A while back, someone was asking how to get a Truphone SIM [now 'Tru'] for less than $30. This might be an option.

I have now won an acution. Hopefully it will arrive before they are all gone so I can report whether the SIM is worth getting.

Would you please tell us how much you paid? I'm trying to get a feel for where I should be bidding.

I am a little hesitant to answer that. I paid 'too much' of course. I really wanted to get one as soon as possible. It was about the 30th auction. To get a feel, I would suggest you start watching the items [search 'Truphone'] ,there are currently 40. I think the prices are going to start to drop [hope, hope] I hope to get at least 3---it is cheaper to win one of these than to buy a spare battery. It is still before Noon here, and I expect UPS to arrive this afternoon. I wonder about the other bidders. Do they know what Truphone is or are they just buying the phone? Maybe some will try selling the Truphone package.
As of now, 40 have been sold and there are 40 on offer. I wonder how many they have to sell? More thoughts and hopefully a report later.
