Last time I checked T-Mobile doesn't offer service in NC. Or to be more specific, T-Mobile doesn't offer NC phone numbers. It uses GSM and can roam quite easily in AT&T's territory, however. If you don't mind having an out-of-state number you may be fine.

Personally, I use a MNVO called Net10, which uses AT&T's network. I like the pay-as-you-go plan as I'm not a heavy mobile user. I don't know how much info Net10 shares with AT&T. As you can buy the phone with cash from most retailers, it seems a good choice for those who value their privacy.

You can read about my experience with Net10 here:

I think that leaves just T-Mobile.  The coverage map on their web site
shows fairly weak service in the triangle.  I'd like to find out if it's
better than it looks...  Or if T-Mobile has also been making inroads on
the privacy of their customer base.
