And by the by you're going to be paying for data to someone and over the long haul you'll be paying pretty pence for data to whomever you choose unless you choose to get no data at all and only use WiFi.
Sorry, wasn't trying to show off there. They paid me for them as the savings pay for the handset in 9 months and there is a general hatred of AT&T on their part, plus the benefits when traveling.
SIMs usually cost me about $15/$20 depending, coming with credit and a data connection, although I am usually in Asia. On said tour I think I spent about $100 total on SIM cards during my trip, never had to top up extra. In comparison, Vodafone charges me about 1 Pound per minute and a lot more for data. Here in the USA now and charges are $2 a minute to call and $4.50 per MB of data. I bought a SIM with unlimited calls, texts and data for $60 including calls to UK numbers at $.02 a minute. This is a massive saving. I wouldn't like to be in a CDMA only position and be unable to do this
