Where and how to pay your Metro by T-Mobile bill
You can pay your Metro by T-Mobile bill online through your account, by phone, by mail, or in person at a Metro store. The fastest route is usually the online portal or the Metro app — both let you pay immediately without waiting for a representative. If you prefer to speak with someone, calling customer service or visiting a store works too, though you may wait longer.
Metro by T-Mobile accepts payment by debit card, credit card, bank account transfer, and money order. The method you choose affects how quickly the payment posts and whether you pay a fee. Online and app payments typically post within one business day at no extra charge.

Paying online or through the Metro app
Log into your Metro by T-Mobile account at the Metro website or open the Metro app on your phone. Look for the "Pay Bill" or "Make a Payment" button — it is usually on the main dashboard after you sign in. Enter the amount you want to pay, select your payment method (debit card, credit card, or bank account), and confirm the transaction.
Online and app payments post to your account within one business day. You will receive a confirmation number immediately after you pay, and you can check your account to see the payment status. There is no fee for paying this way with a debit card or bank account; credit card payments may carry a small fee depending on your card issuer, not Metro.
Paying by phone
Call Metro customer service at 1-888-8-METRO-8 (1-888-863-8768) to pay over the phone. A representative will ask for your account number (found on your bill), the amount you want to pay, and your payment method. Have your debit card, credit card, or bank account information ready.
Phone payments typically post within one to two business days. You will receive a confirmation number during the call. Keep this number for your records in case you need to verify the payment later.
Paying in person at a Metro store
Visit any Metro by T-Mobile store location to pay your bill in person. Bring your account number or phone number so the staff can look up your account. You can pay with cash, debit card, or credit card. In-person payments usually post within one business day.
Store hours vary by location, so check the Metro website to find the nearest store and confirm when it is open. Paying in person is useful if you prefer to handle payment face-to-face or if you want to ask questions about your bill at the same time.
Paying by mail
Write a check or money order for the amount due and mail it to the address printed on your bill. Include your account number on the check or money order so Metro can match the payment to your account. Mail payments take longer to post — typically five to seven business days after Metro receives the envelope, plus the time for mail delivery.
Paying by mail is slower than other methods, so use it only if you do not have access to online payment, a phone, or a store. Keep a copy of the check or money order number for your records.
Setting up automatic payments
Log into your Metro account online or in the app and look for "Auto Pay" or "Automatic Payment" settings. Select the date you want your bill paid each month, choose your payment method, and confirm. Metro will charge your account automatically on that date each month, and you will not have to remember to pay.
You can change or cancel automatic payments anytime through your account settings. If you set up auto pay with a bank account, Metro may offer a small discount on your monthly bill — check your account to see if this applies to you.
What to do if your payment does not post
If you paid online or through the app and do not see the payment in your account within two business days, log back into your account and check the payment history. Look for a confirmation number from when you made the payment. If the payment shows as pending, wait another business day.
If the payment does not appear after two business days, or if you see an error message, call Metro customer service at 1-888-8-METRO-8 (1-888-863-8768) with your confirmation number. A representative can look up the payment and tell you whether it went through or if there was a problem. Keep your confirmation number and the date you paid so you can reference them during the call.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I pay my Metro bill with a prepaid card?
Yes, you can use a prepaid card online, through the app, or over the phone as long as it has a Visa, Mastercard, American Express, or Discover logo. The card must have enough balance to cover the payment amount.
Is there a fee to pay my bill online?
No fee for paying online or through the app with a debit card or bank account. Credit card payments may have a small fee from your card issuer, not from Metro. Phone and in-person payments also have no fee.
What happens if I pay late?
Metro may charge a late fee if your payment arrives after the due date shown on your bill. Your service may also be suspended if the bill remains unpaid. Check your bill for the exact due date and late fee amount.
Can I pay someone else's Metro bill?
You can pay online or by phone if you have the account number, but the account holder may need to authorize third-party payments first. Call Metro customer service to ask whether the account allows this, or have the account owner set it up in their account settings.
How do I know if my automatic payment went through?
Log into your Metro account and check your payment history or recent transactions. You will see the date the payment was charged and the amount. You can also set up account notifications to alert you when auto pay processes each month.
