> I've had the same experience. A $10 "pay as you go" phone $10? Really? Which one and where? I see $20++ current models often, and some $15 tmo nokia 1208's still on clearance.
> works wonders for this. Sure, unless you: - Don't want to spend money. - Don't feel like giving away your location to cell towers and databases. - Want to create more than one email account... because they'd all tie back to that phone and appear to google as related. - Don't want to give up your voiceprint, credit card, address, ssn, etc if it's required to activate cell. - Don't want to buy one phone per google account. - Don't want multiple new accounts popping up in say Dallas, TX that may or may not have your lingual, contact and click patterns. - Etc, etc. Google just doesn't seem to be a cool company in general anymore. And if they've enabled SMS requirement for regular would be users non-tor internet connection, what a huge foot shooting that would be.
