User Reviews

Most reviewers say PayByPhone is easy to use, fast to load, and convenient for paying for parking without returning to the meter. Many appreciate features to extend parking time automatically or with reminders. However, frequent issues include payment/verification failures and cross-device problems, plus pricing concerns with extra fees and perceived overcharging. Some report location inaccuracies and ads; a few note missing receipts. Overall, the app's ease of use is a strength, but reliability and cost concerns limit consistent use.

Pros

Easy to use and intuitive
Convenient for parking payments—no need to return to the meter
Easy to extend parking time (reminders/alarms)
Fast and smooth to use
Generally good value and inexpensive

Cons

Payment/verification failures and reliability issues (errors, 'something went wrong', cross-device problems)
High extra charges and fees (SMS charges, convenience fees, auto-pay fees)
Location accuracy problems and verification slow
Ads in the app
Missing receipts or billing issues

Recent reviews

Absolute trash for MBTA parking. Could be the T's implementation (max 5 day parking is a disaster if you're on a longer trip and don't have reliable phone/app access) but since the T is the only thing I use this for, it's not doing the job. Also claims to have "connection problems" all the time. Very unreliable, so perfect for the MBTA.
