Hi,

Wondered if anyone around here knew the best way to get a mobile setup for the USA? Previously I've bought pre pay GoPhone SIMs and gone for the $2 a day deal where you can get unlimited calls to USA numbers.

Is this still the best approach (assuming they still do it!)? I wouldn't mind a bit of included data this time, which is one thing the GoPhone setup lacked.

Cheers for any advice!

You get unlimited data on the $50/m GoPhone monthly plan.

OH and I were there last year or year before. She didn't "use" the data, but just the dribble of incoming email, and it updating itself caused a bill in 5 days that was the same as the flights ! yikes
Oof, yeah I've heard stories like that from friends. The Roaming data option will be set to off and triple checked! smile
