirmation number, though you may not see it in an account history later since you are not logged in.
Setting up automatic payments
Automatic payments mean your bill is paid on the same day each month without you having to log in or remember a due date. Log into your Metro account, go to "Billing," and select "AutoPay." Choose the day of the month you want the payment to come out — usually the same day your bill is due — and select your payment method.
Metro will charge your card or bank account automatically each month for your full bill amount. You can change or cancel AutoPay at any time by logging back into your account. If a payment fails because your card is expired or your bank account is closed, Metro will send you a notice and you will need to update your payment method or pay manually.
Payment methods Metro accepts
Metro accepts Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover credit and debit cards. You can also pay using a bank account transfer (ACH), which typically has no fee. Metro does not accept prepaid cards, gift cards, or cash payments online.
If you want to pay with cash, you can visit a Metro store in person or pay through a third-party payment processor like Western Union or MoneyGram, though these may charge a fee. Check the Metro website for a store locator to find the nearest location.
How long payment takes to post
Payments made online usually post to your account within one business day. If you pay on a weekend or holiday, the payment may not process until the next business day. If you pay very close to your due date — within a day or two — the payment might post after your due date has passed, which could result in a late fee.
To avoid late fees, pay at least three to five business days before your due date. If you are worried about making the deadline, set up AutoPay instead so the payment goes out automatically on a date you choose.
Paying by phone or in person
You can pay by phone by calling Metro customer service at 1-888-639-8762. Have your phone number, PIN, and payment method ready. A representative will walk you through the payment and give you a confirmation number. Phone payments are processed the same way as online payments and usually post within one business day.
To pay in person, visit a Metro store with your phone number and a valid payment method. Store staff can process your payment immediately. Find store locations and hours on the Metro website or by calling customer service.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is my PIN if I have never set one?
Your default PIN is the last four digits of your Social Security number. If you changed your PIN in your account settings and cannot remember it, you can reset it by logging into your Metro account, going to "Account Settings," and selecting "Change PIN." You will need to verify your identity with your phone number and Social Security number.
Can I pay someone else's Metro bill?
Yes. Use the guest payment option on metropcs.com and enter the phone number of the account you want to pay. You do not need the account holder's PIN to make a payment this way. Enter the amount you want to pay and your payment method, and the payment will be applied to that account.
What happens if my payment fails?
If your card is declined or your bank account transfer is rejected, Metro will send you a notification by text or email. You can try paying again with a different payment method, or contact Metro customer service at 1-888-639-8762 to troubleshoot the issue. If you have AutoPay set up and a payment fails, you will need to update your payment method or pay manually to avoid service interruption.
Can I get a refund if I overpay?
If you pay more than your bill amount, the extra money stays in your account as a credit toward your next bill. You can request a refund by contacting Metro customer service, though some credits may be held for a certain period before refund is processed. Check your account online to see your current balance and any credits.
