MORE: The Fastest Wireless NetworksT-Mobile had a average download speed of 23.5 Mbps nationally, compared with 22.1 Mbps for MetroPCs. In some of the testing spots around the country, in fact, MetroPCS even outperformed its parent company.
In 2012, T-Mobile reached an agreement with MetroPCS to take over the smaller company. The Sprint acquisition is now the company's largest successful purchase.
T-Mobile has owned MetroPCS since 2013 and changed the name to Metro by T-Mobile in 2018. Metro runs on (you guessed it) T-Mobile's network and uses its towers to provide coverage.

In short – the answer to “Why is Metro PCS cheaper than T Mobile” is their customer service is designed to be inept. Going from a $25/month cell phone plan to $30 per month cell phone plan it's not much of a price difference but I figured I wouldn't be able to get a refund for the unused days.
How to Update Metro PCS
- Dial "*228" on the keypad while in your local calling area.
- Choose option 2 from the list of options that appears.
- Tip. If you set the phone to "Automatic," it automatically looks for the strongest connection instead of leaving it up to you to find one.
If your mobile data is giving you trouble, one of the first things you should try is turning airplane mode on and off. Paths can differ slightly depending your Android version and phone manufacturer, but you can usually enable Airplane mode by going to Settings > Wireless & networks > Airplane mode.
