eBay T-Mobile SIM cards

Here are the reasons I don't think this is even worth it:

1. hassle of constantly buying SIM cards on eBay
2. hassle of moving my number from SIM card to SIM card
3. problem of angering the sellers when I change the card's number
4. inevitable "downtime" when I can't receive calls while my number is being moved
5. hassle of trying to stay in front of the expiration dates
6. savings is only about $0.035/minute compared to buying discounted 1000 minute refills (and that's if the minutes don't expire on you)

#2, #3, and #4 could be solved by using a service like Grand Central to forward a permanent number from SIM card to SIM card, but GC doesn't allow you to move your existing number over to them yet. I can't find any other forwarding company with a good reputation.
