Going to Europe and I don't want to pay through Verizon so wanted to get a SIM card for data. Will be in France and England.
Can I buy a SIM card just for data work on their networks?
Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I will be traveling to Singapore tomorrow for a week, and I didn't even think about my plan.
Anyways, I called, and added international texting to my account... but I was wondering if I bought a sim card over there for only the internet.. would it even work? Do I need to get my phone unlocked?
Are there any international APN's specifically that I need to add?
Thank you very much.
Yes you will need to unlock your phone to use a singapore sim card.
And getting a local card for usage is a good idea, it works out much cheaper
Hi. I have a Bell mobility Canadian S3. I am traveling to USA. I need data for using Google Navigation and internet there. Does anyone know if i can unlock my phone, buy a prepaid SIM card, and use the phone there? Is this phone compatible with t-mobile or at&t SIM cards?
ps--if it won't work, i also have an unlocked motorolla Atrix (1st gen), but the screen is fidgety and doesn't work well. Will prepaid sims work in the atrix?... then i can just use the atrix as a hotspot for the S3. Thanks in advance.
Hi. I am from canada and travelling to usa...i need data there (to be more specific, i'm gonna use my atrix as a mobile hotspot). What are my options for a prepaid sim? At&T? T-mobile?...any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. (i'm going for 5 days..about 1gb would be good)..but 500mb might do as well.

AT&T and smaller operators running on AT&T like Straighttalk work perfectly. T-Mobile and smaller operators running off them will work, but you'll only get Edge data. Verizon and Sprint, and any operators running off their networks are CDMA and wont work at all.
Someone told me that I would need to get a working AT&T sim card & insert it to receive the update. Anyone know how unlocked phones get updated software?
You can buy a prepaid AT&T SIM card to get the OTA.
Thank you. Will I be able to get that from at&t? If anyone in the San Gabriel valley have an extra sim card I could use or buy would be greatly appreciated.
Hello, just a quick question about using international sim card. I'm traveling to the Philippines in a week and wanted to know if a sim from the Philippines would work with my unlocked S23U, purchased from Samsung, currently running S918USQU1AWC8
Previously, I had only bought carrier phones and on my last trip, I had to only go to the T-Mobile app to unlock the phone and was able to use a Philippine sim after that.
So is there a way to check if it would work? Your help is greatly appreciated

I would suggest you to take a look at eSIM option instead. Easier to acquire and better solution for short travelling.
