Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / T-Mobile / September 2006to go minutes question
If I have 100 minutes on my to go phone the day before expiration and add another 1000 minutes will the 100 on the phone be extended to the 1000 new minutes expiration date or do they still expire on the original expiration date? >If I have 100 minutes on my to go phone the day before expiration >and add another 1000 minutes will the 100 on the phone be extended >to the 1000 new minutes expiration date or do they still expire on >the original expiration date? Unexpired minutes will be added to the total, thus extending the expiration date to that of the newly-added minutes. >If I have 100 minutes on my to go phone the day before expiration >and add another 1000 minutes will the 100 on the phone be extended >to the 1000 new minutes expiration date or do they still expire on >the original expiration date? There is only one total, and one expiration date. When you add 1000 minutes, your total will be 1100 minutes, and will expire one year from when you added the additional minutes.

So if you're a Gold Rewards member already and the day before your minutes expire you buy a $10 card that will extend the new and all remaining minutes for another year? >>>If I have 100 minutes on my to go phone the day before expiration >>>and add another 1000 minutes will the 100 on the phone be extended [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >minutes expire you buy a $10 card that will extend the new and all >remaining minutes for another year? That's my understanding. I only use my prepaid T-Mobile SIM when I'm in the US, and I virtually always use more then 500 minutes per trip, so I always add $100 cards...

Cool, thanks -- That was my interpretation of the agreements but I've never tried it (as I mentioned before, I use my phone infrequently, but when I do, I go through 500+ minutes, so the $100 refill option is best) Signature#define QUESTION ((bb) || !(bb)) -- Shakespeare >> So if you're a Gold Rewards member already and the day before your >> minutes expire you buy a $10 card that will extend the new and all [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > >yes, I've done exactly this.

That is exactly how it worked for me on 26 July 2006. sdb SignatureWanted: Omnibook 800 & accessories, cheap, working or not sdbuse1 on mailhost bigfoot.com > If I have 100 minutes on my to go phone the day before expiration > and add another 1000 minutes will the 100 on the phone be extended > to the 1000 new minutes expiration date or do they still expire on > the original expiration date? It also converts your existing "minutes" (which, is actually a dollar amount) into the lower rate of the new card if it is a lower rate. So, if you had 100 "minutes" at .25/min (or $25) you'd have 1250 "minutes" (or $125 at .10/min) after adding a $100 topup. >> If I have 100 minutes on my to go phone the day before expiration >> and add another 1000 minutes will the 100 on the phone be extended [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >rate.

But does it convert existing minutes to a higher rate if you buy a lower rate card? Right now since we bought a $100 card to start we're at .10 a minute, if I top off the card to extend the minutes another year will that go up? Not that it _really_ matters, 7 months and we've used less than 200 minutes. > >> If I have 100 minutes on my to go phone the day before expiration > >> and add another 1000 minutes will the 100 on the phone be extended [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > >rate.

Instead, it's basically an "averaging" of the cost from what others with personal experience said. So I guess if you had 500min @.10/min then added a $25 card for 100min @.25 (not sure what the actual rate is) you'd end up with 600 minutes @12.5/min, something like this. |
