I'm not saying 'forget about it' from websites. I'm saying becareful, don't get scammed. You don't need to call tmobile to get specific. You need a UNLOCKED phone, then call tmobile and get connected.
You can already buy an unlocked phone. Like my benefits of ebay and craiglist stated.
Be bold, find someone on craiglist and ask them if they are patient while you get it connected to tmobile in front of them.
