How to pay someone else’s T-Mobile phone bill

If you can pay someone else’s phone bill, you would be able to access her account using her name and passcode or PIN. However, paying a bill over your phone will cost you a fee of $8 and if you aren’t specifically named, you’re not allowed to perform any action that will create a charge on the bill.

Depending on the person’s carrier, there are different steps you can follow so you may or may not need their personal info or passcode.You can pay most postpaid bills at a carrier store with very little info. Most cell phone companies provide a direct pay contact number where you only need a cell number and credit card for you to pay someone’s bill. It’s a bit harder if you’re paying someone’s bill anonymously, especially if it’s prepaid. You might not have the information required to make a direct payment to the proper end, but you first need to at least determine which provider or carrier it is.
