I've worked for T-Mobile for two years, so I can tell you everything and then some about their prepaid stuff. Disclaimer: I work for T-Mobile.
One good option is to pick up a prepaid kit and drop $100 on a single refill (NOT two $50 refills). This gives you 1000 minutes at $0.10/min, and it's good for a year. Any other refills (even $10 for 35 minutes) extends expiration by a year once you've put a total of $100 down. (If you work up to $100 in smaller increments, like $25 at a time, the one-year-expiration doesn't kick in until you add a refill AFTER hitting the $100 threshold. With a straight $100 in one shot it's instant.)
Of course, coverage may vary. http://www.t-mobile.com/coverage and be sure to click the "Prepaid and FlexPay coverage map" link to get the right map.
