O2's offer is 299 kc for 1.5 gb of 4G data. Coverage in Prague was great and it rarely switched to 3G. Maybe that happened twice in a week. It worked as well and although I forgot to check Speedtest, I never felt I was holding the phone long to pull up Google Maps. Only annoyance was that the prompts and messages they send you are in Czech and you can't change it to English. ... I'll be staying 4 days and am highly unlikely to need more than 100mb/day. Do I have to do anything about messages they might send? |

Will visit Prague in few weeks, landing in T1, for 5 days
so looks like easiest choice is walking to Vodafone, 200CZK for 500MB or 1GB(?) I only need data-only SIM really Vodafone - only in T2? none in T1 O2 - none in airport? despite the 299CZK/1.5GB package |

I only need data-only SIM really O2 - none in airport? despite the 299CZK/1.5GB package I ended up buying a vodafone data only sim in Wenceslas square that worked all over Europe (Schengen, non Schengen EU and Russia) for $40 for 4 GB. I used it for 19-20 days. Data speed (3G and wifi hotspot for my iPhone) wasn't anything to write home about, which I think was because of the cheap off the rack BLU phone I bought from Bestbuy. It was just fine for google maps, Fb and Instagram. |
My piece of advice is: if you are able to find someone who speaks English at an O2, then I would try to activate the SIM in the store (not back at your hotel, etc.) in case you need to seek further help. This has happened to me a number of times before where, in order to activate the service, you need to also speak the language or at least understand what the voice is saying.
But in general, getting a SIM + data is suuuuper cheap in Europe, compared to the US. |
so, PRG T2 Vodafone only opened 9am-9pm (I was there @ 8am)
so I bought Vodafone in Karlovy Vary instead (200 CZK for 500MB data-only) O2, around the corner, is better deal (299 CZK for 1.5GB data-only) |
Going to Prague and then Budapest. Total trip is 8 days. Prefer not to mess around with getting a SIM in Budapest. Can anyone recommend one I could pick up in PRG and use in BUD at reasonable roaming rates?
