Steve,
Nice write-up, thanks.
I had bought one of those cards from ebay too. But, just a warning to
others -- this was back when Tmobile did not require a data plan. I used to
use it, and doing so only used my voice minutes. It's been a while since I
tried, but I believe I stopped because a data plan is now required. Kinda
annoying, if I want to chew up my limited minutes, why not let me?
