A Two-Cent Mystery
I have a talk and text 100 mobile plan. I topped up my account with $100 before my plan was coming due for renewal. The balance showed the $100 at first, however, when I tried to make a phone call ...
I had something similar happening when I first started doing the T&T 100 plan. It was taking a cent or two off occasionally (so I also ended up with a small useless balance carrying over). I think it was perhaps happening when I turned the phone on (after being totally off). It seems this is a data charge - perhaps it does some check of the network which uses a tiny bit of data. I asked them to turn off the data on my phone plan, and I have not had these little charges since then. Only works if you want NO data, of course - I only do txt and voice (and very little of that) on that phone. They also make the top up amounts so that if you do less than $100 it expires before the year is up - you can't just fill it up to $100 balance when renewal time comes around, you have to add $100 so you will get that $9.98 riding along all year (unless you make some long distance calls or something)
