Is there a way to transfer TMo2Go minutes?

[Chiguy]

My wife and I each have a TMo2Go phone. She has about 500 minutes left and I have 1600 minutes left. She used her phone enough that I think it's almost time we jump to a regular plan with texting and data. I'd like to use up our minutes first, but I use very little and she goes thru them pretty quick. Is there a way I can transfer, say, 1000 minutes to her SIM card? Customer Service in Singapore (or wherever) was not helpful. Thanks!

I'm not aware of any way to do that. However if you want to use up the balance before T-Mobile seizes it, you could use SMS donation to charities. Here is a list of current available charities:

You can even get a tax receipt.

According to this page, not sure if it's current:

If you transfer an account to postpaid it loses the whole balance. So you do want to use it up.

I figure that most of us intend to donate to charities at least a few times a year anyway, so if you find on the list an organization you would typically want to donate to, it's a win-win.

Thank you. If I can't move it to my wife's account, this would be the next best thing.

I've tried and the charity codes won't work with paytogo. Only way I know to use balance besides calls and texts is to buy MP3s and stuff from the T-Mobile site.

Trade phones or SIM cards with her and let her use up the minutes?

Yeah she would have your phone number and you would have hers but just give her contacts the other number and the same for your contacts.
Maybe set the numbers up with a Google voice number or something.
Should be easy enough for her to let her contacts know of a different phone number to contact her at.

Yeah, I've thought of that, but I don't think she will really want to give a new # to her friends, and then when you blows thru those minutes, we get a new phone which we may or may not be able to port her new (my old) # to. All for a $170 of unused minutes. I was hoping for a better solution. I could buy her more minutes and try to even things up, but I just don't use many minutes. Any other ideas appreciated!

Maybe put her on the $2 a day plan with unlimited talk, text and 2G data.
She doesn't actually have to use the data, but for $2 a day she can talk as much as she likes and text to her hearts content.

Hmmm ... why not move her onto a "regular plan" when her balance runs out ... and make it a "family plan" (later) when your balance runs out?
