I just finished an online chat with TracFone. My LG420 is a 2G device,
and that may very well be the problem as nobody supports that format and there
is no AT&T SIM available. TracFone still supports 3G, and if that "donated"
ZTE817 is or can be unlocked than I can get a SIM card from TracFone and use
it. That will keep me out of trouble for the rest of the day. Maybe. It's a
nice phone provided I turn off the wifi when cycling around or I get Cox
advertising every time I get near one of their wifi hubs.
