Pay as you go

T-Mobile pay as you go (for customers joining from 1 June 2011)

When you join T-Mobile pay as you go you'll automatically join our Everyday plan. You can either stay on Everyday or join one of our other 3 plans: Talk, Text or International.

Customers on our Talk, Text or International plans who successfully top-up £10 in a calendar month will get free minutes or texts the following month. We'll send you a text to let you know you've earned the free minutes or texts. We'll add them to your account at one minute in the morning on the first day of the next month. As long as you stay a member of the plan throughout the month, you'll have your free minutes or texts to use in the UK the following month.

If you're on our Talk plan you'll get 100 UK minutes (as described below). On our Text plan you'll get free unlimited UK texts (as described below) and on our International plan you'll get 60 international minutes to call mobiles and landlines in the countries on our International Pass from the UK. On our Talk and International plans, you'll need to use your free minutes during that month, or lose them.

In addition to those free minutes, customers on our International Plan can call or text people in the countries on our International Pass from the UK at lower international rates at all times. See www.t-mobile.co.uk/int for a full list of the countries in the Pass and the costs of calling them.

The very first time you top up £10 in one go, if you're on or move that month to our Talk or Text plans we'll also give you some extra free minutes or texts straight away. On our Talk plan, we'll give you 25 UK minutes (as described below) to use during the rest of that calendar month. Or on our Text plan we'll give you 100 free UK texts (as described below) to use during the rest of that calendar month. Remember, we'll only give you these free minutes or texts once and if you made your very first top up on our International plan, you won't get anything extra straight away.

If you change plans while using the free minutes or texts you've earned, you'll lose any that you haven't already used. And remember, on our International plan you can't buy any of our international calling or texting Boosters.

We'd like to remind you that your terms and conditions say that you mustn't use our services to do anything unlawful or to send nuisance communications. At the moment, we'll decide that you're breaking this condition if you text more than 200 different numbers over the course of the month with your free unlimited texts. Remember, we're free to decide that other types of use may also be breaking this condition. If you do break this condition, we'll disconnect your SIM card from our network without giving you any advance warning.

If you use, whether directly or through a third party, any device to route or re-route voice, text messages or other services on, from or to the network or you sell or attempt to sell or otherwise provide commercial services using our network to any third party, we'll remove your free minutes or texts from you and/or disconnect your SIM card from our network without giving you any advance warning.

Six months free internet on selected smartphones

Join T-Mobile with one of a range of selected pay as you go smartphones and get 6 months of free internet on your phone.

You'll need to activate your free internet by following the instructions we'll send to your phone. We'll then send you a text to let you know that 6 months has begun. We'll also let you know when your 6 months free internet on your phone runs out.

If your phone is always connected to the internet, once your free Booster has run out you'll then automatically be charged up to £1 a day to browse the internet unless you buy one of our 5 day, 30 day or 6 month Boosters. See the legal stuff and fair use policy at www.t-mobile.co.uk/fup.

You'll need internet coverage, check it at t-mobile.co.uk/streetcheck. Remember that you can only use internet on your phone in the UK and you can't use your phone as a modem or use internet on your phone for peer to peer file sharing, or making internet phone calls.

This booster comes with a fair use policy of 500MB per calendar month. We'll monitor how much you send and receive each calendar month so that we can protect our network for all our customers. If you use more than your fair use policy amount, we won't charge you any more, but we may restrict how you can use internet on your phone. We may withdraw this offer at any time.

Six months free BlackBerry email and internet

Join T-Mobile on pay as you go with a BlackBerry and get 6 months of free email and internet on your phone.

You'll need to activate your free email and internet by following the instructions we'll send to your BlackBerry. We'll then send you a text to let you know that 6 months has begun. We'll also let you know when your 6 months of free email and internet has run out.

At the end of your 6 months you'll need to buy a Booster to be able to keep using email and internet on your BlackBerry. You'll need to validate your email account each time you buy a new Booster.

This booster comes with a fair use policy of 500MB per calendar month. We'll monitor how much you send and receive each calendar month so that we can protect our network for all our customers. If you use more than your fair use policy amount, we won't charge you any more, but we may restrict how you can use internet on your phone. Remember that if you want to use your BlackBerry outside the UK then additional charges will apply. Also you can't use your phone as a modem, for peer to peer file sharing, or for making internet phone calls. We may withdraw this offer at any time.

International Pass

If you are a pay as you go customer, to get great rates when phoning abroad from the UK, all you need to do is text INT to 441 to opt in.  We'll send you a text to let you know when it has worked.

You can then make calls and send texts from the UK to mobile and landline (excluding calls to non geographic and premium rate numbers) numbers in the 65 countries listed in the table at reduced rates.

We can remove this offer from your account in the future, but we'll tell you by text message before we do.
