its great

It’s a real burden on your wallet after a while; somehow im always losing minutes from rounding up calls and once you get down to the last ten minutes, it says your balance is to low to complete the call. Honestly I feel like I was cheated out of a lot of money. NOT the best service for your phone or wallet..

Why can’t we get free nights and weekends and M2M .Give us something so we will stay !!

I have had att, cingular, and t-mobile. The others ripped me on price. I buy 100 bucks at a time, and it costs me 10 cents a minute. No bills, it seems to last me months and months. If I use it alot, I know I will recharge, if not, I have a year of time. Works for me.

Reasonable rates (on gold rewards plan) . No gimmicks like Tracphone etc . Unfortunately the network is just mediocre and there is no call record available online .

this sucks the last time i checked they didn’t even have service where i live in the omaha nebraska area I give a flat 1 star.

I’ve had T-Mobile Prepaid for about 3 years and am very pleased with both the service and my phone. Aside from having to replace it when I accidently washed it, my Seamens phone has been excellent. I’m cheap, so I really like prepay because “I” get to decide what I spend for cellular service, not them. I’m in the market for a new phone now. I’ve checked a lot of the others and am going to get a new phone with T-Mobile again. All in all, I’m very satisfied!

Absolutely outstanding plan for folks like me that use 100 minutes a month. We have four SIM chips, four unlocked phones, and I usually put #100 on one of them every six months or so. Four phones for $200 a year? Can’t beat it. CUstomer service is great to help you set up a phone (I bought some on Amazon/ebay). Coverage is decent. All around great deal unless you are chatty Cathy.

I really like the prepaid T-Mobile On-The-Go.Its really goog for like to makes emrgency calls or talking of a while.But those whi taik alot should get the contract plans.

I’ve had T-Mobile to go for years now and I’m thinking about leaving them.

I cannot beleive, i waited this long to get one. I got one for my wife, who truly rarely calls at all. It was a great buy, she can call internlly, without having to worry about billing or purchasing international cards. The money saved is incredible. I highly recommend this to anyone, who rarely talks on the phone, or even if you do, you buy minutes as you need them, without the hassles or headaches of a contract. Best deal on the planet!!

I’m looking for a cell phone provider after AT&T took over Cingular (no problems with Cingular) then proceeded to ruin my life by charging me for service they never provided, sending me on wild goose chases with c/s reps sending me from one place to another and keeping me on hold. Every time I called it took at least 1-2 hours of my time to get absolutely nowhere. After it was all said & done, I was told I couldn’t be refunded for the 5 mos. of service I was charged but never received, that they would only refund “one month” When I asked WHY? I was (eventually) told “that was their policy.” Oh, REALLY??? Of course I can’t put them in collection for the money they owe me, but they would do it to me in a heartbeat. Anyway, sorry to go off on a tangent… the reason I’m writing is to thank everyone for their reviews, I think I will give TMobile a try. Was going to try Alltel, but there were too many negative reviews. *** ALSO *** I read several complaints about buying phone cards that had already been used, & I read something about that. I guess some people will write down the numbers by the bar code, and then use it themselves. That makes the card useless, but you won’t know that until you buy it & try to use it. They were doing it with gift cards, too. So before you buy it, ask the checker to veryify that it hasn’t been used.

correction: Above I said T-Mobile does not have BS daily access charges” like Tracfone. I meant another company. I remember having TracFone and don’t remember daily charges. That’s was one of their nice features. But still am a bigger T-Mobile fan.”

T-MOBILE (Excellent Choice) #1 quality phones like a Moto Razr (quad band) which can be used overseas on a foreign SIM card. #2 no per day access charges (bs like tracfone) #3 quality coverage on same network as plan subscribers #4 ease of adding more minutes via a card purchase at 7-11 or Wal Mart. #5 ease of checking how many more minutes or when it expires (other companies hide it) #6 great customer support from T-Mobile people #7 Cutting Edge company with new and straightforward services. #8 GSM spectrum (like in Europe) much better quality than crap CDMA #9 SIM card that can be swapped to another phone or a Plan” #10 T-Mobile very felxible about going into plans w/o hidden charges”

THEY NEED TO HAVE FREE NIGHTS AND WEEKENDS LIKE ALLTEL HAS .

