T-Mobile Flex Pay

[QueBert]

I use AT&T Pay As You Go right now, and I'm not thrilled with it, I would go with T-Mobile's pre-paid but it doesn't look to offer a N&W add on. I stumbled upon the Flex Pay today seems very good. I already have a GSM phone so I was wondering if I can just switch it over? It's an Unlocked Ericsson w810i trying to sign up on TMobile.com they're tying to get me to buy a phone at full retail. It says this is required, but if I was to take my phone to a Tmobile store would they allow me to sign up and port my number over?

I don't want to be in contract and I don't really want to do expensive pre-paid anymore.

I am sorry if this is a stupid question but what does N&W add on mean?

Nights & Weekends, which is a pretty weird way of having a pre-paid cell. It looks like flex pay is basically paying your plan before the month instead of after. I'm guessing if you reach your limit on minutes you can't use the phone anymore until you pay extra.

Either way, you should be able to switch it over fine, but maybe they won't let you have flex pay unless you buy a phone? That would be weird.
