Vodacom Modem Question

Published by Krystal on Wednesday 27th August 2008, 16:39 | Filed under: Mobile

This comment was left on our Orange 250mb data bundle post from a few days ago.

I purchased a Vodacom Modem while in South Africa. I was told it would work in the UK and USA. However, in the USA, I would need to find a Sims card that would convert over to data in order for the modem to work on the Internet. Does anyone know where I can purchase a sims card in the USA or that would work in the USA, that would convert over to data in order for me to use my Modem? If I am right, and if I could convert it over - perhaps I could access the Internet using my Vadacom Modem.

  • Well, definitely you'd want to check the bands to make sure that the modem supported U.S. frequencies (850/1900 for GSM, and also the same for HSDPA on AT&T's network). If so, AT&T offers a prepaid sim package that can have data added to it for $19.99 a month (unlimited). It's not very well publicized, but if you go into an AT&T store and get a prepaid package, then call the number you use to add more minutes, there is an option to add the 19.99 a month data package as well. This is *technically* not intended to use in a broadband modem, so they may boot you off if your usage is really high, but it should work.
