love the patriotic guitar - semioticians can have a field day with this stuff

can anyone advice me on what prepaid card to get for my phone when i am over there? it'll only be eleven days but i am sure as hell i will need to call people many many times. i also want to go on teh internet to send my mum whatsapp messages. soooo,... anyone? would be SO COOL

prepaid card? wtf is that? i don't know.

but if you have t-mobile, it should work here, just ask them what/how.

DON'T YOU GUYS HAVE PREPAID CARDS????
if i use my sim card in the states i will have the hugest bill in the world :(

im not saying they don't exist. i'm saying i'm ignorant. there are places that will swap your sim card of course, but i've never used them. prepaid sim cards?

I would try to do without telephoning during the trip and rely on Wi-Fi (WLAN) for e-mail, skype etc.
I don't know either what you mean by prepaid cards.

Naja, man kann sich eine Simkarte mit Vertrag oder als Prepaid Karte besorgen. Prepaid ist gut für Kinder ( mich ), die nicht mit Geld umgehen können. Und man zahlt keine monatliche Gebühr. Für meinen kurzen Urlaub will ich natürlich keinen Vertrag abschließen, bei dem ich dann 24 Monate lang eine monatliche Grundgebühr zahlen muss, obwohl ich das Handy nicht nutze.
In Australien hab ich auch zwei Monate eine Prepaid Karte benutzt.
Da packst Du Dir Geld drauf und wenn das vertelefoniert ist, dann kannst du neues Geld aufladen. Hast aber keine Vertragsbindung. Wenn Du die Simkarte nicht mehr brauchst, dann kannst Du die einfach wegwerfen o.Ä. und brauchst Dir keine Gedanken mehr darüber machen. Kennst Du echt nicht?

uhta, no entiendo ni un carajo!

lee lo que te puse ahí y ya no mames

i had spanish in school for 4 years but idk what you're saying
thank you, ms. G., other ms. G and mr. L.

Ah, jetzt verstehe ich. Wir sagen Wertkartenhandy dazu :-)
Irgendjemand hier müsste dir wohl zu Prepaid Cards Auskunft geben können. Ansonsten frage vielleicht bei deinem Anbieter in D-Land, ob man das Handy nicht vorher entsperren müsste oder ob man sich einfach irgendeine prepaid-Karte reinstecken kann.

hahaha....white boys say this a lot around the KoF Meetups.
(King of Fighters is very popular fighting game in Latin America so a lot of hispanics play it. Which means in Chicago a lot of Mexicans play it. Anyways.....the white boys took a liking to the phrase, 'no mames!' after the KoF13 was released and actually hung out with hispanics. You hear it a lot around KoF setups.)

pinches gringos… se roban todo!




bring me some jamón!

will you come pick up the SCHINKEN in new york?

Just buy a "burner" at the local bodega. or here https://www.burnerphone.us/

ha ha, no, but thanks for offering!

ps- i live far away

this is a good idea.
i want a sim card for my iphone though so i can send my mum cute pictures of her fav daughter in new york...
but i will keep the burner phone in mind, thank you !

but where is the snow??

the dogs ate it

If yer iPhone is unlocked...you can get a t-mobile prepaid card for 30 bucks and I think it offers unlimited data and 400 minutes. I forget...but yeah...I'm not at home otherwise I'd look it up.

Ok I lied. It's 100 minutes...but still. Unlimited data and text. (I looked it up).

good boy!

i am so excited! two days from now i'll be hanging in new york, being super cute.
and hanging with pat and jenn from saturday on! playing twister. haaaaa.
and the lee gig next week 8)
and i'll probably go to some designer's after party on thursday night.
thinking about wearing this dress (in BLACK) to the party, not sure though.

but maybe i'll just wear a black skirt and black skirt...

guess that's what i'll be getting then! thanks!

Make sure yer iPhone is unlocked...unless you don't want to void the warranty...I think it voids it....

i think the iphones aeropedos come all unlocked. maybe im wrong but in 'merica we basically get a raw fucked deal.

KEKES, LISSEN CARAJO

before you fuck anything up call your phone provider and see what they might offer

germany runs on gsm just like tmobile so it should be easy to port yr phone or get a sim card here. esp if it's tmobile- if it's not tmobile, then that's another story but start from the beginning not in the drunken-eat-vomit-end.

madame cussword was just in deutschland and all it took was $25 to activate some global something shit and while data was a bit slow it handled whatsapp, skype, etc., plus imessage which is $0.

i already checked my provider's website and looked at my options... don't wanna spend 12€ per day for 6mb data and 0,49€/text, 1,69€/min

i dunno is 6mb a lot? cause i think i'll be using google maps a lot....

getting a t mobile sim card for $30 sounds waaay better. i mean, i won't call home, i just need it to send my mum/friends whatsapp messages and call/text my friends in the US and maybe to make plans with people i meet there. sooooo... yeah. $30 sounds better than what my options are with my provider.

jeezus fukin christ 12 euros a day? nuts. she got 100 megs for $25 and the calls were expensive but she didn't call.


not really no. you can get directions without maps proper though, esp. ny. , but apps like facebook eat bw like crazy bc on all the time. plus skype/whatsapp videos/ ect might eat (but you might wanna save that for wifi)



yeah it's better if your phone will allow it (now that i read, i know). but make sure it allows it. that pc mag link i posted you there names the thing. something-something mobile (it's what ebolgoat said, but specifically). also makes texts cheap and gives you 911 which is good.

my provider's website also said that all phones sold through them don't have sim-lock or whatever, so other sim cards should be fine.
and iphones are the same everywhere, so there should be no problem, right???

in australia my german (nokia) phone wouldn't work with my australian sim card and my australian nokia wouldn't work with my german one.
but then again, they didn't sold the one i had in germany in australia and vice versa....
BUT IPHONES ARE EVERYWHEREEEEEEE, thanks dead bald guy

read teh article actually. it goes into a lot of detail esp. re:iphone. it's a year old, but that's not too absolutely old. plus they have a bunch of comments.

just read it and thought the best plan would be to go into one of those shops at the airport or wherever and cry and make people help me.
(probably getting the t mobile thing racist mexican mentioned)

THANK YOU FOR HELPING, btw!


<3

just bring my jamón and all will be well

but i wanted to act like an apple :(

hello, I am in the states 8)

so, did you get yr "handy" to work?

not yet
