I'd say YOU are the smart one. The phone is rather dumb.

You probably can for as little a $10, just to get started.

When I was gifted a broken Blackberry (it would nolonger  
charge properly to the previous owner's liking), I used it  
primarily as a camera, FM radio, music player, and the  
occassional wi-fi linkup - for 2 years. I was not moved to  
bother ever owning a cellphone for making calls.

But I eventually opted to try activating it when my previous  
Roger's Stick device was simply not performing well with many  
of the sites that I replied on. I purchased a $10 activation  
card with Luckymobile.ca  The idea was to see if I could  
obtain good mobile data service at home to replace the Roger's  
Stick solution. And if would work well, then I would move to  
Luckymobile.  If not, then it was just a $10 (+1 month of data  
usage) experiment.  I decided to stay.  I have a modest 5GB/mo  
plan. Phone calls are unlimited - Canada wide, but I have  
never used it except to call my shop to check messages on my  
answering machine.

So, for as little as $10 (plus atleast one month of service,  
$15), you could register a Telegram account to activate the  
program on your desktop, and never need the phonenumber tied  
to your account again.

It appears that they are offering the same card for 50% off  
right now.  Total cost, $20.

But I digress from the topic of this echo.
