Hi all,
As the title says I'll be in the USA for 2 weeks in May, and I was looking for options (I definitely need a data plan while I'm there).
I find american cellular networks to be confusing at the least, not only they are different to the European ones, but also different within the same country, so I don't really know what I need.
I have an iPhone 5, the GSM version that is sold in the UK/Ireland (AFAIK I won't get LTE speeds with this phone, but I'm OK with that so long I get HSDPA. Edge is not enough).
I'm looking for:
-A pay as you go plan that I can pay for in cash, preferably.
-HSDPA speeds
-Unlimited data or whatever is closer to this (2GB could do I guess, but the more the better)
-I don't need voice/text, but if it's there, I don't care.
-Tethering would be great. I could live without it if it's necessary but it would be really useful since I have an iPad.
If could have it ready before going that would be good too, instead of having to purchase the nano sim there.
Anyway, what are my options (if any)?
