Thanks for the info. How is the "Phone House"? Are they reputable? I'm always a bit reluctant to part with passport data (with all the horror stories about people on the no-fly lists, etc.). It's a bit annoying how more and more countries require tax IDs to get SIM cards. Ostensibly it's to prevent terrorism, but I don't see how that really helps.

In any case, too bad more countries aren't like the UK, where I picked up a SIM card from a vending machine at Heathrow, or even here in the US, where I can get a prepaid AT&T or T-Mobile SIM card from any Target or Wal-Mart (or company store).
