Because I have family members that work at at&t and apple. I can get an unlimited amount of phones if these this works out. Your probably wondering why not sell them on ebay yah yah yah... but unlike you, Mr. Useless Troll, I have an idea and a dream

I am a troll because I gave you legitimate advice?

Look, your plan is full of holes. Here are some actual problems you need to solve:

1) Who is going to provide phone service? Are you contracting out another prepaid company, or is this just a hardware service? Running a phone service provider is not trivial, and it takes an enormous amount of money. Aside from that, you are subject to all manner of government regulation. Why would people even WANT a Bitcoin phone service provider? So that there is yet another central place that people can track their activity to? What are you going to do when the government asks you to turn over all your call logs? And if this is just a hardware site... Well, why exactly would people want to use it over a more untraceable, cheaper method?

2) Apple sells iPhones off contract now, to the general public. Your connections are not worth anything meaningful, much less the job of running this company.

3) You don't have a computer.

Like I said before, why are YOU the best person to run this? That is not trolling, it is a question that any investor would ask you. You do not even have a computer! What you have are friends who work at phone stores, and that is really not much.
