Because I didn't knonow about them. Thanks.

As I understand it, the locked drei.at E1550 and SIM I bought in September will expire after 4 months. Will I be able to recharge the account with drei.at next September and use the same E1550 and SIM?

If not then presumably by unlocking the E1550 I'll be able to buy a yesss! SIM and bandwidth next year. According to their website, their packages last 1 year which is more useful to me since I visit Austria usually only once a year.

A side issue. Drei.at lets me roam in the UK using the AT stick and SIM. If I visit the UK and buy a 3.UK SIM/bandwidth will I be able to use that with my AT E1550, i.e. is it locked to drei.at or to all of the 3 network?

As for the Hofer stores in Innsbruck, the one by the train station, on Museumstraße 14, always seems to be out of stock on SIM cards. They have the refills, but no SIMs. The one across the river, on Mitterweg 18 is always fully stocked.

That's good to know. Thanks.

P.S. What can I do with an unlocked E1550 in Canada? As far as I know, the big three (Rogers, Bell and Telus) don't sell bandwidth on a non-contract basis. Are there any other options? Same in the US?
