The dirty deed is done!

Which is to say, I've received a new SIM card from Consumer Cellular and, if we don't think too hard about the seemingly interminable period that the support person was away dealing with Verizon ("the account is not authorized for transfer"), the procedure went surprisingly smoothly.

Now it will be up to me to put the phone through its paces.

Plus, I've got 1.5 GB of data to burn before Friday!

Cheers...
