annonomous sim cards

~via BB (wap.rabroad.com)~ it really doesn't make sense that you could use the internet and not be able to use the phone. You have to have a phone number to get on the network. Sounds very illegal.

~via BB (wap.rabroad.com)~I would probably have to agree with what others are saying here about this being less than legal, and similar to the sat tv card "scam" that I amfamiliar with. But, I do know that in Europe "throw-away" sim cards are popular and legal. Over there they are basically the equivalent of pay-as-you-go cell phones here in the US. Because in Europe everyone is on GSM, people can buy one phone and just buy a new sim, regardless of carrier, when the other one runs out of service, but I have never heard of anything similar in the US. Personally, I would ask some questions of the guy you get these from and if you decide to continue using these SIM cards realize that you may be taking a big risk that could possibly end up costing you more money in fines than you are saving presently. Please post back with any info you find out as we all seem to be curious and somewhat uninformed about this topic.

I don't think this guy is in the US. Isn't Rogers a Canadian carrier? They may be disposable SIM cards, like in Europe. Also, you don't have to have phone service to use the internet on a BlackBerry. With Nextel, you have to have a data plan, but a voice plan is separate and optional.
