   It's possible, but I find it fairly unlikely, since the fraction of   
   bandwidth that I use cost nothing to T-Mobile to keep on-line.  Someone   
   I know who works for T-Mobile told me recently that all of these old   
   Legacy Gold plans were migrated to the new billing system several months   
   ago, so hopefully they will be around to stay.  I noticed when the   
   migration happened, the automated system (when you dial 611) changed,   
   and it no longer tells me the date my plan expires -- only the minutes   
   remaining for how much I've paid.   
      
   Believe it or not, people sell these plans, the SIM card to go into your   
   phone, and the number attached to it on eBay for big bucks...
