It’s been a while since we’ve gotten any news regarding Mobile Money, but that’s changing today.
T-Mobile is alerting T-Mobile Visa Prepaid Card users that, starting April 11, they’ll no longer be able to load their cards up at T-Mo retail stores. T-Mobile confirmed to me that this is the case. The email explains that “New card purchases after March 11th and any reloads attempted after April 11th, at T-Mobile retail locations, will not be accepted by the T-Mobile agent.”
T-Mobile Card users can still reload by going to other shops that sell Reloadit packs. You can find a list of those stores here. T-Mobile also notes that if you’ve got a recurring direct deposit on your account, they’ll remain active for now.
Finally, T-Mobile says “there will be more updates in April,” so T-Mobile Card owners should stay tuned. While we wait to hear more, you can check out the full text of the email going out to T-Mobile Card users below.
