No if you buy the phone straight, with no service just the phone. But if you do that you gonna have to pay full price for the phone so depending on the type of phone it could be very expensive. When you sign a contract you don't pay full price for the phone. Do you want an extra phone to swap sim cards like I do?
When you buy a tmobile phone it camoes with a sim card. If you already have a tmobile phone and break it you can buy a pre-paid phone and put your old sim card in it
You can do this as long as the old phone works with the tMobile network (or is unlocked to work on both AT&T and tMobile). But you need to call tMobile to have them active the new SIM chip. Basically, they need to connect your daughter as a customer to the new SIM. You should be able to take your old phone into any tMobile store and they should do this for you. Cannot say if they will charge you a small activation fee but it should not require another 2 year contract. They may try to push a new phone on you for free or small price so they can lock you into a new 2 year plan.

It is up to you. A contract means you can get the phone for free, and get a new one when the contract renews. Non contract is when you have to buy the phone up front and put a PAYG sim in it
For many, a Tmobile cell phone may not have ever been something that they've considered buying. Tmobile is, after all, mostly involved in European markets and has never been very heavily entrenched in the United States. Even though it hasn't had a huge presence, it has been here for years. Now, with the recent merger between Tmobile and ATT, it has never been a better time to buy a Tmobile cell phone. This is due primarily to the fact that Tmobile will now run off of the ATT network, which is widely touted as being the largest network in the country.
No, you don't need a contract. You can get a pre-paid phone which means no contract/monthly phone bill, but it depends what you mean by "getting a phone". If you already have a contract and just need a new phone than u can just buy a phone but you will have to pay full price for it unless you have upgrades. If you're a new client than yes you would either have to sign a contract or you could just get a pre-paid phone.
You can buy a good 4g phone for your friend's birthday gift at any tmobile dealership or online at ebay.com
You going to sign a contract or no contract? For a contract to get your phone cheaper you will have to do a credit check.
Yes
yep
Yes, Tmobile does offer prepaid plans with the sidekick. You would have to buy the phone outright than set it up on the prepaid plan.
You go to RadioShack, or one of the following merchant websites, amazon and eBay to buy a tmobile phone, all the choices have these phones at a discount price.
