    Hey guys,
    Going to San Francisco for a month and I want to be able to use data while I am away. What are my options? Should I buy a pre-paid SIM card with a data plan over in the states or buy a bundle over here before I go? Has anyone done this before?

    Any suggestions very welcome!

    Did it earlier this year.
    I'm with Meteor so bought their USA bundle before I left for €20.

    True mate....and if you go over the 200MB can you top up again and get another 200MB?

    Just called my provider Vodafone and they can do nothing similar....not impressed at all at all to be honest! Looks like I'll be ditching them for Meteor, was that on PAUG mate or a contract?

    Cheers,

    Contract.
    Presume you can buy another bundle but I didn't need to.
