T-Mobile owned MetroPCS is offering bonus data to customers that sign up for its $50 plan. Those that do will receive 8 GB of high speed data each month instead of the plans normal allotment of 5 GB. This amounts to an additional 36 GB of free bonus data for the year. Unfortunately, and as is often the case with MetroPCS, this is an in store offer only.
The plans $50 price includes taxes and regulatory fees. Music Unlimited is also included, which means that you can stream music from over 40 providers including Apple Music, Pandora, Spotify, Amazon Music and more without having it count against your high speed data cap.
Family/group discounts are also available. Each additional line of service costs just $30 with a maximum total of up to 4 additional lines per account. With the group discounts, a couple would pay $80, while 3 lines would cost $110 and so forth.

Metro uses T Mobile. Having had Metro and TPO in the past, which also uses T Mobile, they both occasionally lose the signal in some buildings.
Yes, this is true. More so if you don’t have band 12 in your area and a band 12 device.
