T-Mobile - Flex Pay Confusion
Could someone please explain T-Mobiles Flex plan to me?
I was under the impression that it was sort of in-between prepay and a contract. I just signed up, have 300 minutes but can only make local calls, my texts (local) aren't sending and all my "flex" minutes are used up because I made a call home.
Can I not text or call internationally unless I buy "flex" minutes on top of my pay monthly service?
I thought I was just getting the $29.99 per month option, not really sure what I got now. It says I have "Individual 300 with FlexPay". Confused!

Of course I did read that!
I just thought I'd ask here to see if anyone had any experience with it.
No worries, I'll figure it out. Sorry for the trouble.
Thanks

By reading this I would be under the same assumtion as you are..
Go and see a t.mobile agent tomorrow if I were you.
I SEE the buggers use trick words it says you have access to text messages, but does not say that they are free, you have to add them once you buy the plan.

Re: T-Mobile - Flex Pay Confusion
For plain pre-paid, T-Mobile is the price leader.
For a buck a day, you can get unlimited text messaging and unlimited e-mail and web, even on non-Sidekick devices
, but no minutes included. Those are 15c a minuted. Int'l is more expensive.
Or, for $100, you can get 1,000 minutes, and use them at your leisure. Messaging is extra, but international messages cost the same as domestic ones.
For coverage all over the place, go with Verizon. They also have int'l add-ons that make calls and messages to abroad cheaper.
If you enjoy being butt-raped with the fast spinning rough end of a pineapple, go with at&t.
