>> Why do this versus buying a prepaid SIM from US

If you don't mind paying 2x or 3x actual cost (via online auction or websites).

Didn't even have to pre-order. The Mrs. on recent JFK/HK flight just asked the FA and she came over with one. Easy as ordering a drink after take-off

Nano SIM card
Regular/Micro SIM card
One more question... does anyone know how many minutes/texts and how much data is offered in this plan?

Just insert into your mobile and turn on will do. Do not need activation.
