1) USA
2)ATT
3)ATT Tablet 250mb plan
4)I don't remember
5)$20/month for 250mb, $0.10 per text message
6)Long term viable. I think that they will have this in the future.

For example, for me in Hong Kong here are the figures:

  1. Hong Kong

  2. ThreeHK 3G Rechargeable SIM Card

  3. US$26 for the card (US$0 for the card, US$26 pre-paid balance)

  4. US$2.5/month for 50MB data and unlimited SMS within threehk network

  5. US$0.05/MB for the first 50MB, then US$0.25/MB onwards

  6. Probably not long-term viable, but there will be alternatives

  7. Best deal in the world, I think

I've been told by many people, that one of the biggest problems with OVMS is the cellular providers. It is a hassle to maintain a pre-paid card, and the providers keep changing the rules. Particularly in the USA.

Could you let me know (with figures in US$, approximately ok, please):

  1. What country are you in?

  2. What cellular provider and service do you use?

  3. How much do you pay, up-front for the SIM card?

  4. How much do you pay, monthly for the service (SMS + Data)?

  5. How much do you pay, per-MB for data?

  6. Long-term viability - do you think this is still going to be possible in a year or two?

  7. Anything else relevant?

Just reply to this email, on the mailing list. I only need 1 report for each provider, so if you see someone else reply to the list for your provider you can ignore this.

Thanks, Mark.
