<T-Mobile does not allow off network roaming> Thanks for telling me that! I didn't read the small print.
Mary - I am very "frugal" and Matthew is correct - when you buy those cheap T-Mo prepaid sim cards off eBay they are already activated with a phone number and generally you cannot change it (but sometimes you can) - thus it would be a long distance call from a phone other than cell to that CA number. Unlocking is making a phone work with T-Mo that was originally a Cingular or AT&T phone. It's easy to do on a Nokia 3595 but I have never done it on other phones. But if you want to maintain the same local phone number my idea of buying a prepaid sim is not for you. Of course since the CA phone number is long distance you could have family members call you and hang up - then you could just call them back by checking your caller id missed calls (let's face it I'm cheap).
