Although I'm not yet as knowledgeable about the details as I'll need to be, to be able to use my 'moko for this purpose is why I'm here. I have tmobile's @Home service and I'm currently using that sim on the FR ( the old Nokia 6086 with its BL-5C battery is in standby as an emergency battery charger ;-) ).
I'll begin to pursue this via the provided links in my copious spare time. Anyone interested in an ongoing dialog let me know.
