It is much harder in the USA to just get a sim-card and go. T-mobile do offer it though. It was funny when the salesperson tried to sell me a phone tooand I pulled out my Galaxy S (which was unavailable there at that time) and said I was covered. It was better than any phone in the store so that upsell attempt was quickly over.

You might confuse them but they'll figure it out.

More Claims From NSA Whistleblower Russell Tice 271

Posted by Soulskill on Thursday January 29, 2009 @11:58AM from the where-does-it-end dept.

eldavojohn writes "Russell Tice, former NSA employee & whistleblower, has revealed yet more details claiming that wiretapping was combined with credit card data to target civilians. He also suggests the CEOs of major companies hold the truth: 'To get at what's really going on here, the CEOs of these telecom companies, and also of the banking and credit card companies, and any other company where you have big databases, those are the people you have to haul in to Congress and tell them you better tell the truth.' Will Congress follow his suggestions?" This adds to information revealed by Tice last week that the wiretaps targeted journalists in particular.
