Hi All,<br>
<br>
I just came home from a wonderful trip trough the USA.<br>
Lots of beautiful scenery and animals.<br>
I also used my european FR to make calls and to have internet access.<br>
The "even more plus unlimited data plan" was not available for my SIM
card, i would have needed a new sim card, but because i was traveling
this was not an option.<br>
So i went with the prepaid "sidekick" plan, unlimited internet access
for 1 dollar per day.<br>
It worked very well in california and was usable in the other states.<br>
don't expect miracles, it is gprs and thus a bit slow, and in states
like nevada, you only have coverage near big cities.<br>
This might be due to the fact that i have a European FR, i am not sure.<br>
It worked well enough to send my gps logs back home while i was driving.<br>
<br>
I also used my FR to track my transatlantic flight, from holland to <br>
San francisco, see [1] [2]<br>
(with an external battery pack to cover the ten hour flight)<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
Ed<br>
<br>

<br>
I want to get a t-mobile "even more plus unlimited data plan" in the
USA.<br>
Is there anyone with hands on experience with this plan?<br>
It says, unlimited web access, does that mean unlimited access to web<br>
sites, or can i use ssh/scp/rsync to offload my pictures and videos to<br>
my server at home?<br>

<div>I have a T-Mobile Even More Plus plan with "Unlimited Web for
Phones". I just successfully ssh'd from my phone to an internet host,
so they don't block port 22. I know common protocols like POP and IMAP
work in addition to web, and with ssh, I guess you could tunnel
anything else you might need. If you're going to be rsync'ing your
video library, you may want to ask about data caps on a mobile forum
site like <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://howardforums.com">howardforums.com</a>,
but it's hard to imagine you'll have a problem at GPRS speed with the
Freerunner.</div>

<div>Good luck!</div>
