amazon still sells the ad-supported versions of kindles. and not just the fire tablets, but the readers, too.
they count clicks on a distro's page on their site, not usage or anything else.

my utility charges $25 a month just to be hooked up. then there's taxes and some community bullshit fees on top of the actual electricity usage. so even though my usage has dropped quite a bit over the years, and the base rate hasn't really gone up that much (about 10-12% total, over two decades).. my bill is still more than double what it used to be.
i had just looked that up on verizon here. you can configure it to be whatever you want (with some limits), and it's what gets sent with your phone number for caller id to compatible mobile devices/plans and to landlines with name & number caller id capability.

click-click-done.
(oops. they just got a 'trial' to prime, too. that takes actual reading of pages to find and click-through the cancel process before the payments start)
