Under $30 USD?   Mine is about $35 CDN after tax.

Recently I got a SIM card in the mail from the phone company  
offering to "convert" my land-line phone number to a cell  
service. The minimum monthly would be $60 CDN (plus a one-time  
activation fee of $45)   All I would have to do was slip the  
card into my existing phone, send a special text message, and  
xPOOFx, I'd be ready to use my existing landline number with the  
phone. Oh.. plus they throw in about 10GB of mobile data. Not  
sure if that is a great idea.
