PSA: Metro by T-Mobile charges $15 every time you swap phones you own
- Metro by T-Mobile charges customers $15 every time they swap their SIM card from one phone to another.
- If you like to use different phones for different reasons, this could rack up a lot of cash very quickly.
- We reached out to Metro by T-Mobile to get a statement on the matter.
If you own multiple smartphones and like to use them for different reasons, you likely swap your SIM card from one to the other quite often. Well, if that’s the case, you might want to avoid signing up with Metro by T-Mobile, as you’ll be charged $15 every time you swap (via Android Police).
As far as we know, this $15 fee is something no other carrier has in place, not even T-Mobile, which is the obvious parent company of Metro.
To be clear, this is not the same as the usual “Activation Fee” carriers love to throw at you when you buy a new device or upgrade a line. This fee is simply for swapping your card from one phone to another, even phones you already own.
If you like to swap phones a lot, you could rack up hundreds of dollars in fees before the end of the month without even knowing you’re being charged.
According to Android Police, this policy has been in effect since MetroPCS became Metro by T-Mobile, but it was relatively easy to call customer support and get the charge(s) removed. Now, however, Android Police reports that customers can no longer request removal of the fees.
We’ve reached out to a Metro by T-Mobile representative for a statement on the matter and will update this article if and when we receive a response.
In the meantime, are you a serial phone swapper? Are you a Metro by T-Mobile customer? Let us know what you think about this policy in the comments below.