They lose a star for patchy reception in certain spots outside the metro area (I live in Seattle). However, although customer service can be a bit confused and misleading, if you ask to speak to a supervisor you CAN get confirmation on important issues, including the most important to someone like me, who uses the cell phone VERY rarely: i.e, the fact that once you’ve spent $100 (for 1000 minutes) THOSE MINUTES WILL NEVER EXPIRE AS LONG AS YOU TOP UP WITH A MINIMUM OF $10 PER YEAR. I set up my phone on December 31 so that I could always remember to top up with $10 at the end of the year. Voila! Everything rolls over and I’m good for another year.

T-Mobile > Tracfone I used to have Tracfone,but they would cheat me out of my minutes,and their phones are prehistoric. Who still uses a Nokia 1100? Then I noticed e-mails from angry customers threatening to sue the company,and asking other customers to sign petitions against Tracfone. Time to switch!

I recently started using T-Mobile and am very pleased so far. I purchased a nokia 6103 with a free $25 card new from the T-Mobile site (the deal is no longer available) and a 1000 minute card off E-Bay. Total cost $154, with a $10 rebate from a buyers site, so my net cost is $143. I don’t plan on using my phone more than a hundred minutes a month, so I calculate my monthly cost to be just under $12 per month, with my minutes at about 12.4 cents/minute. My advice: buy a new phone, not a used one, and don’t buy the cheapest phone. Buy a 1000 card via E-Bay (currently you can easily obtain one from any of several reputable sellers for somewhere between $89-$93). I’ve yet to have any problems either making or receiving calls.

alltel prepaid is best unlimited texting free nights an weekends 10¢ a min usage t mobile sucks

I have been using T-Mobile’s prepaid service for about 1 1/2 years and all I can say is that it’s a pretty decent prepaid service. TM’s prepaid service is a lot cheaper than most prepaid plans–ESPECIALLY VERIZON’S INPULSE PLAN!!! Verizon’s Inpulse prepaid plan eats the hell out of your money–even when you’re NOT using the phone. I don’t understand some reveiwers complaning about how expensive TM is. These reveiwers most be purchasing the $10 and $25 cards instead of purchasing the $50 card. You should always purchase the $50 or $100 card because once you’ve spent $250 in refills on the TM plan, you go Gold. Once you go Gold, you get 460 minutes when you purchase a $50 card and with the $100 card you get 1000 minutes that last for 1 year. How is THAT expensive? The only problem I have with TM is that their coverage is not all that great. If you’re looking for a decent prepaid plan without all the “hidden fees” and daily access fees, go with TM. Just purchase a phone, minutes, activate service and you’re set.

I have had my phone for 2 years now and i love it i always have bars and can make calls and for 10cents a min thats alot better then TracFone .I love my T-MOBILE TO GO PHONE !!

I researched all the prepaid services out there and found T-Mobile’s To Go plans to be the most cost effective & best value. The 100$/1000min. is the best deal (10c/min) The prepaid service is great for me cuz I dont use it very much. Great way to save $$ vs. a $40+ monthly bill

Customer service leaves a lot to be desired.

I have been extremely happy with T-Mobile prepaid service. I’ve used Tracfone and Verizon prepaid, and though both were decent, I feel that T-Mobile gives me the best value. For $100 (less if you buy a card at Wal-Mart) you get 1,000 minutes which are good for one year. I have had zero problems in terms of coverage. There customer service is first class: friendly, knowledgeable people who are native speakers of English! I also recently discovered, to my delight, that when you call 411 for a number, after giving you the number you can opt to get it text messaged to your phone. I also love their My T-Mobile website. You can fill out contact information for your phonebook and get it sent directly to your SIM card. As far as the phones go, not real sexy selection with the prepaid kits, but they’re decent phone. The Nokia I have is a very good phone (Nokia makes very solid products). But because T-Mobile is on the GSM network (as is Cingular/AT&T), you can purchase any unlocked GSM phone, slip in your SIM card, and away you go. I just bought an unlocked Motorola RAZR and am looking forward to it coming in the mail.

