Has anyone been able to use a P6200 on T-Mobile's free 200 MB/month plan? It is not on their website of supported devices, but I was not sure if it would be allowed anyway ... And what I would need to do to get it to work. I am not in native T-Mobile coverage, so I can only test when traveling.
Thanks.

Hi all,
I'll be travelling to the US on business for one month, and I will be needing a sim card to put into my Tytn (HTC Hermes, quad band 3g). Does anyone know what's the best prepaid or one-month plan I can get that will give me unlimited data? I would really like to try out some of the broadband features of my wm6 phone (only edge in China, no 3g) so a plan that offered unlimited data on a high-speed network would be ideal. I'll be travelling to several states and many cities, so nationwide network is a must.
I hope someone can point me in the right direction, thanks!!!
i dont think there are any prepaid data plans in US, not that i heard of, only pre-paid voice/txt plans.
Hi, just in case anyone else asks this question, I was able to start an ATT Pick Your Plan prepaid account and then add the unlimited MediaNet for an extra $20. Medianet does give ma full www access. THe first couple of people I talked to said that i could not do this with an overseas credit card, was i able to use my bank of china card with no problem eventually. Also make sure that they add the medianet at the same time they open the account otherwise you will have to wait for 1 month to add the data. Also, don't tell them you have a PDA phone or they will charge you $40 for the exact same data plan.
Quality wise I am very pleased with the service, speeds are very fast and Google mobile maps is using GPRS to position me on a map with astounding accuracy...who needs GPS! Anyway, thanks for the help!
Hi,
Sorry for reopening this old thread, but I will be going to CA,USA in a while to and am used to having Mobile internet everywhere on my Touch Pro (Raph100) and from time to time tethering it to my laptop.
How did you go about getting the ATT sim card?
All suggestions are welcome off course.
PS:If I better start a new thread, let me know

AT&T and Verizon have prepaid data plans. Here is what AT&T offers on their prepaid data plans:
Daily – $15 for 75MB (20 cents a MB)
Weekly – $30 for 250MB (12 cents a MB)
Monthly – $50 for 500MB (10 cents a MB)
US carriers are still gouging. When I was in Ireland I got an O2 SIM card and they only charged 2 cents per MB.

Am I looking in the wrong place?
At http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-ph...cell-phone-plans.jsp?wtSlotClick=1-004EHW-0-1 I only see:
0.01$/kB
or with 75$ charge, 200MB
or 19.99$ for a 100MB pack
or 4.99$ (!) for 1MB
Just FYI, here in Belgium (Mobile Vikings), I get for one recharge of 15Euro each month:
-1000SMS
-2Gig Data (albeit EDGE most of the time)
-0.24Euro per minute
Sadly, roaming in the US, I would be charged 3.5Euro/MB....
I think T-Mobile may have the best option going now
http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/plans/prepaid-plans.aspx?WT.mc_n=Prepaid_SeePlan&WT.mc_t=OnsiteAd
$1.49 for 24 hours of unlimited mobile web access. I don't know exactly what "mobile web" means or if it's limited functionality...
T-mobile is pretty good. You get t-zones for free (which is basically m.yahoo and m.abc), and then you get 200 MB of data per day for $1.49. My connections are slow (I use it maybe once a week), but that's probably due to my phone (ATT fuze) not having the right bands for 3G connections.
Simple mobile, metro pcs.. there are many
Good Evening,
I am hoping someone would be able to point me in the direction for getting the most out of my phone, while on holiday in the USA, I will be there for a month so would prefer using a local SIM as opposed to getting abuse on roaming charges.
Basically, wondering if anyone knows of any good deals that would have cheap web access, or international calls, I realise im not being much help. Even if someone could list some Mobile Phone Networks i will be able to check out their websites, and order a SIM as needed.
Thanks
prepaid is not that good in the US. t-mobile might be ur best bit, local voice only. i think about 25 cents a minute. not sure about international and data though
25 cents a min? I don't know about tmobile prepaid. But ATT/Cingular prepaid is much cheaper.

