Metro® by T-Mobile partners with other U.S. carriers to provide service in some areas of the country. Se denomina "servicio de roaming de datos nacional" cuando los clientes de Metro usan datos en las redes de estos socios. While roaming, data services work a little differently and have some restrictions. ### How it works Metro by T-Mobile is always looking for ways to offer as much coverage as possible on our own network, so we must sometimes rely on domestic roaming partners to broaden our domestic coverage. Para que esto sea posible, coordinamos con socios externos de roaming de ciertas áreas donde no tenemos cobertura de red propia. En estos casos, no tenemos la misma capacidad de proveer roaming de datos sin límites. Cuando viajas fuera de la cobertura de red de los EE. UU. de Metro by T-Mobile, tu teléfono empieza a usar datos móviles de otro proveedor automáticamente. No hay cargo adicional por el servicio, pero tenemos que limitar de forma razonable el uso fuera de la red. You'll receive a usage alert when you've reached 80% of your monthly domestic data roaming usage allotment; then you'll receive a second alert when you reach 100%. ### Eligibility If you are on a Metro by T-Mobile plan that includes data, then you're eligible for a limited amount of domestic data roaming. ### Things to keep in mind - You will *not* be charged for domestic data roaming. No obstante, una vez que hayas alcanzado la asignación de roaming de datos nacional, tus servicios de datos no estarán disponibles o la velocidad se reducirá hasta que vuelvas a un área de cobertura de T-Mobile o cuando vuelva a empezar tu ciclo de pago. If you have a Wi-Fi-capable device, you can still connect to Wi-Fi to access data in non-T-Mobile coverage areas. - To reduce data usage when roaming: 1. Use Wi-Fi whenever possible, especially when streaming or downloading. 2. Adjust the settings in your phone to disable data roaming. Head over to the [Support](https://www.metropcs.com/support/faq), scroll to the Device section, and you'll find your User Guide. 3. Set email and other social networking applications that synchronize data to "manual" mode instead of "automatic," so you can control when you are syncing data. - Android phones can use applications like __My Data Manager__ to track and control usage. It's not a Metro by T-Mobile application and doesn't show exact network usage, but it may be useful for general reference. ### How much domestic data roaming have I used? You'll receive a free usage alert via text message to notify you once you use 80% of your monthly domestic data roaming allotment, and another when you reach 100%. ### What can I do if I used my domestic data roaming allotment? Una vez que hayas alcanzado la asignación de roaming de datos nacional, tus servicios de datos no estarán disponibles o la velocidad se reducirá hasta que vuelvas a un área de cobertura de T-Mobile o cuando vuelva a comenzar tu ciclo de pago. If you have a Wi-Fi-capable device, you can access data on any available Wi-Fi connection. ## Follow Metro by T-Mobile - [Tiktok](https://www.tiktok.com/@metrobytmobile) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/metrobytmobile/) - [You Tube](https://www.youtube.com/metrobytmobile/) - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/metrobytmobile/) - [X](https://twitter.com/metrobytmobile/) ### Choose language - [English](https://www.metrobyt-mobile.com) - [Español](https://www.metrobyt-mobile.com)
