As you can tell , I have no darn clue!! therefore, stay calm yáll. lol. and now my keyboard is giving me that lil sign above the a?? oh my whats up with that? oy

thanks all
Marcella

If you're going to a reasonable place (tucson, phoenix, flagstaff...) I'd go with tmobile. Data would be slower but they have good pre paid rates.

TMo does prepaid plans: http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/prepaid-plans

You should check their coverage map for the area though, you don't want to be stuck for 2 months with a crappy signal.

I can't believe it, no NHL and the Cancuks are heading to Arizona...
 
I finally got back in!! geewhiz already.

thank you for the replies.... Yes I checked the map and it is good reception around Phoenix! yes, I will do this.

NHL... cross fingers they will be back on the ice by Dec. Would love to see a game!

Amen. It's the only American sport I haven't seen live yet since moving from England.

Go with the T if you are going to be in a big city.

oh...and GO PREDS!...or just GO NHL and get a labor deal done...it must be so hard to already get paid millions but not enough millions to work lol:D
 
Yeah I know.... so much money so little time lol. I wonder if I can get a Tmobile sim online or where is the best place to get one. Probably best to wait till I get there?
