Hi rep,

Just wanted to confirm no tethering on this one, I read the general T&Cs on their website and that seemed to rule tethering out.

Cheers

  Sorry, ignore that, just noticed on your site it says no tethering.

  My wife and I were just in the U.S and were able to use tethering with no problems on this sim. T-Mobiles reception can be spotty if you go outside the city (data usually drops down to Edge network), but it works quite fast otherwise.

    - prankster on 13/07/2015 - 12:54
      
      so i went around USA for 5 months and its not as easy to get a good prepaid sim card.
      
      anyway i managed to get a sim from a tmobile shop because they had some deal online which was 100 minutes with unlimited data (think after 2GB it was closer speeds but you couldn't tell the difference) but no tethering sadly (which i'm pretty sure it was on the website but i didn't have the proof sadly).
      
      this was $30 USD per month and i can't remember how i paid for the top up if I used my 28 degrees (because after i managed to get a USA bank card, long story) so I must've used my 28 degrees I think.
      
      I've tried to look for a similar deal on Tmobile because the deal I had was pretty good, didn't use much of the calls really only for data but i found out half way through that it included incoming calls which i thought sucked because why would you include incoming calls as the 100 minutes! grrrr
      
      OH just also remembered but this was an online deal which I couldn't buy because you needed a bloody USA credit card or whatever (address?) but argued with the guy at the tmobile shop and basically had to get another sim deal, it was $2 a day or something and had to buy for $10 but then after 2 days I could change to this monthly $30 plan [[[http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/prepaid-plans]]] looks like its $40 now :(
      
      (http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/sim-card) on this website you can see they talk about the daily plan which looks like increased to $2.50 a day but yeah you should be able to get this at the shop. so yeah get the sim at the shop and then change to the above plan after
      
      probably alot just for 35 days .. i'm planning to go for 2 months next year so yeah or else you can buy 2 sims from travelsims and then activate the 2nd sim after 30 days
      
      sorry the blabbing hope this helps

Used this when i was in Vegas - MAY 2015
I ran into an issue when i was over here (But it was my fault - I advised the wrong dates with when to activate the sim)
Seller was quick to respond via email/Contact us section on their website - http://www.travelsimsdirect.com/#!contact/ce84
Product is great - no issues when i was in the states - From airport to inside multiple casinos

Using a HTC m8 - only get HSPDA speeds - once again didnt look at the specs of my phone :S
did eventually flick it over to a iPhone 6 - 4G/LTE ~10-15Mbps uploading ~8Mbps - so speed wont be an issue

Make sure when purchasing the sim - on checkout - put in a date of your flight - that way you dont get stuck there with a sim not activating till a few days later
other than that - great product no issues :)

I jumped on this previous deal https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/199597, 5gb for USD45 for travel in the US in May. Received the SIMs on time. I had a query whether we could know the phone numbers associated with the SIMs (useful knowing beforehand to pass to family, friends, and for various bookings made). Tried contacting through the website twice but never received a response.

Upon arrival the SIMs activated with no issues. Rarely had any issues with coverage (except for the drive on highway 1, to be expected!). Turned out to be an excellent service for a great price. Even the 2g speeds were completely sufficient for general browsing/maps use. I used an iPhone 6.

  Depends how long you will be in the USA I guess. If it's long enough then sure. WorldSIM is good for occasional calls and sms back home - but for lots of use or data it isn't great. Though there isn't too many good options for RTW trip really.

Just adding my support for these guys - I just got back from Hawaii (we were very sad to be leaving!) where we used 8x SIMs from TravelSIMSDirect amongst family members. It all worked very smoothly and the convenience of having a phone ready to go as soon as you land was fantastic. I'll certainly be doing the same again next time we travel.

  - picogary on 14/07/2015 - 11:12
    
    +1
    
    I recommend contacting Travel Sims and asking them what feedback they've had… they were great with communication before I made my purchase and I am sure they will be helpful for you as well.
    
    As for my experience… We were only on Oahu. Reception was good in larger urban centres, but not great in remote areas and parts of the North Shore. For example, near Haleiwa there were times where I had no reception or at best a weak signal, and almost unusable data. This didn't bother me though - I was only passing through.
    The hotel I stayed in had patchy wifi, so we used the included data most of the time. No issues with data speeds or signal within and around Honolulu.
    I'm not sure about Maui - my guess is that if you're not too remote, then you should be ok. If you are in doubt then it may be better to go with a SIM from one of the actual network providers, such as T-Mobile or AT&T.

…T-Mobile's unusual network banding, which requires a 1700MHz-compatible phone to get the best speeds nationwide. T-Mobile is working on spreading iPhone-compatible 1900Mhz HSPA+, but that network is a work in progress.

Hi all, was just in the US not too long ago so thought I'd share. Used T-mobile when i was there…got 4G with my iphone 5 in some areas.

Just another option for people, For those data hungry people…IF you don't need a sim immediately when you land (say you have already pre-organised transport to your accommodation or was just going to take a cab/uber) then it may be a good idea to look if you have access to a Walmart close by to buy this:

http://www.walmart.com/ip/Tmobile-30-Wireless-Airtime-Card/1…

Walmart exclusive plan, unlimited data (5GB at 4G speeds), 100minutes of calls, unlimited texts (including international). Activation online was easy (free wifi available at many places).

I used this without a hitch for a 2 month stint, was able to tether without issues, calls wasn't an issue to me as I used Skype/whatsapp/FaceTime with family and friends, 100 minutes was more than enough for me if i needed to call to make reservations etc.

Anyhow. Happy travelling OzB!

  - Maestrok on 13/07/2015 - 19:59

      Sweet. I just topped up my T-mobile prepaid account the other day ($10) to keep the number alive for my trip in November, mostly for convenience. Looks like I can get away with $3/month + $10/week for 1GB/week data. Pity the $10 I just added will all be gone by the time I get there (min $3 monthly fee PAYG).

What is the internet reception like for T-Mobile outside of cities? I will be doing a road trip and will need coverage on highways and national parks. On my previous US road trip I used an AT&T sim card and it worked flawlessly.

  Do yourself a favour and a little extra n get a AT&T sim. At least you will get good 3/4G speed instead of the crappy edge speeds that I got when I traveled around LA, NY, OC, and Portland. I ended up putting the T-mobile
  Sim in my sisters phone and buying a AT&T sim instead.
- Store RepTravelSIMSDirect @ Travel Sims Direct on 13/07/2015 - 15:31
  
  It does slow down in smaller areas e.g. outside of cities. We do have h2o sims, which use the AT&T network. So it's the same reception as AT&T but the plans are a little more generous and price is cheaper.

  Hi, basically it is unlimited, with the first 2gb at 4g speeds and then unlimited 2g speed data.

  i've had a pre paid sim in USA and had i think 1GB at 4G speeds then rest at 2G… basically they have pretty good coverage and unless you plan to be using youtube everyday then I think it will be already - I mainly used it for google maps for driving directions and checking out stuff on the browser when needed.. wasn't going crazy with the data with live streaming of videos etc

Do you charge extra for shipping?
