When we got down to the last 5 or so we gave them the choice of going away or a wireless connection for the $14.95 with it locked to 128k. It's not like FSK SM's are hard to come by. I suppose I might regret that if I have to buy them a 450 SM one of these days. In any case it was cheaper than the PRI. I wonder how many of those 128k accounts are left.
