This response had me confused for a while, because I thought you thought I'd transferred the original SIM.
I hadn't.
Betty has two phones, two SIMs, each of which arrived with the phone.
It's the first SIM - in the dead phone - that confuses me.
If I understand you, we toss that original SIM and replace it with a PAYG SIM from the local shopping mall or Dollar Store.
I also understand the tracking business.
Eleven years ago I predicted that by 2010 people would begin implanting phone-chips in their heads so that one no longer needed to carry a hand-held device.
I was wrong.
Nonetheless, it supports the practice of one-number one person.
There will only be one of me wandering the planet, so there will be only one unique identifier of me wandering the planet.
That unique identifier could be the cell chip number implanted in my skull.
Of course Bill Gates and Justin Beiber would swank about with two or more chips each ....
