Guys,
I am travelling from Sydney Australia to Vegas in the USA shortly and need to forward my mobile to a prepaid sim I will buy when i land in LA, I was thinking of forwarding my Oz 3 sim to a Skype 'landline number I could buy for $24 for 3 months, then forwarding this to the USA sim card that will be in my mobile when over there? Is this a good idea or can you think of a better way?
Roaming on 3 for Oz people is disgusting, last time I travelled I racked up $700 bill in 4 days!!!!
ps
Whats a good 3G mobile provider in CA & AZ area, do you guys have mobile broadband available on pre-paids?
I actually never seen a place for or to buy prepaid sim cards. Here in the states
Thought that was only in europe

Re : travelling to india
in India, the most popular handsets are the GSM ones... u could get a GSM handset with u from holland or u could buy a new one here in India... a simple GSM handset would cost less than $70 here... you can buy a pre-paid SIM card from a local service provider here and that would cost u less than $5.
u should buy a connection from the operator, "spice" in punjab. they have got pretty good coverage in punjab. "airtel" is a fine option too
actually prepaid simcard costs around 2$-3$ at max
And then you recharge ...your incoming calls from your GF would be free..of course shed have to pay the International calling cost but someone has to pay.
If you take your card from Holland to india, then if she calls you - she has to pay for outgoing and you have tio pay for international roaming incoming.
Travelling in India
I have just arrived in India from UK. I have boght a Hutch SIM card, couple of dollars, and outgoing calls to UK &B Europe are 20 US cents a minute. A lot cheaper than UK rates.
Check on their web site

Hi,
I'm travelling to the States by the end of April. I will spend about ten days in Florida.
Can anyone recommend a specific mobile phone provider that offers prepaid services?
I think I will use it about 70:30 for domestic and international calls as well as for writing short messages.
I need a provider that covers all of Florida.
I think there is T-Mobile and Cingular.
Thanks for your reply!
I am to going to florida, i'm also looking for some prepaid plan.
But from what i've seen so far is that the "start-kits" are quite expensive.
I will be on a trip to New England in the first two weeks of June and I thought of using my HD2 there too, but since my Internet flat is only valid in Germany and roaming prices are way above what I want to pay, I thought about getting a Prepaid Sim Card.
In Germany some providers offer a limited Internet flat for prepaid users. So let's say you pay 10€ for getting an internet flat for one month and it will be billed on your card, after 30days you will be billed based on your amount of traffic again. So my question is: Do American providers have a similar option and which provider can you recommend?
Hello,
We are traveling to Spain. Will be in Barcelona and then the Andalusia region. Will I have data access in these areas? What companies provide a SIM card I can use on my unlocked ATT phone?
Do you know how much they generally cost, and what sort of plans are offered?
Thank you for the help!
The main Carriers are MoviStar, Vodafone and Orange.
For 3G the best is Vodafone, about prices and roaming I think is the best you can get

Where do I buy one? At the airport, Or is that a ripoff?
I cant figure out how much they will cost for a 3g data package including voice.
Hows the coverage through Andalusia?
My mam went to dubai a couple of months back nd she bought a vodafone sim while she was there tho I dnt know what plans vodafone do for when u go abroad but I could ask her nd let u know
Sent from my E10i using XDA App
So Im in Jerez spain and everywhere I've been, every phone store says you can not buy a prepaid sim for data. I know they sell unlimited data sim cards that last 7 days for 29 euro. I see them all over the web, but the vodafone stores have no clue about this, they say only minutes! Maybe I need free gps program since I can not use google maps now. arg. Any suggestions??
thanks!
that depends.topons.com
you can have a look .maybe you can save more.
As a follow up:
I got a movifone sim from Corte Englis but could never get it activated right after over an hour I said screw it.
Then I got a YOIGO sim card from a mobile phone store. I think the store was actually Movifon. After spending 10 minutes telling me they dont make a simcard for data, I looked through the plan book and found one. They set up for me then. It was unlimited data, but I think it capped the speed after so much use. Because after a while of Google maps the speed got REALLY agonizingly slow. Then the next day it would be highspeed again.
It costs me like 15 Euro for 2 weeks.
Hello americans (and others) on XDA!
I'll be going for a 4 week road trip around USA in about 2 months and wonder which carrier and plan to choose. I guess I'll go with a pre-paid one but I don't really know which carrier who have the best coverage and so on. I want at least 2GB of mobile data for a maximum of $45.
EDIT:
Btw, I'm from sweden.
If you want good coverage you'll have to go with Verizon. And its not cheap. TMobile is, but you'll lose HSPA when out of most cities.

Ok, then I guess that it's safe to assume that I can buy a pre-paid Verizon card at the airport in San Fransico.
Not sure if you can buy a pre-paid verizon card at the airport but verizon is the best choice for service if your going to be on the road a lot. Check out the website and see where you can get the cards or see if you can set it up before you arrive. If you can't get it at the airport I would assume there are 20-30 stores for verizon in San Francisco.
Besides SF where will you be going?
In northern California it seems to me Sprint and Verizon have the best coverage while AT&T is still acceptable but not as good. Unsure about T-Mobile.
