Oh, okay. I stopped reading when the title of the first Google result was
something about soldering on a JTAG connector.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh... sorry, I'm a bit dense.

They said it would be at least $85 by the time I paid the activation charge
and account fees and bought any air time. Then the proceeded to try to sell
me on some promotion they're running where I'd get a whole new pre-paid phone
for $99. Everyone wants to sell you a new phone. Even if it's cheaper, it
just seems wasteful to me when I already have two perfectly good phones, one
of which isn't doing anything at all. I guess I'm not much for the concept of
"disposable electronics".
