T-Mobile prepaid cell phones
and service plans

T-Mobile prepaid cell phones, called "To Go" phones, use a digital band. Analog calling is not supported on this network.

To Go phones offer nationwide service, and are capable of roaming when calling out of the carrier's network area.

Prices on T-Mobile prepaid cell phones range from $40 for your more basic phone, to $280 for more advanced models, including the Side Kick II.

Plan prices and options:

A prepaid card is used to refill your minutes. Prices on the "To Go" cards range from $10 to $100. International calling is also offered.

Here's the breakdown of the cost and airtime minutes available:

  • $10 gives you 30 airtime minutes, and expires in 30 days.

  • $25 gives you 130 airtime minutes, and expires in 90 days.

  • $50 gives you 400 airtime minutes, and expires in 90 days.

  • $100 gives you 1000 airtime minutes, and expires in one year.

If you refill your minutes on your T-Mobile prepaid phone before your airtime expires, your leftover minutes will extend to the next expiration date.

Other things you should know:

Once you have purchased $100 dollars worth of airtime, you are automatically upgraded to the Gold Rewards Program.

The Gold Reward Program adds atleast 15% more airtime to your airtime minutes everytime you refill your card.(* Not offered for the Side Kick II).

Text and picture messaging are free to receive, but not to send. Text messaging costs 10 cents for every message.

Picture messaging will cost 25 cents per picture sent.

Side Kick II prepaid plans run slightly different. The cost per call is 15 centsper minute. $1.00 a day gives you unlimited access to the web and your personal email.

You can also send and receive text or instant messages on your prepaid Side Kick II phone. Prices for these services are similar in cost to those of other T-Mobile prepaid phones.
