Service got cut, even when I tried to pay the bill several times

0 supporters

My service got cut off. I have been into the store several times even before the place closed trying to get my issues straightened out one of the representative at one of the MetroPCS stores tried everything. She understood that my cards and everything got stolen so even my ID, I have no way of paying a bill with a debit card. I explained to them that my car‘s were cut off so they refused to even let me pay my bill even talking to the higher up manager so now tonight, I won’t have no phone service. This is just wrong, especially when I have money in the bank to pay the bill and have no other way to pay it my cards and everything was stolen so without or a debit card or whatever cause they’ve been canceled I have no control over the issue, but it’s the point that I’ve tried several ways to pay my phone bill, but they would never refused to hear what I’m talking about and told me I needed a debit card so now I can’t even get things taken care of because my phone will be cut off and had no way to even call my doctors or anything and then when I use my phone yesterday evening sitting in one spot I tried to get to a live person and all I kept getting worse. Pay your bill pay your bill and that is not professional. nobody tried to even look at my situation so I wouldn’t even dare even tell my friends to sign up for this place because they do people wrong here and then my calls were transferred overseas. These people act like they didn’t even wanna take care of my call or do anything so I don’t really trust this company when I get enough. I’m just gonna get rid of a MetroPCS cause this is too muchID

No one can activate phone

I ordered a phone, plan/sim card online 6/15 and received the phone 6/17 and after talking to probably 20 people and spending the majority of the past 4 days trying to activate this phone, it still isn't and I just keep being told to 'wait for the escalation dept to rectify it'. I discovered that metro had sent me a Tmobile sim card instead of a metro Sim card and requested they send me a new one, (a metro one) and was told they are unable to do so..

What?!!! Why?!! But I could go online and order one, again, what?!. So, I tried to do that, but the system wouldn't allow me to, as it thinks my phone is already activated.

I don't understand that at all, but it's been a week and I'm so frustrated. About to return it and demand a refund, but judging by how things have gone so far I'm afraid I would never see a refund.

I cannot make outgoing calls except for 911.

I went to the Metro store and they told me it was because my "LG ARISTO 3" wasn't something or other ... No help at all.

I qualified for Acp benefits and not receiving the $30/off

Ok I qualified for the ACP benefits and i called metro customer sevice and was told over the phone by metro employee that I would get the $30 off my bill, I also received text message also stating that. I very done called 3 times and spoke to someone that I het a $19 month discount not $30.

I had one of them tell me it was wrong it should be $30. Well since I called multiple times they give me the $30 off this month my first month not then every month after may it will he $19. I need to know why it's not $30 because I'm unemployed, single mom,child under 13 in home living off food stamps and government assistance paying bill. I need the full $30 please help 3 other people has tried.

I need to make sure its posted. Metro applied this. I never completed the enrollment form in my account.

My account IS locked tells me nothing matches. Thanks

I was tricked into buying a phone and I want info 4 why I was told I could not return it

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

So I went to metro PC to get a phone because my phone I had broke well I don't know much about phones nor do I understand why I was talked into buying a phone I have no idea how to even work. I am 69 years old and I feel that when I went into the Elsworth and main location in Az the lady that worked there took advantage of me.

I went into metro today so return the phone because it shuts off by itself all the time and also because I heard about this program that cricket is having that gives me alot more data etc and it's only 10 dollars a month cuz of the ebb program.

Anyway when I went down there the lady tells me ii can't return it even though I just bought it 3 days ago and I paid 4 the phonw. I looked up your return policy and it says I have 7 days 2 return well it's onoly been 3 days the phone cost me 184 dollars and I don't even know how 2 use the phone. I'm super pissed because I went into this location and the first thing I said to the lady is I am on a fixed income that I wanted the least expensive phone cuz I can't afford. A fancy 1 well she shows me the phone I bought she said it was the cheapest phone she had and that all 5he rest of your phones were in the price range of 400 to 1500 well I get home I tell my friend how much I had 2 pay to get a phone and she told me *** there are way cheaper phones and that that lady took advantage of me.

Today I go and try 2 get a refund and the lady that was there this time tells me she cannot give me a refund and that I am stuck with this phone.

Why on your website does it say if I bought in person I have 7 days if u bought online I have up 2 thirty days.

??? I have only had this phone 4 3 days

are you trying to port out of metro to a different carrier?if you are then all you need.to do is make sure you have your account number and IMEI number and your pin.and then what ever carrier you want to port into.give them your info.and they will take care of the rest what ever you do don't call metro and cancel your line until you port into another company that's what I was told when I went to go to another provider.

Nothing was done

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

In short metro sells phones that are refurbished and sell them as band new. Also they use chips to temporarily unlock them from another carrier until you update or reset your phone.

I tried to get my iPhone x unlocked from metro and was told it wasn't a metro phone but sprint. I spent $450 for a paper weight and metro will do nothing about it.

Why is it after paying my bill in full for phone numbers listed below one of the phones has no network?

Phone number (720)672-**** has no network all of a sudden all day yesterday October 5, 2021 my phone has just stopped working it says, "no registered network" on my samsung galaxy. I've tried everything to fix it but can't get it to work. I just paid my bill of $91,00 early, and I'm not getting a connection and can't make outgoing calls either
