MetroPCS USA APN Settings for iPhone/iPad & Android

MetroPCS is one of the largest wireless service providers in the United States. Earlier, it was known as MetroPCS, but now it has rebranded as Metro by T-Mobile. The most popular data plans $50 and $60 bring unlimited LTE data for the users. At $60, the users also get Amazon Prime.

Since Metro has been rebranded as Metro by T-Mobile, it is a no-contract MVNO that is running on the T-Mobile LTE network. Therefore, a T-Mobile-compatible Android phone will also be compatible with Metro if you use the required APN settings.
