Sigh, T-Mobile. There is much complaining in my circles about this new pricing, as AT&T is expensive and can be congested sometimes, when T-Mobile gives only 90 day expiry on their now expensive cards. But even now AT&T is competitive if you only need a little data, when accounting the cost of starter packs.

One possible workaround. The rumour is that actually it's possible to re-use expired T-Mobile SIM cards. One simply needs buy fresh "activation codes" on eBay for $1-$2 which arrive from the seller in form of email, then activate as if the SIM is new. This would certainly add value to these SIM for repeat but short term visitors. But I've not checked this myself. So I can't testify to this method.
