t-mobile refill cards

[oifla]

i bought a no-contract phone a while back and it came with a refill card and i have a few questions about the cards.

1) i am a contract customer and have no use for the refill card, is there any way to use this towards my contract account?

2) can i use it for anything else (i.e. like a pay per use data plan if such a thing exists)?

3) are there any other companies that will honor t-mobile refill card cash?

4) is there some place where one can check the balance of the card (i havent used it but it is about a year old, should still be good right?)?

thanks!

1) No

2) Yes, Start a new account PREPAID account with a different sim and apply that card to your account

3) NO

4) They usually expire 1 year after you buy them. I would call a Tmobile Rep to verify

1. Sell it on fleabay. You get less than the face value.
2. Go with prepaid. No tax or 911 tax to pay.

Can you refill in $2 or any other increments?

Can you refill in $2 or any other increments?

If you refill via the My T-Mobile website, you can do any value between $10-150.

Wanted to shoot my foot bc I make a mistake calling a oversea number and cost me $1.99 per min and didnt go thru and Tmo cant do a thing. Now I am $2 short. Very angry.
