T-Mobile loophole
How to rob T-Mobile, part 1.
On Ebay, people are selling SIM cards for T-Mobile To Go, their prepaid product.
The SIM card comes with $30 airtime! Pretty good deal. (Only 100 minutes...but you get the idea.) It's a good deal because they are selling the card for $8ish. So you can buy $30 of airtime for $8.
Except you get a new phone number every time.
Well, I just discovered a trick. Call and say "hey I lost my phone. I just bought a new SIM card though. Can I recover the old number?" They will take your $30 credit on the new phone and put it on the old account and then swap the old phone number onto the new SIM. So....you have $60 on the phone.
