Go to http://www.gosim.com and have a look.  You can buy specific sims for specific continents also which are a bit cheaper than the global version.

I found them after T-Mobile wanted to charge me a $500 deposit to enable roaming on my new contract (a**holes… perfect credit rating and about 8 contracts previously).  Anyway, worked perfectly in the Caribbean and US so far.

It helped me realize how tough CSR work is, if I never worked as CSR agent, I would probably be rude still to CSR agents myself today. 

As a CSR agent, there was alot of things that were out of our control, while other problems were caused by our own reps.  I remember times when there were faulty plan changes that were our fault that would cause hundreds of dollars in overages, many times all we could do is “Sorry, I can’t help you, all I can do is fix your plan, and pay your bill”, that angers them even more.

Lots of times customers just NEED to pay their bill in full and calm the f down, lots of the customers I had were poor-ass people who would pay half/quarter of their bill each month, and they have a monthly spending limit of $125 or so, and yet only make payments small enough to turn service back on, if a customer REALLY wants their line to be turned back on, they should just f’ing pay the WHOLE bill if it’s overdue.

The reason why I quit was because of the rudeness, but also because of the company itself, the company only cared about agents making sales and at the same time having a call handle time under 7 min while trying to fix their problem, it’s impossible to set up 4 lines in under 7 minutes. But also, I had a woman from Florida call in, her phone broke down, so she sent it in to get replaced, she was eligible for an upgrade so she told us to cancel the repair and she would just upgrade her phone, sometime later on she decided she no longer wanted the upgrade, so fine, but the problem was that since she cancelled the repair status, she could not get her phone back, there was absolutely nothing I could do about it, I couldn’t find the phone anywhere that she owned, nor would my team leader help, and the first time she requested a supervisor, the sup denied the request.  That was bad.

The other problem I had with CSR was the training, there were some areas that we had very minimal training in, or none at all, such as in areas of porting in/out phone numbers, diagnosing tech problems, some billing related issues. We learned two different software applications, where one was more superior than another for certain tasks, and if one application crashed, you were sometimes screwed, because both applications were needed for plan changes, checking the credit status of a user, etc.. ugh

I’m happy I’m gone but it gave me a bigger interest in cellphones now more than ever

It appears they added the new plan on the 23rd of April, a few days after our Cingular was false advertising post.

Connectivity Options
1 Both of these handsets with 2G and 3G networking capability ensures wide connectivity options for the users. HTC Touch2 and HTC HD2 have integrated Microsoft Mobile application support and HTC Touch2 is powered by QUALCOMM 528 MHz microprocessor and HTC HD2 has 1GHz Snapdragon processor. 
2 The best features included in both these mobiles are 3.5mm audio output jack and GPS navigation facility with A-GPS, which helps the travelers to get all the required information of the locations whenever they require.

Camera Features and Multimedia
HTC Touch2 comes with 3.2 MP camera supported by Fixed Focus, Camera Setting and video recording capabilities. On the contrary, HD2 brings along the camera—a decent 5-megapixel number with a blinding flash and VGA video capabilities—wakes up as fast as you can point its lens, and tapping the home button, no matter how many apps you’ve got toiling in the background, always results in a satisfyingly clean and snappy return to HTC’s ostentatious homescreen.
For providing entertainment to the users HTC Touch2 incorporates music player and video player supporting MP3, MIDI, AMR, WAV, AAC+, eAAC & WMA music files and MPEG4, WMV, ASF, 3GP, 3G2, M4V & AVI video files. Whereas HTC HD2 also has a video player which supports MP4, 3GP, AVI, etc and allows playing music in MP3, WAV, WMA, AAC, AAC+ file formats on its music player. If you don’t have MP4 file or MP3 files, you may try Nidesoft HTC Video Converter which is the first and best video converter for HTC mobile phone Android system. It is professionally designed to help you convert video to HTC formats: MP4, AVI, WMV, H.264, MP3, etc.. With the HTC converter tool, you could play and enjoy movies on your HTC phone any where and any time. As follow is process.
First, Download and install this software!
Step 1: Launch the program and Click “Add File” button to load source video files to be converted

Step 2: make settings: click “format” drop list to select “HTC Android MPEG-4 Video (*.mp4)” as output video format. Set your video size and quality under the preview window.

After the file is converted, just transfer the file to the videos folder on your HTC mobile and enjoy your newly created video. Another Nidesoft DVD Ripper could rip DVD movies to most popular formats easily and quickly, such as: Rip DVD to MP4, 3GP, iPod/PSP/Zune, MOV, WMV, AVI, etc which HTC mobile phone supports formats. So these tow software is a good assistant for HTC mobile user! In addition, HTC HD2 also embeds FM Radio with RDS while its rival is missing it

Other Attributes
Both of these phones incorporate 512 MB ROM and card slot option besides, Touch2 carries 256 MB RAM while Touch HD2 carries 488 MB RAM. Moreover, GPS with A-GPS support and Pocket Office feature are commonly available on both of these. Exception this, HTC HD2 also adds HTC Peep and HTC Footprints function!

In the end, I make up my decision. The HTC HD2 made the most sense to me as media player and business assistant. But as I’ve noted the HTC Touch2 was also pretty impressive and could be a viable option for many others. In the future, hope the phone manufactures can continually launch better mobile models, and then eventually benefit will belong to our consumers.

It’s Similar to the iPhone but this is made by LG.

By the way this phone is also available via VodaPhone

This phone has been out already for a month or two but I know a few of our visitors have not seen it.
