T-Mobile and AT&T/Cingular are the only GSM providers, is your phone triband?

I was in Florida the year before last and i remember seeing sign in Wall mart to the effect that they did not sell RTG sims to "UK customers" i presumed it was something to with ID that had to be shown , does RTG exist as we know it here.Maybe previous poster could answer that.

Yes, T-Mobile pre-paid is available, thats what i use. Also AT&T who are called Cingular Wireless now have a pre-paid plan, they are the only GSM networks. The others are different altogether, called CDMA networks, i dont think they require simcards and the info is programmed in. Correct me if im wrong here. Most of the time with those you cant just get the pre paid card, you have to buy the phone with it. The answer to the question is yes, prepaid sims exist, just like ready to go. You shouldnt have any problem really i dont think
