here in pakistan, i can get a SIM for $3. cheapest nokia is about $15. an ISDN BRI costs about $8/month. | |||

i recall being in canada last year, and heading to the mall to get a rogers SIM. they offered me a subsidized handset on contract, and i said no, i wanted an unlocked phone that i could take back to Dubai with me. | |||
the guy looked shocked, and then whispered to me that they don't sell unlocked phones but he knew someone who did. | |||
