Hmmm! Before going to the US, I looked at AT&T's and T-Mobile
USA's
websites. I didn't find anything like that on the AT&T site (Don't
get
me started on AT&T sites.), and the T-Mobile USA site specifically
said
that you could get SIM-only only via their website (and because that
required a US ship-to address, that was no option (not counting the
poorer (than AT&T) coverage)).

So now I'm the proud owner of a beautiful, but totally useless
(outside the US), AT&T GoPhone Nokia 2610 phone [1]. It cost me all
of
US$ 19.99 (without tax, mind you (Don't get me started on the
without-tax thingie.)), so I'm not complaining. *And* it includes a
charger
which is 110-240VAC (not 240VAC-only), so I can use it everywhere for
all my Nokia phones (albeit with plug-adapters, which are needed
anyway)!
I use an unlocked Nokia.
and I've never had any trouble in Canada buying a Fido SIM card.

Very interesting, but I wasn't and we weren't talking about Canada,
was I / were we!? :-)

It's North America, but if the information is uninteresting, feel free
to ignore it.

I think the Canucks (sp?) would probably take offense at the "North
America" classification! :-)

I just happen to BE a Canadian who does NOT take offense at the term "North
America".
You surly, thin-skinned, America-phobic European assholes should grow some
thicker
skins to match your thick skulls. If you don't like "North American"
culture, then stay the ****
out of this newsgroup or stay in some limp-wristed Euro group. Or, simply,
FOAD. Anyone with any
brains moved from Europe a LONG time ago.






But seriously, please feel free to post anything you like or/and to
ignore me. After all, this is Usenet, isn't it, so anything goes. I just
thought it was funny that you responded to a posting with subject "...
US ..." and splattered all over with "US[A]" this, "US[A]" that, but gave
a
non-US related response. But then again, we Dutch are easily pleased.
