[pct-l] at & t mobile cards‏

[Lyn Turner]

I've been looking at the same issues as I'm in the UK, joining the trail in June.

Came to the same conclusions re Straight Talk, who do a good 90 day prepaid SIM rate on both AT&T and T-mobile. BUT gotta make sure that you can get one from a store and don't have to order in advance. That's quite hard to do without a zip code! Over here you just pick up a SIM from a supermarket: it's been quite a headscratcher working out what to do.

I think Straight Talk SIMs can be bought from Walmart. Maybe a San Diego angel could advise?

Oh, and make sure your phone's unlocked if it has to be. Good luck Adrian!
