Happy to help. You may be interested in the 3 Like Home roaming.

I just got back from San Francisco. Went to the T-Mobile store and got a
prepaid sim for $10 and topped up $10. You can then sign up for a 24hr
unlimited Internet package for $1.50 from their captive portal.
That will work if you absolutely do not need any voice or SMS. Once you

I definitely agree... no roaming for me!
Although I like the idea of tethering my iphone. I didn't think of that. Will
purchase prepaid sim to tether in emergencies, otherwise it will be coffee

Andrew,
A fair question for this group I'd say given the percentage of people here
who find themselves travelling to the US.
A number of Aussies come over here to visit me (in San Fran) and when they
go home they realize they have been mugged with a $2,000 data bill from
Riptus or Telstra. Don't
Depending on which part of the US you're going to, internet won't be an
issue.
From my experience in CA, most eateries, cafes, shops (Borders etc), hotels,

Hi,
I'm also interested in the answer.
I'm off to USA in a couple of weeks and need some form of reliable internet
while I'm there (2 weeks in total).
I have a NextG Prepaid wireless broadband USB modem which works perfectly in
Australia, and I'm hoping I can take it with me and buy a prepaid
Don't roam on the NextG card or you'll be the next Aussie I know who will

Probably won't work, no. But don't worry you'll find nothing more
frustrating over here than the shitty telephone networks (except maybe the
coffee... ummm... and the sugared bread).
Oh and by the way if you're coming to california:
Don't ever offer to rub out the whiteboard (unless you want
my recollection is the main vegas hotels charge $10-15/day (for wired). (its
not like norcal where its baseline). I never had much luck with T-Mobile
data on the pre-paid sim, they have other products they like to sell.
