Pre-paid SIM question.
On EBay is see T-Mobil pre-paid activated SIMs selling for $6. 145 minutes with 30 to 60 days of service. Will they work in any unlocked GSM phone:question:

Yes it will. I'm using one now in a V190 unlocked Cingular phone. The SIM came from eBay also.

Can you add air time to the phone just by buying cards and T-Mobil will have no personal information?

If you have an unlocked GSM phone, you can buy those SIMs off ebay and just use them up till they're empty, and NEVER buy refill cards. In that circumstance, the only person who would have a clue who you were would be the person who sold you the SIMs. And if you had them shipped to an anonymous address using a fake name, even they wouldn't have to know.

What's with all the chatter on personal information? It's a PP account, if I'm as concerned about personal information as some people seem to be, I would go and get a postpaid account that can only be accessed by my SS number.
But to answer your question Yes, you can add airtime right from the mobile handset itself by going through TZones, no personal information needed. Once there select the option to add airtime and enter your pin code. You will receive a text message confirming that the airtime has been added and when the airtime expires.

The whole point to these exercises is that some people don't want their SS number loose in the world, let alone attached to a record of everybody they've ever called or received calls from, or GPS tracking of where they've been. Anonymous prepaid has its place in life, lol! (And no, I'm not being chased by any three-letter agencies, AFAIK!)

In all my years of owning a post paid phone I've never had an issue with it, but I had Verizon as my carrier. I think there was a problem once with one of the carriers and a breach with SS numbers.

The guy selling SIMs may know the address it was sent to but there is no way it can be attached to me personally.

I just don't want some clown to be able to find out who or what I call, where I go or when I go.

I am doing nothing wrong it's just not some piss ant cell phone companies business.

There are three certainties regarding paranoia:

1) A little paranoia is very healthy for any woman.

2) Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you.

3) It's not paranoia if they really are out to get you.
