prepaid sim for iphone in amsterdam & brussels....
questions for the experts in this area....i'll be in amsterdam & brussels for about a week each next month....i was looking for a sim that i can use with my iphone (unlocked)....what is most important to me is data use....i don't care what the calls & sms cost since i will rarely use that....but i will require data usage all the time....
i would prefer to get a different sim for both amsterdam & brussels since i don't want to deal with roaming charges....please let me know what my options are....thanks in advance....

Bump.. Anybody? Heading to Brussels next weekend. Any idea if the prepaid SIM cards at Brussels have a data plan for the iPhone?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Vodafone prepaid sim with "blox" activated in Holland will get you 500mb with current offer at 30 euro. Granted that I'm using a blackberry while here so the iPhone plan might be slightly different. Otherwise t-mobile has a similar prepaid sim plan that gets you 500mb for around 20 euro or 1gb if I'm not mistaken for 30.

Just go to a "Phone House" or any other non carrier branded phone shop and you'll be able to get a prepaid normal SIM card and they can "cut" it into iPhone size.
Or I think you get a iphone sim at pre-paid at any Vodafone shop.
With a Vodafone pre-paid sim you can activate your "Blox", just ask in the shop. Rates are as follows, use Google translate: http://www.vodafone.nl/internet/inte...lefoon/kosten/
Web Blox: 9,50€ per month (you can turn this off when you leave, or only load 9,50 on the sim) 200mb Web+SMS blox: 14:50 per month 500 mb
Web+Sms+Bel BloX: 34,50 per month 1000mb
Or for 2€ a day you get 20mb per day.
Edit, no idea about rates in Belgium.
