I have a so-called T-Mobile Pay As You Go account. I will soon have to
add more minutes to it.
So far, I have found that the cheapest online place where I can purchase
minutes is www.pinzoo.com/. I am thinking about purchasing 1,000
minutes for $96.99 but I have never used Pinzoo.com. (I've always
purchased my minutes at brick-and-mortar places like Target or Walmart.)
Questions:
1) Is Pinzoo.com a reputable online web site?
2) Is there a cheaper online site where I can purchase 1,000 minutes
for my T-Mobile account?
PS: I live in the USA

go to fatwallet.com and search hot deals. I got my last batch of 1000 minutes
for just over $91...if I had waited a week I would have got it for $90.
You can also try ebay, fatwallet had a link to someone selling minutes for
basically about 30% off...but ymmv

As you said, it all gets down to personal math.
If 200 bucks a year at 10 cents a minute suits your needs, there's no
sense paying more than $16.66 monthly on a contract.
Beside, the contract might have restrictions/costs the pre-paid
doesn't.
For example, what if there's a situation where you have to use many
minutes one particular month?
Just speculating here, I don't know anything about cell phone
contracts.
Coverage is the first thing to consider. A cell phone that can't make
of receive a call is a bad deal.
