any thoughts, are they switching to a 64 kb sim or something?

that is a smokin deal now. Almost better than with t-mobile directly
There was something on HoFo not too long ago about this, it all comes down to that the dealer doesn't pay much (or anything) to convert it to a prepaid sim, they usually sell a sim out of their own inventory and T-mo adds some call credit by default, it was also said that the ones with "$80" of credit on them are not really $80 worth, but need some creative calculating to reach that amount.
