Cell phones are different however. 'Gray marketing' 1000 phones is not only illegal but it puts 1000 more addresses on the network somewhere, not a small thing.

A single Target store cannot possibly obtain 1000 cell phones. In a year.

I do not work at a Target, so I cannot accurately dispute this. However, I do know a little about wireless networks. Autoregistering 1000 phones on a network would take all of milliseconds. Take the average US airport. Do you have any idea how many tens of thousands of wireless devices register on networks every day?

That was my first thought as well... who ordered enough stock to fill this purchase?
