Possibly 2 More Mvnos

OK
1) Beyond Wireless.
Currently they are a TDMA prepaid provider (no expiration dates!), but they are rumored to roll out a GSM MVNO and start to ohase out their TDMA MVNO starting in 2006 (Incentives will be given to switch I think)

2) SBC bought AT&T and SBC now calls itself AT&T. SBC owns 60% of cingular. There have been rumors of CIngular being renamed to AT&T Wireless (or AT&T Mobile) - or maybe AT&T will create an MVNO on Cingular's system. - we'll see.

I like the sound of AT&T Wireless more than AT&T Mobile

No more news on the AT&T/Cingular or Beyond Wireless MVNO issues but here are some more MVNO related:

RockITTalk
US GSM MVNO
No "standard" prepaid offer, but they do offer no contracts, so if you are going to be in the US for a while, they might be an option:
Their Rates:
http://rockittalk.com/new/rockit.php?comma...w=plans&accept=

The bad: No GPRS, No EDGE, no CSD, No 3G, No MMS
You need to pay a one time deposit of $125 - BUT is is refundable

The good: Unlimited local calling, unlimited SMS (Unknown if it is good for international SMS as well)

Their FAQ: http://rockittalk.com/new/rockit.php?command=howitworks

CityFone
Canadian GSM MVNO
Not "standard" prepaid (i.e. top off cards)
They seem to be contract based

Their Plans

This does not seem like an option for the person visiting canada for a small amount of time, but it might be an option for someone who will be living in canada for a while (exchange student for example)

Rockittalk folded on 12/9. Some discussion of this on HoFo. Some question as to whether it was a scam or ineptness.
They claim they will rise again (per cryptic notice on their web site).

I use an LG G6, wife an S7) A/o Oct 20, 2013 no need for intl prepaid as T-Mobile U.S. includes voice roaming at 20¢/min (in and out)., unlimited text (in and out), and unlimited data in 140+ countries. My Plan -[6 lines] U.S. T-Mobile unlimited minutes (incoming and outgoing), unlimited text, fast data on each line. that $145/mo. total! . (In U.S. no surcharge for calling a cell.) If a line exceeds 2G of data in a month, pay $10 more for that line. [That only happens a couple times/year.
