Phone a Friend (or Rather, Customer Service): If you're more of a traditionalist (or maybe a bit tech-averse), you can always call the friendly folks at I-PASS customer service at 1-800-UC-IPASS (1-800-824-7277). They'll be happy to answer your burning balance question and regale you with tales of toll booths past (probably not, but hey, you never know!).
