[Debconf-discuss] mall run to purchase SIM cards

[Steve Langasek <vorlon@debian.org>]

Since people have had mixed results getting working data SIMs, I thought I'd
offer to do a group purchase of movistar SIMs for people.

For C$100 (~5USD), you can get a local SIM that enables you to access an
unlimited data plan for the price of US$1/day plus tax - and they have a
promotion where you get the first 5 days free.

If you would like me to pick up a SIM for you, find me today before 7pm and
bring either US$5 or C$100.  If you want something other than just a data
plan and would like to go along to the mall, I'll be leaving at 7pm sharp
from hacklab 1.

Please note the operating frequencies listed on
<http://debconf12.debconf.org/local-information.xhtml#phone-internet>:
although this is an unlimited plan and nominally provides 3G service, my
experience is that my phone will only talk 2G.
