Question

Does anybody have a pay as you go phone with T-Mobile? I'm thinkin about getting one but would like some info on them. Like, do refill cards give you minutes or money on your phone and if u get minutes, how does it charge for text messages??

Answer 1

When you first sign up for the Pay As you Go it's always best to sign up for $100 worth of time right off the bat. It will be a total of 1000 minutes and they expire 1 year from the date of purchase. If $100 dollars isn't in your budget, start off with atleast $25. They have denominations in the following - $10, $25, $50 and $100. The time expires after 90 days but if you refill prior to the expiration date, the minutes you have at the time will rollover when you refill.
Once you've purchased over $100 worth of minutes you're automatically enrolled in the Gold Rewards program. Gold Rewards Whenever, like Whenever Minutes, are minutes that can be used at any time and anywhere on T-Mobile's nationwide network. However, when you become a Gold Rewards customer by adding $100 in refills, you get at least 15% more minutes on all refills and your minutes won't expire for a year.

Keep your phone number

To keep your mobile number active, refill within 90 days after your minutes expire. After 90 days, your account will be canceled and you will lose your phone number. If you want to restart service, you will need to activate new service.

Answer 3

Why would you get a prepaid? Prepaids take up so much money when you call people, like one dollar. Get a Samsung T809. It's $149 with plan.
