“What is the difference in the $45 card I had to buy to initially for my new phone vs. the $35 TOP-UP Card ? I bought my phone last month at Best Buy as well as the $45 card to activate my new phone was advised I had to buy the $45 card. I have so many unused minutes, including talk, data, etc. What is the difference in the $45 card vs the $35 TOP UP Card becase my 30 days are now expired and time to buy a new prepaid card. Really need a $20 card but they don't offer one.”

The difference is the amount of data you receive. I just did a little checking because I too was confused. The $35 card gives you 1G of data and that is WAY MORE than I could ever use in a month. If you just use your phone to call/text and check email all you need is the $35 card going forward. Unfortunately this is the cheapest card offered through Sprint. When I ordered my Sprint phone the $10 Up Card popped up suggesting I should order that too. What I didn't realize is this is just a data upgrade; now I have to purchase the $35 card to actually use the phone. Very confusing. There are other carriers out their offering what you need. Sprint may not be the best choice but now you're stuck because you have their phone (unless it's an Unlocked Phone (and I doubt it). Unlocked means the phone is specific to Sprint.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I bought mine two months ago and am using the $45 unlimited talk and text, and 1 gig of data. As I understand it, the top up cards are only used for additional data if I exceed the 1 gig. The services renews for $45 per month.
