Hi guys,

I currently have a T-Mobile to go sim card with a 407 area code (Kissimmee FL) which I use when I go to the States.

I'm going to let a family member take this sim card with them when they go to the states next month. They'll visit Los Angeles, Hawaii, San Fransisco and Las Vegas before returning home.

Then as they come back, I'll be going to Los Angeles for a week.

Firstly, will the T-Mobile to go service work in all the places I named above, I assume it'll be fine in CA but I wondered about Hawaii, with it being so far off the coast of mainland USA, are there any extra charges incured by using the T-Mobile to go service there?

Finally, the area code. Does it make any difference that the phone will have a FL area code when using it in CA? Will there be any domestic roaming costs? Will I still have the same level of service? What dis-advantages are there to having a non local area code? The reason I'm asking was that if there would be a problem, I figured I'd call T-Mobile and change the area code to one that corresponds with Los Angeles.
