You also need to be VERY careful in the US with the "device" - there appear to be some rather random operator-specific rules concerning what constitutes a "data" or a "phone" device. I bought the unlimited data $30/month Walmart/T-Mobile plan on SIM-only expecting to be able to use it in my iPad. Technically, it works, but T-Mobile classify that plan as only available for "phones" whereas an iPad must be a "data" device. They filter access based on the IMEI - I can get as far as T-Mobile's home page, but no more. The irony is that my wife uses it in here trusty Nokia and does FAR more email/web-browsing than I ever do over cellular. (T-Mobile US have re-farmed their network to support 3G on iPads over the last 6 months.) Now, it would be nice if this was printed in any T&Cs anywhere, preferably before you part with any money...

That's *really* nice. it's 200MB so that's somewhat less nice. after that you get clamped to edge rates. http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/pay-by-the-day-cell-phone-plans that does align fairly well with the 5GB a month tier in the postpaid "unlimited" plan so it is a reasonable deal, but no magic is happening. > > And I thought the EE deal in the UK which gives you 100MB of data for £2 a day while roaming in the US/Europe was pretty good. > > Tim > >>> -----Original Message----- >>> From: 86attendees-bounces@ietf.org >>> [mailto:86attendees-bounces@ietf.org] On Behalf Of Randall Gellens >>> Sent: dimanche 17 mars 2013 00:04 >>> To: John Levine; 86attendees@ietf.org >>> Cc: lars@netapp.com >>> Subject: Re: [86attendees] "best" prepaid US SIM? >>> >>> At 7:52 PM +0000 3/16/13, John Levine wrote: >>> >>>> If you're in an area with adequate T-Mo coverage, they have some >>>> reasonable plans starting at $30/mo with no contract. >>>> >>>> http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/monthly-4g-plans >>> My understanding is that T-Mobile has other prepaid plans that are >>> not monthly but rather per use or per day of use or per month of use. >>> >>> -- >>> Randall Gellens >>> Opinions are personal; facts are suspect; I speak for myself only >>> -------------- Randomly selected tag: --------------- Once a job is >>> fouled up, anything done to improve it only makes it worse. >>> _______________________________________________ >>> 86attendees mailing list >>> 86attendees@ietf.org >>> https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/86attendees >> _______________________________________________ >> 86attendees mailing list >> 86attendees@ietf.org >> https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/86attendees > _______________________________________________ > 86attendees mailing list > 86attendees@ietf.org > https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/86attendees > _______________________________________________ 86attendees mailing list 86attendees@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/86attendees
