Due to privacy reasons I don't believe this is something that MetroPCS may be able to assist with. However, you may contact MetroPCS by calling 888-8metro8, to confirm this is correct. 

Having stated this, I would be more worried about the fact that this person has access to your Facebook Account. You have not stated if you changed your password  recently. However, I would definetely want to do this immediately to ensure your account is secure once again.

You can change your password by following these steps:

  • Sign into Facebook
  • Click on the little gear (wheel) on the upper right hand side of your page.
  • From the dropdown menu, click on your "Acccount Settings".
  • Next to your password you will see an edit button. Choose this to change your password.

This should stop the person from accessing your Facebook Account.

Sorry this is not really a MetroPCS Issue, but is actually a Facebook Issue.

Hope this helps

Curiosity got the better of me on this one so as an after thought i looked stuart pratt up. he is aparently the metropcs network manager and he is based out of Richardson Tx.  Here is a link to some very similer complaints made by others. 

http://ip-address-lookup-v4.com/ip/174.141.208.100

Stuart Pratt has one email listing i found 

[email protected]

and a phone number is listed for him as well. 

214-570-5852 which yellow pages confirms to be metropcs's corporate office in Richardson, tx.  I would call and ask what thats about. If its legit which it probably is.  there should be no problem with answering your questions.

He seams to be the handler of wap.metropcs.net which is not publically accessable like metropcs.com but i know that the non-android phones use proxies that route thru wap.metropcs.net. Im not sure about what the androids proxy settings are  but before i switched to androids i tethered thru wap.metropcs.net and it had one port unmonitored and open (3128) which is the legitimate metro wap settings. so im sure that i.p. is not a hacker. but it may be doing penetration tests to improve the network security. Still I would just call and ask why they are on your facebook. i really would just to know.


If you agree that the answer I provided is correct please remember to "accept" and/or mark it as "helpful" so I know I'm doing a good job. Thank you, I would really appreciate it.
