Looking for some quick credits to order a new phone with your prepaid company? I’ve had a phone with Virgin Mobile for over 2 years now and broke the phone. I rarely use the account, so I didn’t want to spend much money.
Since T-Mobile has always given me credits when I loose/want a new phone (even without a contract push), I decided to call in and mess with some VM reps. A rep offered me $10, the maximum amount they can offer. Talking with a retention agent, I was able to score a total of $20 towards a new phone.
This could work with other prepaid providers, or maybe I just got lucky. It’s worth trying out if you have had your account for awhile.
