I recently received a SIM in the USA (for an upcoming UK trip) I was HOPING to get it setup prior to departure, get the number, load some value, maybe even signup for a data package. But, i can't seem to get it to connect to a local USA network at all. I've tried changing all the APN settings, changing profile to roaming, I can SEE a number in my profile, but it starts with a 300 which apparently is a "dynamic number" that is assigned till the actual 074 UK number is allocated or made known.

Anyone have any thoughts about how to activate - or confirm prior to actually BEING in the UK? should this BE possible at all?
