Blank Sim Cards

WTF does a blank SIM card do? I see them advertised on EBAY all the time. The phone that I bought also comes with one. What does it do?????
And should I buy a Boost Starter Kit? I saw one for $20 with $10 shipping. Is that a good price?

You can use a blank sim card if you want to clone your working one, but you must have a special device to do that

Will it actually let me use the phone or what?
And should I go out and buy a Boost Mobile Starter Kit????
I'm coming from TMO

I don't know if you can use the phone with a blank sim card, but I'm sure that you can't use any cellular service with it.

You clone your existing network SIM card onto it
Some let you clone more than one SIM onto the one card
This is useful if you have 2 phone numbers and you want to use only the 1 phone

umm....you get a "blank" sim card with every new nextel and boost phone. you have to take that phone and card to a sprint store or sprint.com and get it activated. simple as that.this also works with att. if you have an att phone and buy a "blank" sim either from ebay or the att store, you can then activate your phone on their service with no monthly contract.

i'd really like to see this working. i doubt it would work because the phone would have no way of differientiating between the two numbers.
