Refill T-mobile flex account via a text message

How do i refill my tmobile account through a text?

To refill a t-mobile flex account using a text message or SMS without having to log into T-mobile’s site, you can directly send a text to 7777. The body of the message needs to contain the amount (in dollars) you want to credit to your account followed by the last 4 digits of the credit/debit card that you’ve used (last? or) atleast once online to refill that same number’s account in the past.

For example, if my credit card number is 1234 5566 1234 5678, and I want to add $10 to my T-mobile flex account using a text message I should send the following sms to 7777:

10 5678

You should receive a text reply from T-mobile (456) confirming the transaction right away.

Ascent - Commemorating Shuttle

12-20-2010 12-52-34 AM 

To achieve orbit, the space shuttle must accelerate from zero to a speed of almost 28,968 kilometers per hour (18,000 miles per hour), a speed nine times as fast as the average rifle bullet. It takes over a million moving parts, weighing in over 4.5million pounds to work in perfect synchronization to put this marvel into orbit:

This compilation of film and video presents the best of the best ground-based Shuttle motion imagery from STS-114, STS-117, and STS-124 missions. Rendered in the highest definition possible, this production is a tribute to the dozens of men and women of the Shuttle imaging team and the 30yrs of achievement of the Space Shuttle Program.

Don’t miss the awesome detail on some of these clips- the “docucam” for documentaries and that awesome shot of the sun behind the SRBs @ 34:45- amazing photography. I could watch this for hours. :-p

Must watch if you are a shuttle-head: Worth every minute of the 45minute collection.
