WM> From your Origin line It sounds as if your in America, here in the UK the
WM> company Vodafone has recently started a service called 'Vodafone Pre Pay'
WM> which sounds similar. You buy the phone and a pre paid card which you can 
WM> up at the Post office in blocks of 25 minutes, each top up cost's you 
4.
Here in this part of the States (SW Pennsylvania), neither of the two
primary carriers offer pre-paid cellular, but a few small resellers do.
I've heard their advertising, but I haven't talked to anyone who
actually uses them. The procedure is similar to what you describe.
In some parts of the country, some rental cars and limosines have mobile
phones with a credit card strip reader attached. You can order cellular
service that way on a pay as you go basis.

Hi Tym,
 TH> David Saunders was rabbiting on to All on the subject of clid
 TH> DS>       Has Caller ID started on anyone
 TH> DS> phone ? Any one in the north ?
Caller ID on LANDLINE phones are already in effect. Caller ID on
CELLULAR phones has not. A cell call will come in as "Out Of Area" with
no number.
