what t-mobile had (and still has) is a month to month plan where you
pay for what you use, with $10 giving 1000 minutes (not 30 minutes),
which is a rate of 10c/minute.

there is no rollover, as there is no set monthly minutes to roll over.
there is also no data. 

you have to continually fund it, otherwise the account expires. refills
can be any amount ($10 minimum), with a $10 refill normally expiring in
90 days and $100 expiring in a year, but once you've spent $100, *any*
refill expires in a year.

the only change in their plan is that there is now a $3/mo minimum to
cut down on those who keep the plan and never use it.
