US - ATT

AT&T (formerly Cingular) has a prepaid SIM to which mobile web browsing options can be added. Currently there are the following options:

  • 1MB = $4.99 / month
  • 5MB = $9.99 / month
  • Unlimited (MediaNet Unlimited) = $19.99 / month. For details see here.

Misc information:

  • The options are activated by calling 611 (a voice recognition system). Select "Feature Packages" and then "MediaNet".

  • According to this link, the APN to use for the offer is wap.cingular

  • The following username / password might be required: WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM / CINGULAR1 (case sensitive)

  • The Pay-As-You Go offer is described here, but information on the MediaNet options is scarce.

  • All add-ons seem to be for mobile browsing only, but the phone can be used as a modem for a notebook (last checked June 2008)

  • The ATT homepage does not mention if other services suchs as POP/SMTP, etc. are available. In practice, POP/SMTP and also IPSec for VPNs is possible (last checked June 2008).

  • Network: GSM/EDGE in 1900 and 850 MHz, 3G in same bands but not sure if Prepaid SIMs are allowed there.

Anonymous AT&T's Global Data Plans 1 Today, 1:42 PM EDT by Prepaidwireless

AT&T is now offering iPhone customers global data plans. The nice thing is that they're not contractual which means you can turn one of the plans on before a trip and then turn it off again when your travel is completed. Before you leave on your trip you can reset the data meter setting to zero making it easy to check to see how much data you've used so far on your trip.
$24.99/month: 20MB Data Global Plan gives you 20MB** of usage within 41 countries*
$59.99/month: 50MB Data Global Plan gives you 50MB*** of usage within 41 countries*
They have a variety of similar plans for other phones and for laptops. Here is a link http://www.wireless.att.com/learn/international/roaming/affordable-world-packages.jsp?WT.svl=calltoaction#iphone-international
