I agree with the idea, but my I think my previous post (edited version
below correcting the error in provider name ...) still applies:

And as a head's up to the person who was going to buy a phone separate
from the phone plan: most of the time this is fine but a good friend
of mine had an Android phone he'd ordered from the States that was
evidently eating SIM cards.  Wind was decent about it and supplied him
with three or four(!) new SIM cards, but both the phone supplier and
Wind claimed the other was at fault.  After a couple weeks of hell he
returned the phone for a refund and went with a Wind-provided phone
(admittedly not quite as good a phone).  If the phone is provided by
the same people who sell the plan, the provider _will_ fix the problem
because the problem is clearly theirs.  But if you have separate
providers, it's far too easy to shift the blame.
