Somehow, my comment disappeared the first try.
 
There is probably an arbitration agreement in the contract anyway.

T-Mobile no longer offers the $10/year minimum prepaid account, although
existing ones were grandfathered in. I live in fear...
 
Nobody seems to offer a chunk of voice/data which is good until used up,
at which time you buy another chunk.

To the best of my knowledge there was no contract. Probably a TOS. I
know it's probably dead in the water, but I had hopes. It was really
useful for people who only needed to use it once a year :-(
 
Let's see... We used it to find cheap gas stations between Pasadena and
Houston 3 years ago. I used to find the ACTUAL address of a business
whose street had an ambiguous name maybe a year ago. Uh... I don't
think we were much of a drain on their resources, but we were certainly
unlikely to upgrade our account.
