| Tmobile, ATT or Roam Mobility prepaid sims?
Trying to find some information with the sim cards to get. Is there a point to get more than one sim for all of US or one for each location?
I was looking at Roam Mobility, it is apparently a subsidy of Tmobile, their sim costs $20 bucks and this one gives a generic US number. Talk+Text+Data - US Roaming Plans - Roam Mobility
Where do you guys buy Tmobile micro sims? anyone local?

Might be easier for you to cut the regular US prepaid SIM card down to Micro sim size than to looking for US prepaid carriers selling you micro SIM cards..

I got my T-Mobile micro at a T-Mobile store. Just look it up the closest one to you.
And for T-Mobile, you need the $100 refill plan for it to last a year.

You can only buy tmobile sims in the states. If you check Craigslist sometimes you'll see some people sell them. I bought a Roam Mobility sim to use in the states but never bothered to activate it since I was able to use my work phone. NA dataplan ftw.

Go to the phone shop in RMD by Superstore. They sell the t mobile sim there. Cost a little more but hey you get them here working. T mobile don't support 3G iPhone only edge or 4g, I think.

Roam Mobility is a Canadian owned and NOT operated by T-Mobile. HQ is right here in Richmond
There is 3G is select cities in the US for your iPhones, eg. Seattle, LA, Vegas..basically major metropolitan cities
$20 gets you a permanent US number. as said above, it expires after one year from the last plan purchased. so if you use it at least once a year, you will have no problem.
Unlimited Talk/Text to US and Canada. 100mb/day
Biggest advantage is the permanent US number and the calling/texting back to Canada.
I use it everytime I go to the US. works like a charm. I dont feel disconnected.
Many resellers here guys
Get on it

Get on it | Interesting. I was going to suggest for people who just need to use the data portion when they are in the states to pick up those portable wireless hotspots such as the Verizon Jetpack.
I was in Seattle not to long ago, and my friend had one of these handy devices on them. Made my life so much easier when attempting to navigate via GPS.

Google Navigation is awesome. I used to use Tomtom and Navigon too, but the maps are not as accurate as Google, and has given me directions to exit into a concrete side wall on the I-5 due to the major highway upgrades taking place right now.

^ has happened to me even with tomtom/navigon
google navigation is DOPE if you have GPS on your phone.once you have offline maps saved/enabled
you can have your data/phone off and it will still work if you have GPS
