Getting a pre-paid SIM is easy, and arranging a phone to go along with it
shouldn't be hard. So, I was not treating this as something that has to be
done *now*. Do you want us to have the phone and SIM in our hands right
now?

It would be good to tell the volunteers what the number is around a week before the conference starts at the latest, so it's not urgent yet.
