Absolutely. The payment method for the phone is set at the network's computer - not the handset. If you have a pre-paid t-mobile phone, and want to stay with them - contact their customer service number and explain what you want to do. You may have to endure a credit check before they switch you onto a contract - but that's usually just a formality.
If I had an contract plan with alltel and i cancelled the contract can i use the phone as a prepaid phone
Yes
Tmobile
The phones that are available for the no contract prepaid plan with T-mobile are Concord, Nokia X2, T Mobile 665, LG Optimus, My Touch, Blackberry Curve, and just about any Samsung phone. All T-mobile phones are also available to use prepaid.
Yes. if it is a tmobile sim card and a tmobile phone then this will definitely work. you will also be able to carry on with the same price plan and number you used before. If you currently have a Tmobile phone on a contract plan that is complete you can also just change your plan to a pre paid plan and keep on using the phone that you have. UPDATE: As of April 2012, TMobile prepaid phones may only connect to T Mobile towers, limiting your signal (since they also use ATT towers) and giving you varied signal strength depending on your location. So, it's best to unlock any prepaid phone. Ask T Mobile to send you the unlock code or pay someone to unlock your phone.
I have a regular phone. I am off contract now. Found a prepaid phone. Can I keep my same number?
Yes, only if you buy the phone at the retail price of $399.99 US Dollars without any plan or contract. Then you could use the prepaid pay as you go minutes. Resources: TMobile Customer Service and Personal Experience

Yes, in the case of TMobile I bought a prepaid tmobile phone and have been able to use it for my postpaid tmobile account. The sim card was smaller so I had to contact them to transfer my phone number. I know that Virgin phones can only be used with their carrier but I'm not sure what other carriers rules are.
Not normally no. You normally have to go and get a phone from those companies before you can get a contract from them. Im not exactly sure about Tmobiles requirements, but for other places you normally can't do it. So i would go and find out the requirements of Tmobile.
no no and no! You could just call T-mobile and know right away..I work for a cell phone company ( not T-Mobile ) and our prepaid phones will work with our contract service and vice versa...
Yes T-Mobile offers great prepaid phones at a cheap price. You can find these phones at walmart, target and costco wholesale stores.
