OK, first I called, asked about the international data and told them I only wanted 1 GB of data per month for my iPad.

They wanted me to pay them $10 for nano SIM. I already have a T-Mob nano SIM which I already activated for the free 200 MB prepaid data. Said they couldn't convert it to postpaid, that $10 is a sale, saving $20-30. I said no thanks, I'll check out the stores.

Go to the store and they tell me if I don't have a voice plan with them (which I wouldn't since I'm only getting data under the mobile Internet page on their site, I couldn't get Simple Choice plan.

I'd have to get Simple Global plan, which only offers data in 100 countries instead of 120, and I'd be subject to roaming charges, like $15/MB.

Why can't I get a straight story? These people must all work on commissions and use some kind of sliding price scale. The phone rep wanted to run a credit check, to get me the best plan. Told her I only wanted 1 GB a month.
