Does anyone know a reason why I can't use one of those "checks" I got
with the card to pay off the phone bill or minimum balance?

[Moderator's Note: Using 'one of those checks you got with the card'
would of course merely roll the balance, not pay it off ... and I
think if you read the fine print you will see they do not accept those
"checks" to pay their own bill. Try sending them one in the remittance
envelope and see what happens. You will probably get a snotty letter
back and have your account sent to Collections.