I love T-mobile-To-Go. I’ve been a customer for over 2 years now. I researched all the prepaid plans out at that time and T-mobile had the best phones & rates. I’m not a heavy cell-phone user-probably under 100 mins a month; up to 10 text msgs–so I have not had to buy a refill in several months. As a GoldRewards customer (once you’ve purchased $100), the mins don’t expire for a year AND they roll over . I’ve upgraded/switched my phone about 4 times now and all you have to do is switch the SIM card. So EASY. The few times that I’ve contacted customer service, they were very helpful. No problems whatsoever.

Just so there isn’t any confusion, with the ToGo phone, there is no credit check. However, with the Flex Plan, which is their pay-by-month no-contract plan, they DO run your credit. I was told by customer service on the phone to go to a T Mobile store and set it up, but when I got to the store they asked for my SSN and then ran my credit. Resulting in me not getting the phone…obviously since I have prepaid to begin with. If you ARE eligable for the Flex Plan, it seems like a really great plan.

i just got t-mobile to-go like an month ago.i like the phone,but to do text messaging and pics it realy sucks. i just bought a game for my phone and it took away about 30 mins($7.50)if you send text messages or pic then this plan will problay cost you more money than a normal plan.lots of people have been saiying that $100 would last them a year but thats only about 84 mins a month. i think that i would need 2 1000mins for a year.($200)that still is about half the price of a normal plan so go with t-mobile. i only gave it 4 stars because the texting rate realy sucks.i use texting about 5 times a week or more but i gues that i am saveing money.

T-mobile has the cheapest pre-paid plan considering that they almost never drop calls and their service is always good (in st.paul minnesota). However on all the review sites i’ve been to, the RAZR is listed as an available phone, but on the site it’s not (???). Besides the Sidekick which is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY overpriced, their selection kind of sucks. I don’t know what’s up with that because if they had more cool phones they would own the prepaid market.

STAY AWAY FROM VIRGIN MOBILE. Bad customer service, different stories and rules depending on who answers, untrained and unconcerned staff. Even the supervisors seem to have job security” no matter how they treat you. NOTE: They refuse to give a headquarters address. Nigeria? Russia? Secretive and unprofessional. There is nowhere to complain to that will get you anyware. Go for NetZero or Tracfone for real human beings on the other end of the line. Also beware hidden Virgin Mobile charges and pitches to make you pay more.”

I have 4 T-mobile prepaid accounts in my household. First – you have to do the math (duh!) to see if prepaid makes sense for your calling habits. It’s very difficult to get a contract plan for less than $40/month, or a family plan for 4 for less than $80. On T-mobile prepaid, $480 per year will buy you 4800 minutes. If you need less than that prepaid makes sense, otherwise go with the contract. Text messages: each text message sent costs 10 cents, and each text message received costs 5 cents. In place of voice messages it’s economical, but don’t go prepaid if you use text messages in place of an actual phone conversation. Other things to consider: 1. Stay away from the kiosks. Notice how must of the compliants here involve kiosks. Deal with t-mobile directly from their web site, or use auction sites like ebay. One kiosk quoted me a price for a phone almost 3 times higher than the t-mobile web site. 2. You can easily put together what you need for a new account from ebay: a 1900 MHz GSM phone (t-mobile or unlocked), a new SIM card, and an ‘activation kit’ (activation code and initial $10 minute card). I did this for my daughter for less than $50 by buying a used phone. I initially went to ebay because I didn’t want her phone to be the same model as any of the other 3 in the house but in the end she got some nice features for short money. And T-mobile service was great helping me figure out what I needed even though I wasn’t buying any of the equipment from them!

i, like others, use my phone very infrequently. By buying the super cheap pre-paid phone (around $29) and moving the sim card into my first T-mobile phone (which is a better quality phone), and then buying the $100 prepaid minutes, I was able to cut my phone bill in half. Very worth it if you already have a decent t-mobile phone AND you don’t use your phone a lot.

^^^ LOL!

i havent yet bought a cell phone from t-mobile.it would be my first cell phone and my parrens say i would have to pay for it myself.i would like to have a real plan but that are to pricy and i could never use up all those mins.ive been looking around and t-mobile looks like the best with pay as you go.i wish that they had more options like more cell phones to choose from,and higher refills. this sight has helped me out a lot and i think im going to buy a phone today.or at least go to the store and ask some questions.

