1273228	2012-05-02 06:53:00	Hi has anyone on XT traveled to the US and purchased a US Prepay Sim card recently? There is a lot of info on the web but most is dated and I like the idea of a fellow Kiwis' experience. Just need to be contactable, mainly txt with some data. I know there is plenty of wifi but its handy to have some, and from what I can see on T-mobile website not that expensive. thanks	Erger (10062)

They do have edge though which is not too bad if your not requiring high speed data. A&T uses 850 and 1900 3G bands so if your in a 850 area should should be fine. if your in a 1900 area you will only get edge. Check and see if your XT fone does 850/1900/2100. If it does AT&T will be OK bit a bit more expensive..	paulw (1826)
