Prepaid GPRS Data is available in 116 countries.
Prepaid 3G data is available 45 countries. In order to access pre-paid 3G data, you must have a 3G phone and you must select the applicable 3G network operator for the country you are in.
Tip 1: 3G is a relatively new standard, and in general is only available in major cities.
Tip 2: The majority of GPRS phones can download data at speeds of up to 24kbps (kilobytes per second), and upload data at speeds of up to 14 kbps. 3G speeds are generally significantly faster than GPRS (although they vary by handset model). If you wish to use your phone for accessing the internet and responding to email, we recommend purchasing a 3G phone.
Rates are quoted in MB (Megabyte) of data used. The minimum charge is for 100KB (100 Kilobytes) and usage is charged in increments of 10KB (10 Kilobytes). Please note that 1 MB is equal to 1024 KB. Rates vary according to the service you intend to purchase. Click here for the rates.
