I've got one in my Dell Streak and it lets it work fine on T-mobile.
Me: I need a prepaid SIM with data.
AT&T: Sorry; we only have call and text on prepaid. Hey, why don't you try T-mobile down the street?
Me: Uh, ok.
....
Me: I need a prepaid SIM with data. Just the SIM card. I have my phone.
T-Mob: Sure; let me tell you about what we have...

I agree... sh*theads at AT&T would not sell me prepaid data plan because I did not buy my iPhone from them.

T-Mobile did sell me a plan... and their coverage sucks... even for voice... I go to Kingwood in Houston... a long established community... and get no service.

Sadly, yes. Fortunately for me, it was only patches with no coverage during my time there. And I did check their coverage map just to make sure I'm covered wherever I'm going.Strong Eagle wrote:

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that T-mobile sells the Rebel SIM chips. Only that the Dell Streak is SIM locked to AT&T and the Rebel SIM lets me use the device on other networks such as T-mobile.Strong Eagle wrote:Well... we don't have T-Mobile in Singapore... thank gawd... and the OP indicates Singapore as her/his locale.Sad Panda wrote:If you can't get help from o2 or a local shop you might find luck with Rebel SIM. rebelsimcard.com/

Aren't O2's just HTC's. HTC was previously just a contract manufacturer and the O2 equivalent here was the Dopod. A couple of years ago, HTC bought Dopod to give themselves a corporate outlet as well. Check with HTC's website to see if the phones are the same.
