Where to get your Data while abroad with no contract

Published by Ewan Spence at 8:31 UTC, July 27th 2010

A little something for the mobile traveller, as the Pay as you Go Sim with Data wiki is pointed out to me. In it, a country’s network providers are listed, but only those that offer Pay as You Go data. A great resource for those who want to plan ahead before picking up a SIM when they land.

The landscape is changing, with mobile data top-ups available for some contract customers when they go abroad (especially European based travelling), and the rise of the MVNO has led to companies that cater for the traveller (such as MaxRoam), but it’s still cheaper to grab something locally – but the difference between that and the other options as listed above is getting smaller.

A longer established wiki is at http://prepaid-wireless-internet-access.wetpaint.com/

The former is missing loads from the UK and I'm sure there are more in US & Canada. The latter is more comprehensive but still doesn't cover everything, plus it's out of date in many cases.

Still, better than nothing.
