AT&T will sell you just a SIM card - five American dollars, my friend!

I guess this is the simplest possible route short of getting a candy cell phone and pretending it’s real. AT&T is sending out just SIM cards for you to put into your already-unlocked or AT&T-restricted phones. You pay them five bucks and sign up for a contract (natch) and you get a tiny piece of plastic in the mail that tells the towers “yo, this phone’s AT&T, dig” or something similarly anachronistic (SIM cards use dated slang). Not exactly new - but now you can do it online.

Walk into an AT&T store and ask for a SIM card. The teenager behind the counter will open up a case of a few thousand and hand you one. He will then return to talking to his pretend girlfriend. The only payment required is to have to talk to a teenager which is a lot like reading the content from this blog.

I was laughing at your post until I realized it is 110% accurate. So sad [the part about the teenager at the counter.]

Huh? A contract required when I bring my own booze to the party, so to speak. AT&T is doing that? Why would I do that?
Seeing how many people don’t like AT&T already and avoided the iPhone because AT&T was the exclusive carrier, is AT&T trying to attract customers with this?
Meh… makes no sense. But I HATE AT&T, since our breakup about four years ago. So I may not be looking objectively at the concept. Don’t think so, whatever.
