Yes and no. You can use any phone on T-Mobile as long as the phone meets 3 requirements.
1. Uses a sim card
2. Supports US frequencies. (850, 1900)
3. Is NOT locked to another carrier.
If you buy a phone from AT&T it will not work on T-Mobile without being unlocked. There are many ways to do this but most carry some risk of "bricking" your phone. Which is to say it becomes totally unusable. Instead try to find unlocked phones online or in local phone shops. Once you have that just pop in your SIM and you're set.

If you buy a phone from tmobile and already have a tmobile phone do you have to pay for the contract and the sim?
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?

What if your daughter lost her tmobile phone Can you buy a new sim card and put it in an old tmobile phone but still keep her number for the lost phone?
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.
