AFAIK, all the necessary encryption keys are on the SIM. So you just need to get a SIM from a commercial carrier. They are not that hard to obtain.

Yep. If your in the USA. Go and buy a 'Go Phone' from AT&T or whatever. Pay for your minutes,
take the sim, throw the phone away (well get the Nokia and use it as backup.. they get unreal
battery life). Pretty simple.

Then hack away.
