Why not 90210?

I remember reading something many years ago that non US people accessing things that require a US postcode will use that one more frequently then randomly selecting 5 digits.

    In hopes you read the spoiler, sure, I don't care. 20002 works just as well. Just don't expect privacy on an IMEI tracked business. Third parties will generate even more money tracking those new IMEIs on towers than if Nicholas Merrill gifts these SIMcards for free.
    It's a betting business, your purchase need not be necessary.
