That's exactly what I am doing... You do need an unlocked GSM phone for that though.. Lucky me, yay Blackberry!

How quickly does surfing internet use up 500 mb though? I don't have a data plan so I have no idea.

Can't use data on blackberry with their setup.

I've had that discussion with Steve before. It depends what you use it for. If you are like me and primary usage is data, then T-Mobile pre-paid is best. If you actually plan to call home then this may be better. Personally I prefer the T-Mobile option as I can always just use VoIP (Skype/Viber) if I need to call home. $2/$3 a day is much more preferable in my shoes.

I see the sim card is .99 online. Will they ship them up here? Do they stale date the sim card if it is not used/reloaded within a certain period of time?

Actually can't use data on a Blackberry on any US SIM plan as I understand it.. I had hoped to tether my Playbook to my BB phone that way but now I guess I'll have to settle for phone and text for now and find wifi where I can.

You can't use Blackberry data (like BBM) but regular data is fine. So you can still browse on your web, use third party apps etc. (I had a Blackberry as recently as 4 months ago so this is from personal experience)

Really? You're sure..? I have been told by more than one source you can't use data via tethering when using any US sim card..

Since both my phones are unlocked I tried ordering a t-mobile sim card. No way to ship it to Can.

Also from the fine print, looks like they kill your sim card after 90 days of non use.

Totally forgot about this promo. Looks like I will be spending a few hours in Mirage.

10K Quads: 9,782 (Only 218 to go until someone banks a cool $10 G's - and 9 other players get $500 each!)

Projected hit time frame still wraps around our 4th Quarter Freeroll weekend (November 9, 10, 11)

The room will be hopping!

All in and booked for this! Staying at the Monte Carlo Nov 6 - 14 for $630 as the Flamingo and Harrah's want like a $1000 for 8 nights now. Even IP was close to $500 and it is under major renos now. Plus I like the MC having stayed there before the city centre was built and there is the monorail from Monte Carlo to Bellagio readily available sweet!

I booked 2 free nights at Caesars Windsor for Monday Nov 5 and Wed Nov 14 and the Spirit flight is the following all in for $277 which is the same flight as the Mooses.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 06, 2012
TIME 11:05 AM FLIGHT 511 Detroit, MI --> 12:30 PM Las Vegas, NV

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 2012
TIME 11:58 AM FLIGHT 388 Las Vegas, NV --> 6:47 PM Detroit, MI

Looking forward to the trip all thou sadly TheGrail can't make this one.

Cheers, Steve

haha....yep.

Obviously I meant say 'Hi!' to Andrew or Matthew (whatever his name is) at Bill's Gambolling Saloon

moose

Ok and why are we meeting at Bill's?

Hellmuth's Mole

What the hell is going on in Vegas the night of the 10th? Just checking last minute flights are a steal but to find a room Saturday night is ridiculous. Not a UFC fan but that would be my first guess.
