Step 1, buy T-Mobile PAYG SIM

Posted By Corey on January 8th, 2006

On Friday whilst filling a very strange craving for some fried chicken, sadly at Claim Jumpers, I stopped by T-Mobile to pick up a Pay-As-You-Go SIM card for my Nokia 6610. I sold the Audiovox SMT5600 to my sister’s boyfriend for $150 so that’s not bad. So before the chicken and just after I did a double take of what was a very attractive red headed girl in American Eagle Outfitters I made my way to the T-Mobile shop in the Redmond Town Center. Talked to this guy Alan who reminded me of someone else. Chatted with the other girl there as well, told him exactly what I wanted and he knew exactly what I was talking about. It took about 3 minutes and then he handed me the new SIM and some information with a tiny credit card bill to sign (no contract). That was it.

The new SIM cost me $50. Which includes 150 minutes which expire in two months. On the 12th when my Cingular torture expires I’ll call up T-Mobile and have them move my existing number over ontop of the PAYG temporary number which I’m not really using.

It’s going to feel fantastic calling up Cingular on the 12th and telling them to piss off because they’re totally ripping me off. I can’t wait.
