I remember her not being very sure about whether it would work, but indeed it worked great.

One note - tethering didn't work while using the plan.
Thanks for the info, interesting about tethering not working, was Scandinavia using a CDMA network? Hopefully I won't have an issue in Canada, but I should probably ensure the hotel I stay out has good wifi just to be safe. (I have an LTE iPad too).
