To whom should > we speak about renting cellular telephones for a ten day period (Radio > Shack, the cellular phone companies...)? Many car rental agencies rent handheld cellular phones by the day. They would require no installation. The fees for such rental are kind of high - perhaps they would give a discount however. Hope this helps.

You go in, buy a phone on your credit card, use it that night and take it back the next day saying you changed your mind and don't want it after all ... " :) PAT]
