I just did this and input everything correctly except for the social security number. For that I entered 999-999-9999. My understanding is that entering anything else will result in an email telling you to go into an AT&T store to complete activation. Once in the lair of the evil sales rep, you will be lulled into a false sense of security and well-being. Whereforto, the evil AT&T rep will pounce on your wallet and suck it dry! Muahahahah!!!!

So, just enter a bunch of 9's. It's working great for me. I opted for the $49.99 plan and my total charge for the first month came out to $51.64. Not too shabby. I made one phone call and it took a minute. 15 cents was deducted from my account of $29.99. As I don't make or receive a whole lot of calls on my phone. Usually never over 300 a month on my Sprint Treo 650, I figured a 200-minute/month plan with rollover would suit me nicely!

As always, YMMV. But, I think this is a fabulous way to keep my options open for if something greater comes along next year.

I HATE CONTRACTS!

Quick question: Does anyone know what happens if you burn through your minutes before the month is up? Do you go negative and that is deducted when your card is charged on the regular date? Or do you get a warning message telling you to add more buckolas?
