T Mobile Prepaid Cell Phone Plans:

There are four different prepaid plans offered by T-Mobile, starting with their basic pay as you go plan which allows users to top up their minutes using refill cards. The $10 refill card provides 30 minutes of time, the $25 gives 130 minutes and the $50 card gives 400 minutes, and when users purchase the $100 refill they are automatically enrolled in a Gold Reward program offering 15% more minutes for every refill card purchased, as well as 1000 minutes (including the 15% bonus).

You can also choose T-Mobile’s pay per day plan which starts with a daily access fee of $1 for the days that the phone is used. This will bring you unlimited night minutes after 7pm as well as unlimited mobile to mobile minutes, with other calls charged at 10 cents per minute. T-Mobile’s FlexPay plan is a more flexible option allowing users to choose from popular post-paid calling plans but allowing them to use them in a prepaid plan.

If users choose to sign a contract on this plan they will also be entitled to a subsidy towards the cost of a handset. T-Mobiles Sidekick plan costs $1 per day access charge and gives the user unlimited text messaging, email, web browsing and all other calls at 15 cents a minute.

Pros: Customers can get all the benefits of T-Mobile’s post-paid plans but with the benefit of a prepaid service, in the FlexPay plan.

Cons: When choosing to refill your card with a lower value card calls can work out quite costly, for example calls work out at 33 cents a minute with the $10 refill.
