Go with T-mobile. I'm not sure about Sprint but T-mobile I'm sure sells prepaid sim cards, without phones.zipton wrote:I am going to U.S for a month, i got a singtel phone line here but because of the duration of my stay , its kinda expensive to use singtel's dataroam packages there.
Last time i went to U.S and tried to buy a prepaid simcard with data plan in AT&T shop they told me that i cant buy a prepaid with data because of my phone was iphone5.
I just need to use data and local calls any suggestions?
thanks
I use AT&T Pre-paid data. T-Mobile will only give you 2G/Edge speeds in the US right now (they're fixing that).zipton wrote:

Rather than using overseas network, i still feel more comfortable with our local ones. Was complaining about how expensive it is to pay for the roaming charges and how i dislike using overseas prepaid previously.zipton wrote:I am going to U.S for a month, i got a singtel phone line here but because of the duration of my stay , its kinda expensive to use singtel's dataroam packages there.

You can, it's just that it's not supported by AT&T and you need a very slight bit of technical know-how because the AT&T prepaid network uses a different APN setting than their normal network.Strong Eagle wrote: You cannot use iPhone on a Go Plan... or a Samsung GS II... or any smartphone for that matter. http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/device ... hones.html
That's standard in the US. On the flip side, caller ID, call waiting, voice mail, three way calling, "auto roam", and other things like that are all a part of your standard plan. No extra cost.borch wrote:I went to the US for 4 months, and I got AT&T, the only problem that I had is that I had to pay even when receiving texts!!
True. I do like the fact you can call anywhere in the US at the same price as a local call. Having said that, the US carriers get away with murder when it comes to pricing. Then again, so do the Singapore carriers.zzm9980 wrote:That's standard in the US.

US Carriers rape customers on the cost of SMS, especially overseas. But IME the higher end Singapore plans that are cost comparable to the US plans are much worse values than those US plans. The US carriers just lack lower priced options. It's like going out to eat in the US. You get a ton of food for your money, but its an unhealthy overabundance for most people.Strong Eagle wrote:True.
