Best Answer

With a pay as you go phone, you just purchase the phone at a department store. When you need minutes, you purchase a prepaid card; you scratch off the back to get an authorization number which you enter into your phone and the minutes will added for you. Some companies, such as Boost, TMobile, Net10, and Metro PCS offer monthly unlimited plans for a set monthly fee. Metro PCS phones are usually more expensive than others.

Can all T-Mobile phones be used on their prepaid plans?
