Brief visit to US
My wife is visiting the US for approx 16 days in Sep/Oct.
We have unlocked HTC Desires in Australia. I have looked and seems like the AT&T GoPhone pay as you go plans are the go - probably the $2 daily plan with a data package. https://www.paygonline.com/websc/rat...ateplan_en.jsp So can she walk into any AT&T store and sign up and get a SIM? She has a SSN if that's important. |
Yes, she can walk into an AT&T store and get a sim no need for SSN or anything. Better yet, she can get a sim/cheap phone package at one of the many stores, walmart, kmart, radioshack, target, etc. Same thing with Tmobile. Also, tmobile has the $1.49/day unlimited data package.

You should be able to get the SIMs at lots of places besides AT&T stores, such as Walmart and Target.
|
One thing to watch: if you buy the cheap phone + SIM package with AT&T, the SIM is locked to that phone for awhile (six months?). I understand you can activate them in a different phone but then it will be locked to that phone for the six months. (If the SIM gets locked to a phone, it simply won't work with any other phones until the lock expires.)

You might have to buy the cheapest phone to get a SIM at a Walmart or a Target type store. Best Buy might have SIMs available. But unless you are right next to one you have better things to do with your time. |

Thanks - seems the data plans are new - no $25 data plan for mobiles. Any reason an "iPad" data plan won't work for a smartphone (I don't understand data plans specific to devices????). http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-pho...nect-plans.jsp |

(I've not tried it in a phone - I can't right now since I'm in Canada - but Rogers' iPad plan doesn't work at all in phones so it wouldn't surprise me if AT&T's doesn't either.) |