We purchased To Go phones from a retailer. Activating the phones is HELL. The auto system was down for the first two tries. On the 3rd day, I was able to get through a cust serv rep but she couldn’t do anything because system was still down. Why does T-mobile sell phones that customers can not activate. If they sell products that don’t work then I consider that a SCAM. Don’t buy T-mobile. Try other services.

I have had T-Mobile Prepaid for months. Here are my ratings… Phones: Very high quality (regardless of the RAZRs which are low quality with EVERY provider). Fast working. Customer Service: I have NEVER EVER found greater. They are so nice. Always speak English and don’t even have accents. I’ve had to use this about every month. Low holding time. Rates: Prepaid rates are about average. I have a Sidekick II and for all the features, it’s only $1 a day, not including calls. With the Sidekick II, the calling rates are somewhat high for me but I don’t call much.

I was on the phone for almost 15 minutes getting my phone activated and at the final stage I get a recording telling me the service was unavailable. I tried again the next day and managed to get it activated. No big deal. A few days later I bought a refill card and made several attempts throughout the day trying to add minutes. Nothing. It beeps three times at the end of the 10-minute process and the line goes dead. I can’t do it over the phone and the mytmobile website has been down for routine maintenance” since yesterday. I’m starting to have regrets. “

T-mobile is a very good provider, with a good display of phones. 4 stars though only because could do better with their $10 and $25 refill minutes, and I think the could do with a ruggedized phone on their line up. Other than that, they have one good service.

love it

very good phones from tmobile

if you only use your phone for text or just for calls…a $10.00 card will last a month…if you are a long talker..don’t go prepaid..i, when i talk use a house phone…my baby likes to talk and i use minutes like crazy..but if i only use my phone for text i can text for almost a month..and still send pixs…t-mobile is topanbonebilly@yahoo.coms in my book…so all you children that are whinning and crying get a life and leave Mr. T-Mobile alone

cough wheeze:)switch to kajeet at bestbuy

I’m a very light user (and rarely send or receive text messages), and I bought a $100 refill card (1000 minutes) with the phone. Now I can keep my account active by spending $10/year and won’t need to buy another $100 card for several years.

T-mobile is AWSOME!! You don’t have to worry about those stupid activation fees. All of their phones start you off with at least $10 (30 minutes) of service when you buy them off their site. And i think the 100 dollar plan is great! Service for a whole year and 1,000 minutes!! I also hear if you pay $170 dollars you get unlimited service and don’t have to worry about buying more minutes to keep your phone active. (They also have low priced monthly plans.) Their ringtones are top-of-the-line for only $1.49 ea. that’s a perfect price. They have an awsome selection of phones, they’re not ugly and cheap like other service providers. Many of their phones feature the Bluetooth wireless technology which means you can connect your phone to your headset or computer wirelessly. Customer Service is available 24/7 to help you out, just call 1-877-387-4324. If you order from the site, they will give you free shipping on ALL phones! (If you want faster shipping, such as overnight, they will charge.) I hope my review helped you, and if you decide to hop on board with T-mobile I know you will enjoy it!!

I had Verizon formore than 8 years. Since I was set up for no paper billing the monthly was being billed to my credit card. I didn’t pay much attention till recently as to how many minutes we were using in a month. Noticed for last 12 months we used less than 200 minutes on average. So switched to T-mobile prepaid after my usual research. Thank you prepaidreviews. you are extremely helpful. So far I am very happy with T-mobile Customer service is excellent. The coverage in chicago area where I live is very good.

TMobile is only so-so if you are heavy into texting. But I’m not dissing it cause the refill cards do save you on phone calls….

I just needed a basic phone for occasional use outside my home. The TM prepaid is a straight forward plan. After buying the $100 gold card I find it very easy to keep track of my minutes. In addition there is no access or roaming charge and the cost to phone someone from Los Angeles to New York, day or night is the same 10 cents per minute. And above all no hounding me for a credit card to refill my minutes every 1-3 months. Any questions I have asked from customer service was always courteous and professional. Until a better prepaid plan comes along, I think I’ll stick with TM.

Absolutely love T-Mobile prepaid. I am way over contracts with Verizon and Cingular! Much better service, pricing, and Customer Support than Tracfone.

