Actually, you're both correct. When the due date is coming up, you can add as little as $10.00 to it and all of the minutes will be valid for an additional year, this is provided you have previously added at least $100 in refills to the account beforehand.
The detail that was wrong in the other post was that there is no need to bring the account back up to the $100 level to keep your status. In fact, you never have to have had a $100 balance at any given time, just spend at least $100 over time. Though if you like the service the easiest thing to do is just buy a $100 card and get it over with.
The other nice thing about T-Mobile is that if you have achieved gold status and have had your phone for a few months, they will give you the unlock code for it with no argument at all. It's handy if you're planning some international travel; using a SIM from the US is useful for emergencies if you're with a carrier that supports it, but if you plan to make any significant number of calls (or data use for a smartphone) it's WAY cheaper to buy a local prepaid SIM. (They are readily available in most parts of the world.) I guess T-Mobile is not worried that you'll take your phone so you can get a better deal with another US carrier because there aren't any better deals out there.
