So, if I had a friend activate a phone for me in say, California, then
used my phone in Utah (where I live), on a national plan, could I get
away with that?

I had an ATT national plan once with a service address ( A branch
office)in one market and a billing address in another place ( the main
office) where they did not have service. It was even legal under their
terms and it was a PITA. They kept trying to change the service address
into the billing address and disconnecting the service because the
billing address was not in a service area.

ISTR there is a clause in the Cingular national plans which says
something like they can terminate you if more than 50% of your use is
outside your home area.

My friend has a Cingular National plan outside of a Cingular native area,
when I pointed this out to him he called CS and was told that anywhere he
got service was his home calling area, and that this doesn't affect him as
he gets a signal (he roams on Centennial Wireless in Mid-Michigan if you're
wondering and probably makes fewer than 10 minutes of his 300+ minutes
used/month outside of this area every month.) He's had the plan for about
15 months and nothing has ever been said to him.

If you pay your bill, why would they care? Hmm? Think about it.
