My plan to convert from a monthly cellphone plan to a prepaid ran into a temporary snag.
I went to the local T-Mobile store and when I told them of the change I wanted to make they told me I would lose my phone number if I made that change. They even said that the only way to make that change without losing my present number was to go prepaid with another carrier.
It's been a long time since I fell off the turnip truck so I knew that was wrong. What carrier in their right mind would have a policy like that? Only one that had no business sense. The person simply didn't know his job.
So yesterday I called T-Mobile direct. It took ten minutes to make the change. I received a text message on my cellphone in less than 24 hours welcoming me to T-Mobile Prepaid. I then purchased $100 worth of minutes online with my credit card which came out to $109 with taxes. That bought me (with a 15 minute bonus) 1015 minutes or about 11 cents a minute. Those minutes should last me at least five or six months. They don't expire until a year from now.
I was paying about $540 a year with my monthly plan. With my average use of minutes I should end up paying about $200/250 a year with the new prepaid plan.
Pretty cool. I love it when a plan comes together.
