Note that this is specific to the T-Mobile G1 image. An ADP1 build allows you to skip the activation and later do it once WiFi is enabled. After the phone is activated, you can remove the SIM card and it will boot properly (you can still use WiFi). You can also replace the SIM Card with a voice-only one too, which will allow you to make phone calls and have a *much* better battery life (think several days) since the 3G standby radio activity is what's killing it on these "modern" phones. > And if so, what happens when the SIM's month runs out? > > The SIM itself doesn't know about dates.
