lsbcal,
1) No roaming charges on prepaid at T-Mobile
2) Ordered online (Prepaid phones: Pay As You Go from T-Mobile) but you could probably set up prepaid at one of their stores. Online they often have specials with free refill cards -- I ordered a Motorola flip phone for $19.95 and got a free $25 refill card. They usually get the phone to you the next day if ordered online.
3) This would depend on the phone/battery -- the phones are the same as you would use with a typical cell plan. Depending on use and signal strength, my phone usually only needs to be charged every 3-4 days.
4) I am not sure that T-Mobile coverage is quite as good as Verizon but I have had no issues in my travels around the country.
I have had the prepaid phone for 18 months or so and have been satisfied. I use it for my long distance calls and usually buy the 1000 minute refills for $88-$90 at callingmart. Most folks that use as much as 300-400 minutes a month would save money with prepaid since even most basic cell plans are around $45 with all fees/taxes.
