Metro by T-Mobile at a glance
Metro now names its plans by price. The $25 and $30 unlimited plans are online offers for people who bring their own phone, with 35 GB of high-speed data; the $30 plan adds a 10 GB hotspot. The $40 Period plan needs no autopay, and the $50 plan raises high-speed data to 50 GB.
Prices include taxes and fees and, except the $40 Period plan, assume autopay. Metro's big draw is phones: new customers often get a free or very cheap phone when they switch.
