  5. Wrong. Not all MVNOs charge an activation fee for new devices. Cricket, for one, does not.

  6. well over 75% of the calls i took at a sprint call center (ending 03/16) were from users of more than 1gb/mo. no,i didnt count, but at 1000 interactions per month over the course of a couple years you get a fairly good sense.

    I know a couple 'professional lab rats' that travel from test to test to earn a living.

    its not hard to ship pot. i'll tell you what worked for SWIM from Seattle to Fargo for many years. Cannabis goes in ziplock, ziplock goes into turkey bag which is tied shut and crammed in a canning jar which is sealed tightly and wrapped in duct tape and placed inside of a Seal-a-meal style bag or another turkey bag. this was wrapped in a gym shirt or used socks and placed in syrofoam peanuts and shipped UPS slow with a tracking number. From 2004 to 2010 when we stopped this worked great every single time. Enjoy
