They do have this one guys. Don't know if it will expire if you don't use it...... http://www.myworldphone.com/itemdesc...SIM-PREP-AT100

Since I only use my SIM card whenever Verizon has no signal, this is what I use and it seems fairly cheap. I bought mine at a Best Buy:

Correct, you will only ever get edge and not 3g which makes using the sim for data pretty discouraging. The SIM-for-emergency calling is pretty moot if you live in a metro area like me. If Sprint has no service, I end up roaming to the Big V. I have yet to ever experience true "No service". Maybe on the subway, but I haven't taken that since it cost $1.50 (NYC people know how long ago that was, lol).

I want to unlock the feature primarily to consolidate phones. I have second line for work that uses T-Mobile. Not having to carry around 2 phones would be great. I realize that you can't be on both gsm and cdma simultaneously, but since I have my personal phone turned off during the day anyway it wouldn't make a diff to me. Swap to gsm when the workday starts and swap back to cdma at quitting time. One phone, two birds. useewutididthere? =P

I ended up buying this one. It claims to give access to both Tmobile and AT&T towers...rates are decent for very seldom use. The minutes expire in 9 months if you dont:
a.) Use some minutes or send a text
b.) Recharge your minutes

From what I could tell doing one of those two things resets the 9 month counter...that means this $19 SIM could last $19.00/0.15 * 9 months if you send a text message every 9 months, this card would last 95 years!

Also, use coupon code frommers01 for 15% off which is $2.18 on a $19 card. My total after shipping was $25.15

Honestly, I would be willing to pay like 20-25 cents per minute maybe more for a card of minutes that didnt expire. I think someone said AT&T has a prepaid plan where you can buy a $100 card and it wont expire for a year, which might be our best option, that works out to:
$8.33 per month...

that would be exactly what i'd be looking for.

Anybody had trouble getting a GoPhone SIM to work in the Rhodium_W ??? Mine doesn't even see the sim...

T-mobile prepaid is $100 for 1000 mins and dont expire for 1 yr.

Best deal is SERO.
