Hello Members,
I am opening this thread to know that which prepaid GSM sim card will be best to use in Cleveland, Ohio. My primary use would be India calling.
I am getting a AT&T $40/month plan with unlimited Local Outgoing/Incoming and around 4.5 hours of India Calling. Shall I opt for this or is there any better deal available.
MODS : Please move this to correct forum.
Thanks

Hello All,
I was curious, I am currently stationed in Qatar and the call rates back to the States are ridiculous. I ordered an unlocked HTC Fuze off e-bay to use wifi skype. My question is that the only gsm provider in the country just announced sim based unlimited 3G data only services for about 110 USD a month. Could I use this service in my phone and make it data only for use with skype? 110 is WAY cheaper that what I'm paying now. I need a phone that I can use all over not just in hotspots. Plus the wifi we have here is a little slow (2000+ users on one commercial line).
Thanks

BTW they advised it was 3.75G.
most of usa's 3g service don't seem to be using the same bands as the rest of the world
so it could be that you can only use AT&T think they use the bands as the rest of the world
I am taking a trip to India soon for about 4 weeks and will be needing a prepaid SIM for data/voice use.
What carrier has the best prepaid 3G data, and also what frequency? I will be travelling mainly around Mumbai and rest of Maharashtra state but also New Delhi and surrounding area.
Is the mobile networks good enough to do Skype calling over 3G? I mainly plan to use Skype (to call overseas) and also to check email and possibly tether to my netbook so will need at least 500MB data over that period.
Please move if this is not the correct forum.
Airtel/Reliance
Airtel is very good, you can try Reliance too. Voda is also an option.
In Hawaii in October I was considering getting a prepaid card for data, and using that instead of the Apartments WiFi.
I am in Waikeke and Wailea and wanted to know if any carriers had LTE there, and if prepay data was an option? (I am from New Zealand). I would prefer a cheap LTE Wifi Portable Access Point so all our devices can connect.
Anyone able to let me know what I should do ?
I have an international GS3 and last time I was in Cali I got a prepaid T-Mobile Sim, but it wouldn't work above 3g as I didn't have a carrier locked phone!

1) i'm confused as to which one to get. i'm on the tmobile $30 prepaid plan with unlimited data. If i get global GSm version, would i still be able to use my 3g data? If i get the U.S gsm version instead, if i travel outside the U.S, does this mean that prepaid 3g plans on other countries won't work on this phone? i'm confused and need help on which on to get since i want the phone to work with tmobile 3g data while in the U.S but also work when with other data plans in other countries i travel.
2) i got another question, lets say i don't care about using Data and accessing the internet. In which case, does it really matter if i get the global GSM or US gsm if i live in the U.S? i would still the the same signal strength just for talking and texting right?

There was another thread that talked about this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48104955&postcount=22
The conclusion was if you are on T-Mobile to go with the US version. You can see the map where the 1700 band is used in the US too.
Hi,
I have a International Google Pixel bought from a Google authorized re-seller in India. The model number printed on the back of the phone is G-2PW4200. I am going to be in traveling in the US for about a month starting next week. Which carrier would be my best bet for a prepaid sim card along with fastest data connectivity (LTE)? In the past I'd had some issues using Asian phones in the US due to band restrictions on Asian sold devices. A couple of years ago I was stuck on 3G on AT&T since my phone didn't support their LTE bands. Last few times I've been to the US I have just bought a starter kit from Net10 wireless which has sim cards inside for all the major carrier networks and I can choose to activate my Net10 wireless card on any of these carriers. Is this still the best approach? Or should I look at getting a prepaid sim directly from T-Mobile or AT&T? Which carrier would work flawlessly with my Pixel? To me LTE connectivity for data and international voice calls for super cheap prices (even unlimited) are the two most important things in carrier selection.
Thanks for the help.
Try Project Fi. I'd give them a call.
