Lesson #712 - Colorful Rebellions
If you decide to throw a rebellion, perhaps you can consider what color you want to be associated with first, ok? - - Also, just like when I posted the comic about the Red Lantern Award in the Iditarod, I'm sure some of you will want to inform me about the War of Light in the Green Lantern comics. No need to do so, kids, I already know.

A wiki for prepaid (iPhone compatible) SIM cards around the world

Here's what this wiki is about:

This wiki aims to collect information about pay as you go mobile phone plans from all over the world. Not just any plans though, they must include decent data rates, perfect for iPhone and Android smart phone travellers.

Pay as you go providers with data by country (A-Z)

Pay as you go

Pay as you go, also known as prepaid allows a customer to get mobile access without signing up for a long term plan. This makes it perfect for a person who is only visiting a country for a short time. To complicate matters a bit, the popularity of phones such as the iPhone has led to another requirement on the pay as you go plans: data. In order to be able to use the phones as intended, with internet access, you need to get a plan with decent data rates.

More information

SIM card

When you purchase a pay as you go plan you are given a SIM card to be inserted into your phone. Commonly in the mini size, but with the introduction of the iPad and iPhone 4 some providers also stock micro SIM's.

It's possible to cut a mini SIM into a micro SIM, and there are special punches available from cutmysim.com .

More information

SIM lock

It is not uncommon that a phone purchased together with a plan is SIM locked to that particular provider. This means that when you go abroad and try to use a foreign SIM card it will not work. We will not provide information on how to unlock you phone in this wiki, there are other resources out there that already tell you how.

Data bolt-ons

Bolt-ons, boosters and features are all the same name for when you pay a fixed sum for an extra feature on top of you pay as you go plan. It is commonly how you get decent data rates. You pay a fixed sum for a certain number of megabytes, once they expire you pay the normal, usually quite high, rates.

Roaming

Roaming is when you keep using your plan from your country of origin abroad. It is usually VERY expensive to do so, cases where users come home to a bill that eat up a month's salary or more is not uncommon. The cure is to use a local pay as you go SIM card instead.

Can't find a good data rate?

Some destinations have exorbitant pay as you go data rates. So, you might end up relying on WiFi hotspots but still want a local number for making and receiving voice calls. PrePaidGSM lists payg sims for almost every country in the World.

Recitation #64 - Cats
What a catastrophe. (Catastrophe, of course, is a word describing when a cat's butt muscles weaken from disuse.) - - If you've got a question for recitation, send it on in. On a side note, if you forget to tell me your name, I'm going to call you Fred, to go along with the Aberdeen rule that already exists. - - Also, I finally have the time to respond to emails if you send one, after having been rarely able to answer any since April. So if you had sent any non-recitation emails that you had hoped for a response to, go ahead and send it again. Otherwise, I'll do my best going forward.

ANTS in my scanner > a five years time-lapse!

I installed an ant colony inside my scanner five years ago.
I scanned the nest each week.

music : Franks - Infected Mushroom.

il y a cinq ans j'ai installé une fourmilière dans mon vieux scanner. ce qui m'a permis de scanner en très haute définition ce microcosme (animal, végétal et minéral) en permanente évolution.

Not so easily to dismissively destroy language with this picture in your mind, now is it? Really, language teachers should try this tactic when teaching kids how to write essays. It would work wonders.

Lesson #710 - Crazy
My favorite play ever is a one-act comedy by Christopher Durang that goes further with this idea better than I possibly can. It is also the most hilarious play you will ever see. To put it simply, there is a woman who thinks she invented cheese, and someone else who believes himself to be a son, a father, a grandfather, and a French count, three out of four of whom are in love with the woman who thinks she invented cheese. Plus three other great roles. And then there's the Tinkerbell monologue. Believe me - do not miss a chance to see/act in 'Dentity Crisis. - - So yeah, new blackboard. Going to keep looking for another one.
