Sidekick

As a T-Mobile Sidekick customer, you can refill your account in the same way as other Pay in Advance customers.

Note: Danger Sidekicks can only refill for voice and text usage (no data). If you have the new Android Sidekick model, you can refill for voice, text and data usage.

Sidekick users can refill the account via the web browser on the Sidekick device (when applicable). However, if data services are suspended due to a low balance, the account cannot be refilled from the device because data service will not be available.

To refill an account on your Sidekick device, follow these steps:

1. Launch the web browser on the Sidekick.
2. Select the T-Mobile Prepaid link.
3. Select Refill your T-Mobile Prepaid Account.
4. The T-Mobile Prepaid account window appears. Enter your Mobile number and Password, and then click GO.
5. The account balance is displayed. Enter the Recharge code and then click GO.
