I want a phone from t-mobile but their coverage dosent cover my area but my area is a roaming area. I was wondering could I get a sidekick with a plan that dosent charge for roaming could I get one? If i can I want to buy it online but when i out in my area code it says that it dosent cover my area. do I just put in the closest zip code that works?

If your billing address isn't inside a coverage area, then you will be unable to sign up. Tmobile also reserves the right to terminate your account for roaming too much of the time.

sort of stupid, they still make money on it even though they have to pay to roaming partner.

It isn't stupid, its a good business practice. The agreements they have only cover people who roam up to 50% of the time, after that tmo begins to pay more. Once you roam a lot, their profit margin shrinks, and they begin to lose money.

Hmm. In that case you're right.  I'm sorry didn't know how the agreement works here.
