keep renewing minutes after that as the networks change and to get the

Need to read the fine print on the plan and ask questions. With T-
Mobile you get "Gold" status after you have spent $100 and that
status does not expire. So you buy a $100 card immediately and your
are "Gold." The $100 card comes with 200 bonus minutes and "Gold"
customers get bonus minutes with every subsequent purchase, no matter
how small. If you have "Gold" status any purchase extends all your
minutes for a year. So you could buy a $10 card once a year to keep
all your minutes. After spending the initial $100 you could go for
years with annual $10 purchases. Used this way my T-Mobile phone is
costing me about $75/year. I buy minutes for $100 or $50 in alternate
years.
If you want o be really frugal you can find T-Mobile minutes sold at
a discount on the Internet. You can easily get 3% off and sometimes 7%.
