Hi from mrsimcard! –

Thank you for your email request.

Please visit – here – for an iPad sim card.
Please visit – here – for a blackberry sim card.

Our iPad sim has 3GB data. This is more than enough for web surfing, navigating, communicating via Skype. Our iPad offer is Plug and Play. You tell us the arrival date, and we activate the iPad for your arrival.

Our Blackberry sim is a rock solid offer on Simple Mobile featuring unlimited BB BIS service, unlimited USA talk, unlimited USA / Global SMS and unlimited 3G/4G data based on the capabilities of your phone.

Here is how it works:
You would place your sim order. We would process and ship your sim along with instructions for configuration. We will email you requesting your arrival date USA. We will schedule the activation of your sim card for two days before arrival and email you the mobile number at activation.
You will arrive the USA, insert the blackberry sim, configure the phone and off you go. The iPad is plug and play. Insert the sim, power cycle the device. Enjoy..

Easy cheesy

Q: We are travelling from Australia to the US from 8 Dec – 2 January

Question:

Hello

We are travelling from Australia to the US from 8 Dec > 2 January

I have an unlocked iPhone3 and my partner is travelling with his iPad 2 and iphone4 (locked). I am (hoping) i will also buy an iPad mini but Australia is out of stock at the moment

I would like some advice on the best plan. The unlocked Iphone3 (with the US sim) will be the primary number.

1. Can i call my partner’s iPhone 4 (with Australian number)?
2. Can I use my Iphone3 (with the US sim) to tether with the iPad 2 or iPhone 4 to use the internet? We wouldn’t be doing any major downloads, just surfing the net, using the Maps app, Facebook etc
3. Can we text Australian mobiles?
4. Can we call Australian mobiles and landlines? (not that important)

I think that’s it. There are so many of those unlimited plans, it is hard to know which to choose!

Thanks
Anna

Answer:

The answer (Simple Mobile)

Simple Mobile will give you unlimited USA talk, unlimited USA/Global text (SMS), and unlimited data. Data speed will be EDGE on the iPhone for the most part. You will sometimes get 3G, but we will promise you EDGE speed on the iPhone. Simple Mobile runs on the T-Mobile network and as such runs 3G on a different frequency from those offered on the iPhone. This is changing and so you might get 3G data as you move around as the network is being refarmed to allow 3G data on iPhones.

Simple Mobile will tether over the slower data, and you can add $10 for international calling. This is the better way to call Australia mobiles and landlines as the rate is super low – 2c/min to landline and 8c/min – mobiles.

1. Yes you can call your partner’s Australian mobile number. I do suggest he unlock his phone and get a USA sim.

2. Yes you can tether with the simple mobile sim. Data might be slower, but yes you can.

3. Yes you can text Australian mobiles – Unlimited!

4. Yes you can call Australian mobiles at 8c/min. Just add a $10 ILD pin, or buy the sim with $10 included for international calling.

Note*** – Your iPad is unlocked, and we do offer an iPad sim here. You can use an app like Viber or FaceTime, or Pinger on the iPad to take advantage of talk/text over data.

Hello

I am looking to purchase some sim cards for my family for our upcoming trip to the USA.

We have

2 x iphone4 (my wife and myself)
2 x iphone3 (2 kids)
1 x ipad2 3G

We will be travelling across the USA, and will be there from September 14th till October 10th 2011.

The ipad will be used to access emails daily, as well as maps, so it will need a 2GB+ data allowance.

The iphone4s will be used for both calls and data – emails, maps etc as well.

The kids’ iphone3s will not be used for data much at all, and will be used for calling us if (when) they get lost.

Could you please give me some advice on which would be the best value for us. From your website, it seems
the AT&T network has the best coverage.

Also, would you say that Fedex shipping would take less than a week?

Re: Cellcom Israel iPad Sim + 30 day data

Hi,

Are some IPads (or iPad2′s) “locked” and not compatible with the Sim
card above ? I’m planning on buying an ipad or ipad 2 in the USA and
want to make sure it’s compatible with the above SIM card. Any
pointers would be appreciated. Thanks !

Also, how much does it cost to refill it for another 30 days after the
first 30 days ?

C.S.

A:
iPads are sold unlocked. If you have a 3G iPad or iPad2, you can use a sim card from another carrier or even another country. You need to make certain of course that the sim has a data plan.

We do offer a sim card with Unlimited 3G data for use in Israel from Cellcom Israel.. You order the sim. We ship the sim and inquire of you your arrival date in Israel. We activate the sim a few days before you arrive in Israel. Upon arrival you insert the Cellcom Israel sim, and set the apn to “internetg”. Data flows and you are happy.
