Purchasing t-mbile plan with billing address outside coverage help

Hi,

I tried to buy t-mobile cell phones from amazon, and a1 wireless etc. My problem is that where I live and where my billing address's zip code is there's no t-mobile coverage. Only NPI. But I would use the phones in t-mobile area (commuting). Is there any way to get the deals offered by amazon and the others with these conditions?
Please, help.
Thanks
Andrew

the question is:
are you 100% sure you can get decent reception from T?
if it's yes, try to use an alternative zip
probably your zip is not in T's database

well, where I live I get NPI reception. So, my t-mobile phone would work here (my prepaid t-mobile does). And I would mostly use my phone in true t-mobile area. When I selected the plan at amazon I did put in a t-mobile zip, but since my billing zip is not in t-mobile coverage it won't let me go on. And with my billing zip I can't even select a plan.

What if you use your work address or a friend's and then change it after the first month?

Thanks for your inputs. Yeah, I was thinking about asking someone to get the phones for me then change them for my cc.
NPI is a Carrier here in Michigan. They have some roaming agreement with T-mobile. Because of stupid NPI t-mobile will never have its own service here.
