What you'll find at this MetroPCS location

MetroPCS at 2603 Greenville in Spartanburg is a wireless retail store where you can purchase phones, activate service, add lines to an existing account, or handle billing questions in person. The store carries current smartphone models and can set up your device on the spot. If you're switching from another carrier, staff can help transfer your number to MetroPCS service.

  • If you're switching carriers, have your current phone number and account information ready so the store can port your number.
  • MetroPCS operates on a prepaid monthly model, so you'll pay for your plan before service starts rather than receiving a bill later.

What to bring when you visit

For a new account, bring a valid government-issued photo ID (driver's license, passport, or state ID card). You'll also need a payment method — MetroPCS accepts debit cards, credit cards, and cash. If you're activating service, have your Social Security number ready, as carriers use it to verify identity during account setup.

If you're switching your phone number from another carrier, bring your current phone or have your account number and PIN from your old carrier available. The store can port your number during activation, which usually takes a few minutes to a few hours to complete. If you're adding a line to an existing MetroPCS account, bring the account holder's ID and any relevant account information.

Phone selection and pricing

MetroPCS carries a rotating selection of Android and iPhone models, from budget-friendly options to current flagship devices. Prices vary depending on the phone model and whether you purchase it outright or on a payment plan. The store staff can show you what's in stock and explain the cost of each option.

Some phones may be available for a lower price if you activate service at the same time. Ask the staff about current promotions or bundle deals when you visit. If a specific model isn't in stock, the store may be able to order it for you.

MetroPCS plans and service details

MetroPCS offers several prepaid monthly plans with different amounts of talk, text, and data. Plans are paid upfront each month before service begins. You can view current plan options and pricing on the MetroPCS website or ask staff at the store to walk you through what's available.

Service runs on T-Mobile's network, so coverage depends on T-Mobile's signal in your area. If you're unsure whether MetroPCS will work well where you live or work, check the coverage map on the MetroPCS website before visiting the store. The store staff can also answer questions about network coverage in Spartanburg.
