Questions about those "free" $25 T-Mobile refill cards

[quote nwyaker]I used a free refill card from another TMobile phone deal to add minutes to my Moto V195 - no problem. After 90 days I also got an unlock code from TMobile. I like the V195 - no frills, good reception, great battery life, USB charging.
You've had better luck than me

I've tried every time I got a new phone and was always denied.

I think it even says so on the card.
