U.S. sim card? - Page 2 - The DIS Discussion Forums

Roam mobility offers SIM cards for Canadians to travel to the US. You buy the card and select the days you want. Unlimited talk and text to Canada. You can add data as well.

They use the t-mobile network so in order to get full speed your device must be compatible. You cannot get 3G for a Rogers unlocked device. You cannot get 3G for an iPhone either.

They are working with RIM to allow blackberries.

All in all its good value.

My wife and I both used a T-mobile pay as you go sim cards on our Nexus S phones from Telus. We got our sims from eBay and were able to test it at home as they were already activated with a couple of dollars already on the sim. We had no problems using a Canadian Credit card to add more money to the plan when we got to Orlando. It did work but we could not get 3G. Data connection was super slow but it did the job for us. Something to do with Canadian carriers using a different radio band on their phones than T-mobile. The nice thing about each having a sim was that we could text and call each other without worrying about roaming fees. I'm going to look at getting AT&T sims for our next trip in February.
