My Handspring Treo 300 smartphone (smart, yeah, right, whatever) operates (when it chooses to) with Sprint service (or lack thereof). Today, again, it is useful only as a paperweight. Can anyone with more cellphone knowledge interpret the error message "0x1102"? More (but never on Sundays) within. [more inside]

I got a new cell phone, and my old one was deactivated and handed back to me. Is there any way to make an orphaned, numberless Nokia useful again (for when Sprint's coverage fades, like it has all this weekend) without signing a contract for a monthly fee? TracFone makes you buy a new phone, which is the opposite of what I'm looking for. Prepaid long distance cards seem to be only for land lines. Am I missing the magic google search term?
