Hola Sjoerd,
The credit cards don't work on the web sight, but they do work if you dial 611 and pay through that service. My guess is that the 3rd party method they are using to validate credit cards on the web sight may not be in the USA and is obviously flawed. They seem to handle prepaid through the Philippines - probably for cheap labor, and those folks don't seem to be up to par with technical things. I guess you get what you pay for. Regardless of that I've been paying through 611 since I posted that original message and that works for me. I imagine 611 IS in the USA and is using a mechanism to validate the purchase that is in this country and is up to date. T-Mobile prepaid is the red headed step child of that company and they really could care less about good service as long as it makes them a buck or two at the end of the day - pretty typical for most companies these days, especially telecom. Human greed, and selfishness will be the end of all of us.
Kind regards,
