Ultra-Fast MetroPCS 4G LTE

The next generation of wireless technology, 4G (or "fourth generation") enables lightning-fast Internet browsing and multimedia applications, giving you instant access to the news, information and services you need to do more in your day from paying bills and booking appointments to shopping online or just watching your favorite shows. The MetroPCS 4G service is delivered by a global-standards-based network technology called LTE, or "Long-Term Evolution."

As MetroPCS builds out its 4G network, the initial build will be in core city areas within MetroPCS Home coverage for specific markets. Customers will not have 4G service in MetroPCS Extended Homes Areas. Web, email, and multimedia will still be available in some areas, but not the full 4G experience. Additionally, customers will not have 4G service when in TravelTalk areas, but they will still be able to make and receive phone calls (at 19-cents a minute) and send and receive text messages at no charge.

MetroPCS Plans

MetroPCS rate plans offer talk-all-you-want service, include taxes and regulatory fees, and have no annual contract. Also, it's very easy to change plans at any time. And you'll get coverage that spans the United States (see this MetroPCS coverage map)

MetroPCS offers seven rate plans with features that vary based on the level of service. Compare the available MetroPCS cell phone plans, and choose the one that's right for you.

Note: 4G coverage is LTE coverage only and not available in all markets. Some 4G services only available in MetroPCS 4G coverage areas.
