(keitai-l) Re: Saturation reached? Keitai shops close...

i would have thought not... but... i'm sure you could dig out the old phone
couplers (if you have seen the film wargames!)

but then the lines may be deactivated for data usage, but then thats
unlikely. Many gsm networks in europe blocked data access from numbers
unless you called them and asked for it to be activated but due to common
use of data, virtually all phones are data available when you buy.

I do not see why not a phone coupler would not work

any ideas

cb,

Do these disposables have any connectivity to a computer?  I wonder if
someone could hack them to get an anonymous dialup connection to the net.
