Prepaid mobile SIM for the USA

[drewbles]

So instead of topping up the data side as you need it, you can just add $50 for a month?

Yup. https://www.paygonline.com/websc/rateplans/rateplan_en.jsp is here

Does this apply to unlocked iPhones?

Shhh. It's a case of 'don't mention the war' and I mean specifically don't mention it. They ask 'are you using a smart phone?' in the process. Say no just don't go nuts on the data

You might want to check out a company called Travelers Mobile they will ship a US SIM and no contract pre-paid plan to Australia. They carry Red Pocket, Simple Mobile, H2O and Net10 so lots of options for plans. They also carry DataJack for Data.

As i mentioned in a similar post below, you should definitely grab a USA sim from SimCorner they have store at Melbourne Airport as well (Sydney: coming soon). Just check out the simcorner website and see if they offer any USA sims that suit your needs.

Jason7 I am running on the T mobile deal and it has taken over from my Telstra telecard that is now defunct. I am getting clear lines and because it is a prepaid I have stayed on the line to a couple of places listening to elevator music while placed on hold.
Australian Financial Review kept me on hold for 40 minutes and then I think I was talking to an operator in the Philipines who could not fix my problem. When I hung up I was grateful that I was not a shareholder of Fairfax.
The calls to Australia are unlimited but only to fixed lines from anywhere in the US.
