I"n heading off to Vegas in November (blatant brag) but it will be my first trip with a smartphone (you know...with the interwebz and all).
Now, not wanting to sacrifice my other kidney to T-Mobile at £7.50 a MB, I"m looking for cheaper option. I"m not worried about calls and texts, I have that handled with my current deal but data is a real...ahem...*beeotch*.
So, do any APATers have any experience or inside knowledge they"d care to share?
I have found MrSimCard (http://www.mrsimcard.com/s.html)who seem to do a pretty reasonable deal but before I commit, I thought I"d throw it out there.
Thoughts?
Cheers,
Paulie

Oh...I"ll have that but it"s kind of a swine to lug around when checking Twitter feeds etc.
Oh, and they look at you funny when you ask to plug in your laptop at the poker table. ;D

but why would you want to be doing that?
-
Because I have acquaintances and other contacts in Vegas and it"s another way to stay in contact and see where we all are and what we"re doing.
Then there are Location-based apps like Yelp/Foursquare, Google Maps...and then there"s Facebook and all the other gubbins.
I have my reasons but they"re mine and I"m happy with them.
Thanks for the input.

Yes , yes ...I know all that.
I"m after any experiences of NOT having to use wifi.
Believe me...I"ve researched this to death...but I still live in hope that google doesn"t know everything.

You mean google knows something that you don"t :D ;)

Nope...We"re pretty much even...but even Google can"t feed of stuff that ain"t on the interwebz.

In The Venetian, near the Grand Lux Cafe, they have free wifi.

Thanks for all the suggestions regarding the free wifi...not what I was after but helpful nevertheless.
Found what I needed from my existing sources
MrSimCard.com (http://mrsimcard.ecrater.com/p/7355167/30-days-simple-prepaid-sim-nexus)
Unlimited pretty much everything for $90...now I just have to get my phone unlocked....bl**dy T-Mobile tell me it"ll take 28 WORKING DAYS....Seriously?

The only thing that I can suggest is to change your network provider, I use a well known provider of a certain colour and fruit. On my iphone contract it allows unlimited internet access and download usage anywere using 3G, wifi etc for under £30 pm...... just a thought
hope this helps

Sorry...I seriously doubt if your contract allows for unlimited internet (data roaming) in the US....which is the point.
I already have unlimited internet (well 1GB) in the UK for the same £30pm....and I"m locked into that for 2 years.
