Prepaid SIM accounts - with data??

For those of us who travel and use local country pre-paid SIM cards, can people out there please let us know your experiences with different pre-paid SIM providers? Which ones include/allow data, so that we can use EQO with them?

For example, will a pre-paid SIM account with Orange UK include/allow data access to support EQO?

What about a pre-paid SIM account with T-Mobile USA?

Prepaid GSM and Data Plans - Roaming

Hi all,

If I'm roaming in another country on a local prepaid sim, change my EQO settings to Travel mode and insert the local prepaid number into the "callback" number field in EQO does that mean when someone calls my original "home" mobile number it will somehow be automatically routed to the temporary roaming sim I have in my phone? If the answer to this is 'YES' then boy am I a happy camper!!!

Look forward to your replies.

Ben

Hi Ben,

Sorry, this is not going to be the case...unless you can somehow get your calls forwarded to this number. I think Grandcentral has a call forwarding service...it might even be better suited to your needs: http://www.grandcentral.com/home.
