You would have to buy the phone at the full price unlocked I believe.

lol do you have a prepaid plan already? if so try it... for testing purposes try using another phone with that prepaid plan...

my gut says no because i think the plan+phone works different than a contract...

My phone is Unlocked and i do have a prepaid sidekick plan, it sees the connection but it give me a basic tmobile wap site when i try to use the web and nothing else works. i guess they're doing some IMEI scanning. supposedly this plan will only work if you have a sidekick

As a short google search would have immediately revealed, T-mo US blocked non-sidekick phones on the sidekick plan some time last Summer (i.e. a decade ago).