yeah, but AT&T charges you a dollar for each day you use their your phone. t-mobile doesn't.
Actually, AT&T has two types of prepaid:
http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-phone-service/cell-phone-plans/prepaid-cell-phone-plans.jsp
pay as you go:
25¢/min or 10¢/min + $1.00/day*
or
prepaid plans (some w/ rollover and nights/weekends)
200 mins for 29.99
300 mins for 39.99
400 mins for 49.99
650 mins for 69.99
here are more details on t-mobile prepaid plans

I was looking for something similar in February, except I also needed a data plan. At that time AT&T and T-Mobile were the only options that met my needs.
I have an AT&T banded unlocked phone (Nexus One) and I'm going to be travelling to the US at the end of the month and I'm debating getting a pre-paid SIM card and putting in in my phone while I'm there. Any ideas about where the best place to go for this would be and what I should expect it to cost? I would like to have data so that I can use email while voice would be nice, but not really necessary.
I'm guessing AT&T would be my first place to look, but I suppose I could go with someone like T-Mobile and just deal with only having EDGE speed. What's the best deal?
the problem with tmobile is their internet is not internet....its worse than wap. alteast on my prepaid... att is good would cost 20$ would unlimited texting including sending to canada...sim is free from a att store...data is 20$ for 100mb and 5$ for 1Mb unless they changed it
Only100 mb? I would blow through that in a day... I guess I'll wait and see what AT&T has to offer when I get there.
Found anything yet?
Hello folks,
I've tried searching the forums for this topic, but can't really narrow down my answer. I have a rooted Nexus S from Telus Mobility, model i9020 and am wondering if there are reccomendations for a prepaid (voice and data preferably) US SIM card?
Not sure about if my model only works on specific carrier or all? Best plans out there, etc? Basically I am travelling from Ontario, Canada to New York City. Please feel free to PM me directly or respond to thread. Thanks in advance for all your help.
Cheers!
If it's I9020T ----> T mobile (only)... 30$/month gives you 100 min + 5GB data
50$/month gives you unlimited min + EDGE data
60$/month gives you unlimited min + 2GB data
70$/month gives you unlimited min + 5GB data
All prices + tax
Yours won't work on T-Mobile because you have a i9020A, like the rest of Canada except for wind. So your only option I believe is AT&T. Not sure about the Verizon spectrum and I think sprint is CDMA only? Anyways you won't work on tmo, sadly.

Thanks, I've heard from others that AT&T may be the only way to go. I have gone to the AT&T website to look for prepaid SIM card plan info, but will not really work. Is there another resource to look up to find out plan info and/or where to purchase them?
AT&T has prepaid but expensive for a good prepaid plan ... something in the north for 70$+ would be the way to go...
Sprint and Verizon are CDMA networks ...
I have t-mobile and it is great...as long as I'm near a big city. When I travel, in between big cities, I may as well toss this phone out onto the street as far as data service goes. I'm looking for information on what the best hotspot to get is.
Requirements:
- Not a post-pay monthly charge. There may be months I don't use it. Should be able to pay only when I want to use it. Pay by the block of bandwidth or pay by the day.
- Coverage almost everywhere. This probably limits things to Sprint, AT&T and Verizon. I hope there are other small carriers that piggyback on one of those networks that offer a good deal?
So far the best deal I have found is this Walmart "Internet on the Go" that uses the Sprint network for 3g. You buy a block of data, which never expires, and you use it as you need it. $10 for 500mb, $25 for 1.5 gigs and $45 for 3 gigs.
Has anyone found something better?
Wow thats expensive for the US isn't it? Or these prices are only because its "as you go" type?
Just for general info can you tell me what's the normal prices for a monthly plan with unlimited bandwidth (or is it limited to 3-5gig per month? After which the speed drops dramatically or you pay extra?)
Thanks, just wondering...
