Q.   Can I change my rate plan at anytime without penalties?
 
A.   Yes, regardless of where you are in your contract you may change your plan according to your needs. There are no fees in changing your plan to a higher or lower package; HOWEVER you will be subject to resigning your service agreement for 1 year from the time of change if your current contract is less than 1 year. The new rate plan will not be effective until your next billing cycle. If however you request the plan to be effective immediately you will be subject to prorated charges.

Q.   What are prorated charges?
 
A.   Prorated charges are the partial billing. For new activations it is from the start of service to the end of the billing cycle. For change in rate plans it is the old rate plan beginning billing cycle date to the date of change and the new rate plans date to the end of the billing cycle. For an estimation of your prorated bill take your rate plan and divide it into the number of days in the month and then multiply it by how many days of service.
IE: Billing cycle is the 12th each month
Date of Activation was the 1st of the month
The rate plan is $39.99 each month

$39.99plan % 30 days = $1.33 per day
$1.33 per day x 18 days (#days left until the next billing cycle) = $23.94

This does not include any taxes, overage charges, directory assistance, text messaging, activation fees, etc etc.

Q.   I have a T-Mobile Prepaid aka “T-Mobile To Go” account, will my minutes carry over?
 
A.   If the account has not yet expired, yes the remaining minutes on the prepaid balance will carry over if you add a new card. You will however lose your remaining minutes if the account is not replenished by the date of card expiration (NO EXCEPTIONS). (For card amounts and expiration please refer to the prepaid section of T-Mobile).

i.e.: If you purchased a $10 card which has 30day expiration, comes with 60 minutes and you purchased it on January 1st.

You have only used 10 minutes and it is January 29th.

If you purchase another $10 card on the 29th and entered it into their system your account will remain active for another 30days from the date of entry. The remaining balance here is 50 minutes so replenishing the account will be 50 minutes + 60 minutes giving you 110 minutes.

However if you were to purchase a new card say February 3rd you have lost those 50 minutes left on the account and will only receive the minute amount on the new card purchased.
