Do I get a PIN with this?

No. The funds are redeemed directly to the T-Mobile number you enter and verify, so there is no code to save or type later.

Can I use it on a T-Mobile postpaid account?

It is a T-Mobile prepaid top up. It is meant for prepaid accounts, not postpaid lines.

Can I buy it for someone else?

Only if you enter their T-Mobile prepaid number at checkout. The funds go to that account, and there is no PIN to hand over.

What happens if I enter the wrong number?

The funds are applied to the number you entered and verified, so check it carefully before confirming. A wrong number sends the money to that account.

Does it add a plan or just balance?

It can add a plan or add minutes to the account, depending on what the prepaid account needs at the time.

Do I need a T-Mobile phone to use it?

You need an active T-Mobile prepaid account and its number. The phone itself can be any compatible device.

Our take on the T-Mobile Prepaid $15 Direct Top Up

This is a direct refill for a T-Mobile prepaid account, not a phone or a SIM. You enter and verify your T-Mobile number and the funds land on the account, so there is no PIN to type in later. It suits existing T-Mobile prepaid customers who want to add money to their balance or renew a plan without buying a card. Against prepaid refill cards, the appeal is the missing step: nothing to scratch off or key in, and no card to lose. Buyers rate it 4.5 out of 5 across 367 ratings.
