MetroPCS Users Prepare for 2G Network Retirement and What You Need to Do Next

Important Update for MetroPCS Users: The Retirement of the 2G Network

If you’re a MetroPCS customer reliant on the 2G network, it’s time for a crucial update. As part of their strive to improve the 5G network experience for everyone, MetroPCS is officially retiring the 2G (GSM) network, with changes beginning as early as September 1, 2024. Your device and service will be affected, particularly if you’re still using a 2G-dependent device.

What This Means for Your MetroPCS Service

It’s important to understand the implications of this transition. If you have a device that does not support LTE and Voice over LTE (VoLTE), you might face service disruptions. This includes the inability to make or receive calls, which can even impact your ability to dial emergency services, depending on your location. If you rely on data-only devices and they aren’t LTE or 5G capable, you’ll lose data access as well. Clearly, it’s time for an upgrade.

Steps to Replace Your 2G-Dependent Device

Don’t worry! MetroPCS is here to guide you through the process of replacing your outdated device. Here’s what you need to do:

  1. Visit your nearest MetroPCS store. They have a range of devices that are LTE and 5G capable waiting for you!
  2. Choose a device that meets your communication needs. You can opt for the latest smartphones or budget-friendly options.
  3. If you’re unsure about your current device’s capability, you can check the specifications on the T-Mobile support page.
  4. Ask any questions when you’re at the store. The MetroPCS team is ready to help you make a smooth transition.
