Is there really such a thing as a data plan card ? I can't find that
on the gophone section of the cingular site. It only lists:
$15 30 days
$25 90 days
$50 90 days
$75 90 days
$100365 days
As far as I understand it you can get a sim card without having to buy a
phone.
I used to sell T-Mobile, Cingular, ATT (before they merged), Sprint.
I've been a T-Mo customer for about seven years, and I wanted to offer
the benefit of my experience and knowledge. The info I offer is based
on T-Mobile USA service. [Disclaimer: I don't - and never did - work
for a carrier,
Just as a data-point, what I'm doing in the US is I have a family
plan with T-mobile with 700 or so minutes, free nights and weekends,
unlimited data, and unlimited free T-mobile to T-mobile. I use a Sony-

need EDGE. I
Just to add a clairification to t-mobils data plans (the ones
available with contract)
The free data plan is the walled-garden plan, called t-zones. It is

approved sites.
Next step up, is t-mobileweb, for 5.99 additional a
I'm in New York City. I need to switch plans this month because my
uber-cheap prepaid service (ecallplus.com) is ending this month on the
30th (It's TDMA!!).

still don't get-

Mike,
As to the contract you don't need a 2 year contract to get a sim card. In
fact as far as I know even a pre-paid plan, in which you pre pay for
minutes, will get you a sim card. you also don't _need_ to sign up for a
data plan, but I would bet if your getting this for the neo1973 you will

I agree that this should be in a FAQ somewhere, because it's something
lots of US free-your-phone users need to know. It isn't OpenMoko

some time looking in to this so I'll share what I've found:

I've had Cingular unlimited for a year or two on a Treo 650. The basic
plan (national roaming, and a bunch of minutes with rollover) is about
$40/month, then the unlimited data plan adds $35, and with a few text
messages (which are extra charge) added on top my monthly bill is
about $80. I got a
