Metro by T-Mobile Switch Deals

Metro by T-Mobile is one of the best prepaid carriers for switch deals. Unlike postpaid carriers that spread device credits over 24-36 months, Metro typically offers instant discounts at the point of sale. That means you walk out of the store with a free or heavily discounted phone — no waiting for monthly bill credits and no long-term commitment required.

Metro runs on T-Mobile's nationwide 5G network, so you get the same coverage as T-Mobile postpaid customers at a lower monthly price. Plans start significantly cheaper than T-Mobile postpaid, and there's no credit check required. This makes Metro an excellent choice for budget-conscious switchers who still want reliable coverage and a new phone.

Since Metro is part of the T-Mobile family, you'll need a number from a different carrier family to qualify for switch deals. Numbers from Verizon, AT&T, or Cricket all work. If your current number is on T-Mobile or Boost, you can purchase a $14 port number from Verizon or AT&T to qualify for the Metro promotion without affecting your personal line.
