Yes, I have prepaid with T-Mobile as well and if you stay near the major cities you should have no problems.
There customer service is also very good . In fact in a recent Consumer Reports survey they are second only to Verizon Wireless. You can't go wrong on there prepaid price as well 1000 minutes good for 365 days . That makes for about 83 minutes a month for 12 months . That will include caller ID voicemail ect. ect. Coverage area is pretty good as well [National] I've had good luck with it.

I've been looking to get a phone for convenience. I'm not one who chats on the phone all the time. I was about to buy a phone from Virgin Mobile, but I just saw the T-Mobile To Go rates here,
http://www.t-mobile.com/prepaid/rates.asp
One option T-Mobile has is: $100 refill card gets 1000 Whenever Minutes and its Expiration is 365 days.
Isn't that better than all the other prepaid plans? Am I doing my "math" right?
Also I've compared several plans. Aren't the features like voicemail, caller ID, text message, and Roaming the same on Boost, Virgin, T-Mobile, and etc prepaid plans?
Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
