Sim card

[alisonbestford]

Hi there

DH and I have tri-band mobiles which we'll be taking on our trip.

We all know how expensive the 'roaming' system is so, if we get our phones unlocked, where can we buy sim cards from, in Orlando?

I've looked online and can buy a sim, inc $10 'free' calltime, from the UK, for £34.99, (I think) but that seems a little pricey, when we have to buy two.

Anyone have any ideas please?

Thanks.

It looks like you can get T-Mobile PAYG sims from the shop in the Mall of Millennia

Does anyone know the approximate cost of the sims?
Where is the Mall of Millenia? I can feel a 'Google' moment coming on............

Hiya
You get a top up card on pay as you go for as much as you want. There my be a minimum of about 50 dollars, Im not sure, and you have to use it within 90 days or it becomes de-activated. This was the case for my parents anyway. Also my mum told me there s also a "syndol" (correct spelling?) shop at Mall of Millenia that they got a sim card from as well.
One more thing, she said they may do pay as you go sims in walmart she wasn't sure, so may be worth checking this out before you go to save yourself the journey. (or if you are a shopper like me, its a good excuse to go anyway! lol)