There are many more positive reviews here than at the Mobiledia Forums re: TMobile. And it’s refreshing! I had already written off TMobile earlier today and have been reading at this site all afternoon (the only other prepaid, out of the long list of options at this site, that sounded good was the Page-Plus). But now I just may consider TMobile again (I guess it boils down to which coverage will work in my area: CDMA vs. GSM). ———————- Previously I was with Cingular month-to-month (contract expired several years ago) and had a good plan, grandfathered-in from when Cing first came to town, $29.99 ($38 w/all the taxes) for 250 day/1000 N&W, and unlimited TEXT msg. I do like the free texting for weather alerts and such, but never even use the phone minutes anymore so that’s like $451 annually wasted.

I don’t like how on the website they don’t tell you what they have on t-zone. You could end up with crap.

I just got rid of my verizon contract,and even paid a termination fee,just to come back to t-mobile togo prepaid service.With contract you get too many minutes that you lose,but paid for.I want to use the minutes that I want,not what a carrier tells me I should get.

T-Mobile is a great prepaid plan. There is no act. fee and my phone came with headset. If you really want to save money, buy a $100 card on ebay for around $90.

I really enjoy T-Mobile. I must make one statement to the less intelligent people phones don’t break people break them… be accountable!

When you buy the pre paid card at the store they are already used. When you call t mobile you are left on hold for over an hour and who knows how much longer. I finally hung up.

I think this company rocks. I do not have the phones yet but i have sudied for quite sometime now and there are not hidden fees, credit checks, and customer care are probably the nicest people on earth. They give high quality phones at low costs. Their rates are low and very balanced, AND AFTER GETTING 100 DOLLARS WORTH OF TIME, YOU GET MORE FOR YOU MONEY, YOU GO FROM 130 MINUTES TO 150 MINUTES, AND YOU GO FROM 400 MINUTES TO 460 MINUTES. RIGHT ON TMOBILE, YOU ROCK.

The $100 for a full year prepaid plan is the best around if you don’t talk much. And T-Mobile coverage is about as good as Verizon.

Transferring un-used minutes to another phone would be great, especially if you can take your number” too.”

Great deal on minutes (10c/min) but they make their money with text messaging.

BEWARE!!!! People need to be aware that stores are selling the To Go cards and when you go to put the minutes on your card you are told the Pin has already been used. T Mobile will not do anything and the store will not do anything. T Mobile would not even give me the phone number of the phone who has my minutes. I have the reciept and card.

For those that keep asking for a way to transfer their minutes to another t-mobile phone (or any unlocked phone for that matter,), just simply pull out the sim card and put it in the new phone. Problem solved.

yes, if you want to allure more clients. it is better to allow the transport of un-used minutes to another T-Mobile prepaid phone.

Thanks to all the “objective” reviews on this site, I was able to compare “ALL” the costs, and TM To Go comes out ahead hands down…

Wow, this is a good site for getting some solid info

I think I am going to write TM too. Couldn’t hurt and they may take our suggestions.

I MADE THE FOLLOWING SUGGESTIONS TO T-MOBILE ON THEIR WEBSITE:

Look at all the facts. Some plans may start out cheaper than another, but after they nickel and dime you to death with “access” and other fees and charges, it ends up costing a lot more. This web-site provided great information as a starting point for me to conduct my own research, and for my needs T-Mobile tops them all. I started right off saving with the $100 gold card and a basic but good Nokia phone.

So far so good…though if T-Mobile wants to be the best prepay service… They need to offer thier mobile-to-mobile minutes to us t-mobile prepay customers and not just t-mobile contract customers…we’re all part of the t-mobile family:)

T mobile straight up sucks I hate your pre-paid plans. Im going back to virgin mobile they are a hell of alot better than you guys.

I got my sidekick 3 a couple of months ago. I don’t really use the phone that much but I do txt allot sometimes I think I used 15 dollars worth but no its like a dollar its like they forget to charge me sometimes. I think t-mobile is terrific for anybody who doesn’t use the phone that much only on emergencys and such. and I love the web browser on it downloads are great too only kinda expensive

This site is to let people know about t-mobile to go,prepay service.I wish that people would stop being stupid morons talkng about broken and bad phones,or free nights and weekends,this is strait prepay,its not like contract.People should study prepay service before writing dumb comments.I am a college student, gave up my cingular contract for t-mobile prepay service,because the service is good,it is not like contract where you get more goodies,but with contrct you have to pay out of your butt $$$$$$.Prepay is only fo people who use cellular for only making and receiveing calls,only when you need it,not calling every moron in the world.

talk about dropped calls. It doesn’t get a very good signal. Indoors at a business forget it. I do not like this phone.

