MetroPCS Becoming Metro by T-Mobile

T-Mobile said it's rebranding its prepaid MetroPCS product as Metro by T-Mobile. T-Mobile, which completed its buy of MetroPCS in April 2013, said it’s time for a makeover. The combination of T-Mobile’s and Sprint’s prepaid lines under one company is seen as a potential sticking point to their proposed deal (see 1808270049). “Metro by T-Mobile launches next month with new all-unlimited plans, including a tier that features Amazon Prime, making it the only U.S. prepaid wireless brand to include all the shopping and entertainment benefits of Prime … and, the first and only wireless brand to include Google One, a subscription with expanded cloud storage and mobile backup,” T-Mobile said Monday.
