Hi everyone
This summer I am going to America and will stay for about a month. Of course I have roaming on my Norwegian subscription, but I think it will be too expensive to use it the whole time. That's why I am considering to buy a pre-pay card during my stay. Therefore I need some advice.
Since I am going to travel around it should work "everywhere" (I know from my stay last summer that the coverage isn't like in Europe with coverage almost everywhere). I also need to be able to receive SMS from Norway (and MMS aswell but that's not very important).
I will appreciate any help regarding this.
Thanks in advance!

I would recommend Tmobile.
http://www.t-mobile.com/prepaid/overview.asp
They have nationwide coverage. You can send sms 4 10cents and it is free to receive.

T-Mobile also gives free GPRS access on port 80. No other carrier offers that.

Yes, there was a very thourough thread concerning this very subject on HowardForums.com but I was unable to find it so I could post a link.
I have had sucess with TIM (Italy) and T-Mobile USA, but that is all I have tried.

I work for t-mobile usa and i think we have the best pay as you go right now. Mms is not availiale on pre pay, but you can do international sms. Virgin is not gsm.

Sounds good. I guess I will get the T-Mobile pre-pay then. Can I buy it in advance so I not have to look for a place to buy when I get there?