Hands down this is the best pre-paid plan. I have written to T-Mobile to seriously consider issuing a $170 platinum card (2,000 minutes) which equates to an even lower savings of 8.5 cents/minute. For all of you satisfied T-Mobile customers, make a suggestion on their web-site and they may listen or email them.

T-mobile to go is great. $100 for 1000 minute and it last for a whole year. That comes out to 10 cent/minute. The lowest postpaid plan t-mobile have is $30 and it comes with 300 minutes a month with unlimited weekends. Let’s ignore the unlimited weekends. If you get t-mobile to go, than it comes out to be the same as the $30 postpaid plan, without the unlimited weekends. But, for the postpaid plan, if you go over your minute, you get charge 40 cent per minute. So, getting prepaid is good for this part.

I’ve had AT&T (now Cingular) and Verizon for over 10 years. My first was a bag phone. I did forward all calls to my cell phone because I had dial-up ISP. Finally, my phone company got DSL here. For past six months I’ve used approx 300 min/month at $40 for 450 minutes plan from Verizon (that’s about 15 cents/minute for 300 minutes). Verizon is a very good carrier with good coverage; but T-Mobile’s pre-paid plan should save me $180/year minimum. It really will be more like $350 to $400 annual savings, because often I called my relatives long distance just because I had minutes to use up. I drove around my area comparing Verizon and T-Mobile coverage. It was a wash where I live; both phones lost service occasionally, but in different locations. Also, the rates while roaming in Canada and Mexico were better than my rates on Verizon last time I used it. All my comparisons are based on the 1000 min/$100 minutes. All the other negative things said sound more like some teeny-boppers (is that what they’re still called) who don’t have a clue how to figure amortization costs and depreciation schedules or use a little TLC when handling electronic equipment.

I buy two (2) $100 Gold Cards (2,000 minutes) & I’m all set for the whole year! As the above reviewers stated, I also want the option of upgrading my prepaid phone to a model of my choice and transferring my unused minutes on it. I would be in hog heaven if T-Mobile did that and a customer for life!! And oh yeah, T-Mobile phones are all decent phones from the least expensive on up! Sweet sweet deal indeed!

i am so luck i see this reviews before i make my decision. So, i think the prepaid is most suitable for me.tomorrow i will go to their shop to open one. i am a international student. i am so curious why all the retailer always persuad us open the monthly plan. and my friends never use up their minutes! thanks.

just got my phone! working good for me!

I didn’t know this plan existed, I only knew that I didn’t want to sign a contract, and didn’t want my credit card charged every 90 days. God bless my older brother who gave me a basic starter kit that included phone, all accessories and a $10 & $100 gold minutes as a birthday gift. My very first cell phone!! Customer service was very courteous and helpful and after reading the instruction booklet I was on my way! I am not a power user as after six months I still have about 700 minutes left. TM To Go is simply the best!!

REGARDING THE REFILL MINUTES:

I’ve had T-mobile prepaid since the time they were known as Voicestream… that’s a long time! I’ve been very happy with their service and have never had a problem with any of the Nokia phones that I purchased with the service. In fact, my original phone that I got about 10 years ago still works. I’ve upgraded my phones since then just because I like cool new things. I’m considering filling up a couple of these old phones with $100 worth of T-mobile prepaid service each and donating them to the local domestic violence shelter. If anyone needs reliable service, it would be a domestic violence victim. T-mobile has always been as reliable as a sledgehammer. I am also a disaster-relief volunteer. I live in Tornado Alley and sometimes travel out of my area to assist in relief efforts. I have never had a problem with coverage or roaming, and on some occasions T-mobile provided us volunteers who were T-mobile prepaid or regular customers with free service while we were on a relief mission. A lot of other prepaid providers didn’t do that for their customers.

With this prepaid plan T-Mobile has now made it affordable for just about anyone to have a cell phone.

