Yeah I dont really see the problem with whole due date. I mean if that really is an issue then pay $5. I dont see this as being a matter o principal either before that get brought up. If you are saying month to month with metro I would consider them a no contract not a prepaid. If you are buying minutes with them which some people still do ten I would say then yes think of them as prepaid but at this point in time I dont consider prepaid and no contract the same thing anymore. Its like this have you ever lived in an apartment that let you go to month to month after your first years lease was up? If you have could you go up to them and say well I wasnt living there the first 3 days of the month because I was out of town or what ever and expect them to go well ok you can now pay us on the 3rd of each month instead of the first?
Lets see...my prepaid cycle ends and I choose to go 3 days, for whatever reason, without refilling. Although I may still be able to call out using an app or use the internet via wifi, Metro PCS services are not accessible, except to make a payment. So if I want my phone turned back on I do not pay a 27 day prorated month, nor does Metro PCS simply just change my prepay date so that I can have a full 30 days of a service I paid full price for. They make me pay for a full 30 days of service and I only get service for 27 days.
I paid a full months rent...I choose to leave for 3 days. My family is still there, my dog, my furniture. Or lets say me and my whole family left for 3 days and no one is there. I'm still using the house, it is still fully accessible, they have not locked us out and our belongings are still there, although we are physically not. Or even if I move out and took all my belongings, guess what? The house is still accessible to me for the rest of the month I paid for.
If I am 3 days, 6 days, 9, 12 days late paying my rent on ANY lease, I am still allowed a full month access to my house, whether anyone is there or not. There would be no need for me to expect them to change my pay date.
Not so with Metro PCS. If my phone is off for 3 days I don't get phone service for 3 days, yet I'm still paying for 30 days worth of service instead of 27? And even worse I have to pay Metro PCS $5 to do what's right which is to change my prepaid date? That is absurb! And yes I do mean to do what is right because if they weren't wrong there wouldn't be class action lawsuits going on about this same shady business practice.
A class action lawsuit is sure to come.
I don't know what's more alarming, the fact that Metro PCS is doing this, or the people on here that agree with it.
