In today’s technologically advanced society, simple tasks are overlooked as being too easy. Take for an example a cellular phone. The majority of the world has a cellular phone and whether it is postpaid or pre-paid, cellular phones are essential. The concerns which arise regarding cellular phones are not everyone knows or understands how to load or buy wireless phone minutes.

Step #1

The first step encountered when a consumer goes to buy wireless phone minutes is selecting the correct retailer. The more convenient option would be purchasing the refill cards from wireless retailer, but major retailers have now begun carrying them as well. Since the amount on the card represents the amount of minutes, the fees will be the same. One key to remember when one goes to buy wireless phone minutes, the cards will not work unless they are purchased. Several dishonest attempt to steal cards only to realize the cards will not work as directed.

Step #2

After the purchase, turn the card over to revile a silver strip. This strip is similar to a scratch lottery tickets. At this point, remove the silver strip in its entirety. What will be revealed is the pin number associated with this particular card. If a customer were to buy wireless phone minutes, the purchase will not be linked to any other card. This stops criminals from defrauding the selling establishment. Do not share this pin number with anyone else. If the pin number is revealed, someone who didn’t buy wireless phone minutes can use them for their phone.

Step #3

Now the silver strip is removed, call the 800/866/877 number on the card. There will be a series of prompts to assist the consumer in adding the minutes to their phone. Once the minutes are added, the phone is ready to use again. A point to remember, the person who goes to buy wireless phone minutes, should be the owner of the phone. This rule will stop fraudulent claims of misplaced wireless phone cards.

Several points to remember if someone were to buy wireless phone minutes are as followed. If the minutes do not instantly appear on the phone, wait a few minutes before calling the retailer to complain. Retailers cannot refund wireless phone card minutes. The concern should be escalated to the wireless provider.