GREAT GREAT GREAT IS ALL I CAN SAY !WHERE ELSE CAN YOU GET 1000 MIN. FOR $100.00 SAN DIEGO CA.TO LITTLE FALLS NY SERVIVE WAS GREAT, THANKS T MOBILE

I spend only $100 – used 1000 minutes last year great” ! i refilled for $100 again and using 1000 minutes for this year !”

This is the best plan if you’re not into sending text messages, talk less than 30 minutes a week or for emergency use only. My husband purchased this plan after I had a flat tire & had to walk to a phone booth at night…dangerous to say the least. Some weeks I don’t talk at all, saving me more rollover minutes. As the previous reviewers stated, the best bang for the buck is the $100 gold card that gives me 1,000 minutes for the entire year. Next year when I purchase another gold card (at a discount), I will also receive 15% additional minutes. No contracts, no accessing my credit card, no nickel and dimeing me to death plus great coverage, this is perfect for me!! Look under the “Best Rated Providers” on this site and they even rate this plan #1.

Never Again!

Clearly for those who use about 350minutes or more/month this is not a good plan. But if you are using less than 200-300min/month this is a better deal. I had 4 phone with family plan 700 minutes and paid about 1116 a year. We hardly hit 350 minutes/month. We switched to prepaid plan with 4 phone, paying 100/phone for 1000/phone for a year ($400). We are using about the same minutes per month and we save $700 a year Do the math to see how much you can save before you change your plan. I am glad I did.

No monthly charge and pay for only the minutes you use… nice plan indeed…

And tmobile is the only provider that doesnt offer its prepay customers free nights and weekends!””

i love t-mobile!!!!!!!!!!!

tmobile is the best! I have an x495 (blue), and its a perfect basic durable phone. I dropped it a couple of times, but it still works fine. I like the t-zones and gold rewards are awesome!

i love t-mobile! haha lol i want a sidekick like uber bad!

My advice check your minute usage, they stole an hour from me once and gave it back claiming a computer glitch on their end, they stole 24 minutes, claiming I made a 24 minute call while in church with the phone turned off! God only knows how many other times they’ve stolen minutes! If anyone else has had this problem, please speak up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Never ever again.

Don’t listen to complaints of “I broke my phone” and “I lost my phone” because TMobile does not make phones – blame Nokia or Motorola or your own inability to protect a delicate device. The fact is no other company has a lower price and allows you to swap SIM cards with all GSM phones, including phones from Cingular. Get a prepaid SIM card from eBay for $5 or $10. Buy the $100 card and get 1000 minutes for the year. Buy a used TMobile or Cingular phone from Craigs List and you are all set. I use it, and so does my 12 year old, its the best plan, and I am not a Mobile phone dealer anymore, this is not a paid advertisement!

I gave up my contract with cingular,now at&t,I had the 450 minute plan which came out to almost 50 dallars a month,way too much for what you get.Now days people do a lot of talking,but say nothing,thats just going through the motions,with contract.I got t-mobile to go,you get only the minutes you need for real business,I am glad I switched to tmo to go, oh,by the way,one less stupid bill in my mail box,the less the better.

t-mobile to-go !!simply… is the best!!!!

I gave up cellphone contracts altogther,because I have a home land line,which includes long distance,so why would anybody want a cell plan,if cannot catch me at home,call me on my tmobile to go phone.All I need is a couple of the 100 dollar cards and I am set for a whole year.With all the money I save,about 450 dollars,I could pay my electric bill and my dial up internet computer service for 1 whole year,12 months.Now days people shoud save money not waste it.

Mann Forget All The Talk About T MOBILE SUCKIN!!…T Mobile Is The Best Phone Company…There customer service is the best…I went over my minutes and they let me slide and said it was okay…no charges…no fee’s…ima stay with t mobile and my new T MOBILE DASH…

This is a great phone plan for those of us who are not power users, and need a phone for the occasional call. Service is great and reception very good. It beats paying $35/mo and finding ways to use those minutes, and there are no overage surprises. Those complaining about the per minute costs just don’t get it.

The T-mobile REPRESENTATIVES ARE VERY VERY RUDE. Can you imagine that one of the representatives hung the phone on my face and disactivated my number so I couldn’t call her back. This is very. ridiculous and very ashame for t-mobile.My rating will be 0 stars but unfortunately there is no such rating.

awesome $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
