Buying this card from Amazon is not a bad option, but there are better ones. Phoneshark.com sells the $100 t-mobile card for $97.50 (without any taxes) and it is delivered instantly via email. Also, cheapphonecards.com sells the card for $97.00 and if you use the code "refill5" you get an extra five dollars off, which makes the total cost $92.00 (also without any taxes)...this is also delivered instantly via email.

I was leery of purchasing this card due to the review that claimed it expires in 90 days. I verified it via Amazon.com before making my purchase of it, and made the purchase. When the card arrived (only 3 days to arrive), it stated on it minutes expire in 90 days. I telephoned T-Mobile To Go before activating the card, and confirmed that with any existing minutes on the phone before activating this card, the existing minutes roll over with the new 1000 minutes for the card, and don't expire for one year. Another positive on this card is that once you exceed $100.00 minutes purchase, you become a premier status, and your calls are reduced from 25 cents per minute to 10 cents per minute. I'm thrilled with this card now that I know the facts about it. I was told by the T-Mobile rep that the 90 day reference on the card is for those who have no existing time on their phone, and also to prompt the customer to activate the card in a timely manner. I hope this clears it up for other prospective buyers. I'm new to cell phone useage, and only got one for emergency or urgent situation use.

T-Mobile revised their Prepaid plan; this card now gives you 1000 anytime minutes, good for 365 days. It also will make you a permanent "gold rewards" customer, which will pay off on future card purchases (consult their website for details). This card, I believe, is the best deal in prepaid, as long as T-Mobile's rather skimpy rural coverage area isn't a problem.

This card now has 1000 anytime minutes which does not expire for a year. 10cents a minute is a good deal. Price of this card is same at all retail locations, but with Amazon you can avoid taxes. Bad thing about Amazon - Had to wait a long time because of out of stock.

T-Mobile has different coverages for post-paid and prepaid services. You need to check out the "prepaid coverage" map on the t-mobile website to be sure you will have the coverage for your toGo service. Strangely, in much of Madison, WI, where t-mobile has no coverage for prepaid service, the incoming calls can go through, as well as text messaging (both in and out).

According to the T-Mobile rep I talked to today, any unused minutes at the end of the year can be rolled over, provided you apply another refill card before the end of the year. Once getting this $100 card, ANY new card will give you another year to use the minutes, since you become a gold rewards member.

[UPDATED TEXT] It used to be that once you applied a $100 card, a $50 card would then also get you .10/min (500 minutes) - and again, all the minutes including old minutes will be good for another year. However, now it appears that this policy is changed for new accounts. Unless you initiated service before the policy changed, now you need to add $100 each time to keep the .10/min.

A beneficial change to their plan is that now roaming is included on these plans. It used to be that only post-paid T-Mobile customers could use other networks. Now pre-paid phones will roam to other networks for the same .10/min.

This is an excellent deal for pre-paid phone service. It's equivalent to about 1000 minutes (I actually got more. You'll have to ask a T-mobile rep to explain that.) The minutes are good for a year, and by purchasing $100 worth of minutes you are enrolled in T-mobile's rewards program. The main benefit of this for me is that future purchases of minutes in any amount are also good for a year. Additionally, if you purchase minutes of any amount before your minutes expire the remaining balance rolls over.

If you're looking for a good prepaid pay as you go plan, then this is it. You get 1000 minutes for $100, which is 10 cents a minute, and their are no hidden or extra fees, that's all you pay. Plus you can use this for a year without having to refill, and you get the gold reward benefits. And if you're an existing t-mobile customer, their are no activation fees. The service is also very good, I've had no problems with losing reception or dropped calls. For the most part it's good, maybe not as good as sprint or verizon but I can't tell the difference. If you want to make this an even better deal, you can find these cards cheaper on ebay (NO taxes!!), I got this for $85 on ebay (8.5/min!!), and it works perfectly. This is the best prepaid deal by far, you won't be dissapointed.

No need to buy here, you can buy it on tmobile website directly using credit card, just type in your tmobile phone number, your credit card number, how many minutes card you need, you can get it immediately after 1 click, no tax for it at all. Don't bother to buy here, waisteing shipping time and cost.

I've used this for over a year, with no problems. 1000 minutes which don't expire for a year, and roll over if you renew. No other company comes close to such a fantastic deal. One caveat: make sure that you renew one day before the annual expiration date, or you lose the rollover minutes.
