To send an SMS...

Well in my previous entry about my current project for school I was discussing our currently futile attempt to use an AT&T Sim card to send texts so we decided to go with T-Mobile instead. Getting the card from ebay turned out great. I just had to type in the codes online and everything was good to go. I am pretty happy with how easy that was. Unfortunately, I was not happy with how it still didn't connect.
Before I can really expound on that I need to first tell you a story.
