Default T-Mobile quick number for minutes remaining

Which is the quick number to call for minutes remaining on a prepaid
account?

*3279 gives the balance in Dollars.

#999# does give both Dollars and minutes. But in text.

I wanted to know what number, if any, gives minutes remaining in voice.

TIA

"611" does it for postpaid accounts so might
be worth a try.

#646# (#MIN#) gives you minutes of use on postpaid. You might try it
on your prepaid phone and see if it tells you what you need to know.

Entering #646# on a prepaid phone tells you to enter #999# instead, which
is the prepaid equivalent of #646#...

*8646 (*ToGo), but it's not "quick"- you have to slog through a bunch of
voice-prompt menus.

Key *3279 or *8646 when the service answers (after "por servicio en
Español pression el numeró 2") key 3, then 1. Balance will be given
first in number of "nationwide" minutes. If you wish to know the
dollar amount in the account then press 1..

You can also get balance and expiration by accessing T-Zones and
choose the my account link which will show the balance in minutes and
in dollars as well as the expiration date.

Using 611 to get prepaid account information through customer care
will only delay your call as you'll be transferred to prepaid customer
care where you'll have to enter your phone number (confirm) and do the
two key presses that you would have to do by calling the correct
number (*3279 or *8646 which reaches the same place. *3279 *EASY is
the old number for "Easy Speak" where *8646 *TOGO is the number for
the T-Mobile To Go service. Either of these two numbers are
specifically for the prepaid service. #999# is the short code for
prepaid balance. #646# does not work and only directs you to key
#999#.

The T-Zones account balance feature is absolutely worthless. It's been
nearly a month since I added a $10 card to my account and rolled my
minutes over for another year and it's still not updated. Their web page
(https://my.t-mobile.com/) is at least accurate.
