How to Pay Your Metro by T-Mobile Bill

Paying by mail

Write a check or money order for the amount you owe and include it with your bill statement. The payment address is printed on your bill. Do not send cash through the mail.

Mail payments take 7 to 10 business days to reach Metro and post to your account. If your due date is within the next week, paying by mail may result in a late payment. Use this method only if you have time before your due date or if you are paying early.

Log into your account on the website or app, go to your account settings, and look for the "Auto Pay" or "Automatic Payment" option.

Once automatic payments are set up, Metro will charge your chosen payment method on your due date each month. You can change or cancel automatic payments at any time through your account settings. If you cancel, you will need to pay future bills manually.

What to do if you cannot pay your full bill

If you cannot pay your full bill by the due date, contact Metro customer service at 1-888-863-8768 to discuss your options.
